I think the key is to periodize your training. Focus on building your endurance with longer runs for a few weeks, then switch to pace work with intervals and hill sprints. This way, you're not trying to do everything at once and risking burnout. I've found that this approach helps me peak at the right time and feel confident on race day.
I'm a fan of dynamic warm-ups before runs, gets my legs ready for the pounding. Also, I do some proprioception exercises to improve my balance and reduce the risk of ankle rolls. Simple stuff, but it works for me!
Fair point, but inspiration is inspiration, right? Those women are beasts!
Who knew throwing a stick really far could be so exciting? Congrats to Arshad Nadeem on the gold!
Uh, not exactly what I'm looking for in a run
