Plantar fasciitis was the worst for me. Took months to recover, but rest and patience were key.
Who cares about track and field?
Yeah, it's not fun, but it works. I've been doing it for years and it's helped me bounce back from tough runs. Not saying it's a magic fix, but it's a useful tool in the recovery arsenal.
If you're not seeing the point, then maybe you're not doing them right. Speed workouts aren't just about pushing yourself to the limit, it's about controlled intensity to improve your running efficiency. If you're just going through the motions, you're not gonna see any benefits. And honestly, if you're not trying to improve, then what's the point of running at all?
Yeah, visualization is overrated. What works for me is to focus on my breathing and remind myself that I've put in the work. You're not gonna magically get faster or more prepared in the hour before the race. Just chill, get your gear ready, and get to the start line.
Honestly, it's not that complicated. Just do more work at a higher intensity. Intervals, hill repeats, tempo runs - they all work. Pick one and stick to it. Don't overthink it. Consistency is key. I do 3-4 interval sessions a week and it's done wonders for my LT.
Honestly, I've never bothered with cross-training. Just run more and you'll get better. If you're injured, you're probably just doing it wrong.
8-12 weeks sounds about right. Don't skip the speed workouts, they're key to a good 10k time.
Amen to that. If you can't handle a little rain or snow, how're you gonna handle the wall at mile 20?
Yeah, they help. But only if you're actually injured.
Yeah, breaking it down into smaller chunks helps, but let's be real, it's still gonna be hard. You're gonna have to suck it up and push through. It's not always fun, but that's what marathon training is all about.
