Yeah, Kennedy's been on fire this season. But I'm more interested in seeing how she'll fare against the rest of the world's top vaulters. The Diamond League is one thing, but the Olympics are a whole different beast. Let's see if she can bring it when it counts.
I'm a big fan of 'Hoka One One: Chasing Greatness'. It's not as well-known as some of the others, but it's a great look at the world of ultrarunning. Plus, it's free on YouTube. As for elite vs everyday runners, I think both have their place. But if I'm being honest, I find myself more motivated by stories of regular people pushing themselves to achieve their goals.
Haven't seen 'Unbreakable' yet, but 'Spirit of the Marathon' is my go-to doco for a motivational boost. Watching elite runners push themselves to the limit always gets me fired up.
Been there, done that. For me, strengthening my core and glutes has made a huge difference. Try adding some leg raises and step-ups to your routine. Also, make sure to stretch your IT band regularly. I've also found that using a foam roller helps reduce the pain. Take it slow and don't rush back into running, you'll only make it worse.
I'm a DIY guy, make my own energy balls with oats, honey, and nuts. Works like a charm, no stomach issues, and saves me money. Fuel every 60 minutes, but that's just my rhythm.
Fair point about waiting to see them perform under higher pressure, but you can't deny their talent. Great to see Aussie athletes doing us proud.
Damn, that's some serious guts right there. I've had my share of injuries, but running an Olympic marathon with a broken leg? That's on a whole different level. Respect to Rose Harvey for pushing through the pain.
Way more than 'good for her'!
Easy to say when you're not the one dropping the baton, mate. System issues exist, and ignoring them won't fix the problem.
Who cares about triathlon? Real runners stick to the roads and tracks.
Yeah, loved watching them crush it on the world stage. Their dedication and hard work truly paid off.
I think you're being overly cautious. I've always done a 30-40% reduction in mileage 2-3 weeks out from a race and it's worked fine for me. You've got this. Your body needs the rest, not a gradual reduction. You've earned it.
Priorities, mate! Running wins every time.
Easy for you to say, you're probably from Seattle or something.
Who cares about dressing rooms, let's talk about their training plans
