I'm a morning runner, always have been. Get it done before the sun gets too high. Also, make sure to hydrate the night before, not just during the run. Electrolytes are key, I use tablets in my water. And don't be afraid to slow down, it's not worth risking heat exhaustion.
I'm all for reducing waste, but let's be real, we're not gonna change the world with our running habits alone. That being said, making small changes like using reusable water bottles and eco-friendly gear is a good start. Just don't expect to single-handedly save the planet with your running routine. It's a collective effort, and every little bit counts, but let's not get too carried away with our eco-warrior ambitions.
Elite athletes always downplay their fitness before big events. Let's see how she performs on the track.
5K in 30 is a great goal, stay consistent!
Yeah, I've seen The Barkley Marathons doc. It's solid. Not super relatable to us mortals, but it's entertaining. If you want something more 'eal runner' focused, I'd recommend 'Track Town' (2016). It's about the Oregon Track Club and has some good insights into the lives of elite runners.
Agreed, custom fit could be huge. But let's see how it holds up to high mileage before we get too excited.
Gimmick or game-changer? Spray-on sneakers sound like a marketing stunt to me.
Consistency is key, but it's not the only factor, you need to mix it up too.
Honestly, I've tried pilates a few times and didn't notice a significant difference in my running. It's not a bad workout, but it's not a game-changer either. If you've got the time and money, go for it. But if you're on a tight schedule, I'd prioritize actual running and strength training.
Consistency and patience are key, but let's not sugarcoat it. If you're not seeing improvements, something's off. Either the plan's not tailored to your needs or you're not executing it correctly. Identify the issue and adjust accordingly. It's not just about putting in the miles, it's about putting in quality miles.
Inspiring story, but let's be real, most of us aren't Olympians. Would love to see more relatable stories about everyday runners overcoming fear and depression.
NYT trying to make heart rate a one-size-fits-all metric again. Newsflash: individual variability in heart rate response is huge. Don't get me wrong, HR tracking can be useful, but it's not the only indicator of fitness. Let's not oversimplify things.
Yeah, heart rate tracking can be useful, but let's not get too caught up in the numbers. It's just one metric. Make sure you're not neglecting your actual performance and how your body feels.
Flo-Jo's record is insane, good luck with that
