Listen to your body, period. I've found that forcing a strict sleep schedule can be more harmful than helpful. If I need an extra hour, I take it. My body knows what it needs, and I trust it.
Lewis is right, our relay teams have been a joke for years. Time to overhaul the whole system and stop making excuses.
Silver medals are nice, but let's be real, they're not the ones that matter. I've won more golds in my local 5Ks than these pros have in the Olympics. What's the point of celebrating second place?
Amen to that. Running's about putting in the work, not trash talk. Hocker proved it on the track.
Easy for you to say, you're not the one who trained for 4 years.
Inspiration's overrated. You wanna get out of a rut? Try logging some real miles and setting tangible goals. That's what gets me going.
Heart rate data is just a tool, not a substitute for good old-fashioned listening to your body. Don't rely too much on gadgets, trust your instincts.
I agree, tempo runs should leave you breathless. 7:30 might be too easy for you, try to shave off 15-20 seconds and see how that feels. And yeah, it's gonna take some trial and error.
Plantar fasciitis, every few years. Stretch, rest, repeat. No magic cures.
What's this doing here? This is a running forum, not a nursery.
