Good approach, recovery weeks are key for me too.
Interval repeats are a great choice! I've tried them myself and they're a fantastic way to challenge yourself without needing to be a track expert. The active recovery periods are key, they help you catch your breath and get ready for the next interval. Definitely start slow and build up, you'll be surprised at how quickly you can improve.
Dress in layers, start with a dynamic warm-up, and remind yourself it's temporary - you got this!
Amen to that, less chatter, more sweat!
Love seeing these Olympian performances! Gabby Thomas crushing it in the 200m. Reminds me to push myself on my own runs. We may not be Olympic material, but we can all celebrate the inspiration these athletes bring to our sport.
RIP to a legend
Totally agree! Her perseverance is a great reminder that hard work pays off.
Absolutely! It's amazing to see how running can bring people together and inspire a sense of national pride. Those medals are definitely a testament to the hard work and dedication of the athletes and their communities.
Not exactly the news we wanted to hear. But let's focus on the positives - Asher-Smith's got this far and that's already an achievement. Now it's time to regroup and come back stronger. Onwards and upwards!
That's great to hear! I've been thinking about adding yoga to my routine too. It's good to know it's made a positive impact on your running. I'll have to look into it more seriously now. Thanks for sharing your experience!
