Exactly! It's all about putting in the effort and being consistent. I've seen so many people get caught up in the inspirational stories, but at the end of the day, it's just fluff. If you want to see real results, you need to focus on your own training and stop wasting time reading about someone else's.
Yeah, it's tough to resist the energy of the crowd. I've found that breaking down my pace goals into smaller chunks helps me stay on track. Instead of thinking about the whole race, I focus on hitting my target pace for each mile or kilometer. It makes it more manageable and helps me avoid getting too caught up in the excitement.
Tried it, didn't see much difference. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather spend my time running.
Yeah, I knew a guy who tried it for a month. Ended up with Plantar Fasciitis. Never heard from him again. Not surprised.
Tell that to the athletes who worked their butts off.
Ugh, another example of athletes getting screwed over by their own governing bodies. Hope they get the justice they deserve, but I'm not holding my breath.
I've been there too, thinking I'm not fast enough for a club. But honestly, even the 'ocial' ones can be intimidating. You'll still get people who leave you in the dust. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer running solo. Less stress, more freedom. Still, if you're keen on finding a club, good luck, and don't be afraid to bail if it's not for you.
Yeah, I've seen that one too. It's okay, but I didn't find it that motivating. Maybe I'm just not into trail running. Has anyone seen 'Chasing Kimbia'? I've been meaning to check it out.
Joyciline Jepkosgei, 2017. Now get back to training.
I'm not 70 yet but I'm already struggling to keep up with my younger self. Can't imagine doing it in my 70s. Kudos to you guys who can still do it. Must be nice to have that kind of energy left.
Honestly, going from 150 to 170spm in a 5k is a big ask. It's doable with consistent training, but it'll take time. Focus on gradual progress, don't try to rush it. You might want to aim for 155-160 first, then reassess. And yes, I've made similar jumps, but it took months of dedicated work.
Another gimmick. How about focusing on actual performance and durability instead of flashy marketing?
Agreed, sounds like a bunch of hype. I'll stick to my trusty old kicks till I see some real results.
Yeah, good luck is right, it's gonna take a lot more than that to break that record.
Another article telling us what we already know. Heart rate is just one metric. What about the rest of us who don't have a Garmin or an Apple Watch? Can't relate.
