Suck it up and deal with it? Easy for you to say. I've had to deal with -30°C winds and frostbite warnings. You can't just 'uck it up' when it's that cold. That being said, I do agree on the gear. Sweat-wicking clothes are a must, and a good balaclava can be a lifesaver. But let's not downplay the importance of adapting to extreme temperatures. It's not just about being tough, it's about being smart and safe.
Who cares about Olympic gold? I care about my next 5K PR, not some distant athlete's achievement.
Who needs a coach when you have mountains?
Flagstaff's altitude is only around 7,000 ft, that's not high enough to make a significant difference. You need to go higher than that to see real results.
Yeah, maybe, but KJT's got a history of injuries. I'm not so sure it's just mind games this time.
