You're doing them wrong if you're not hurting at the end, period.
Mindfulness is just a fancy word for focus
2 long runs is plenty if you're putting in the weekly mileage. Don't overthink it, just get the work done.
Ditch the visualization, focus on your training, and remember you're as prepared as you're gonna be. It's just a race, bro.
Intervals are overrated, hill repeats are where it's at.
Yeah, no fancy gadgets or scenery to distract you from your lack of fitness. Track workouts are brutal, but they're the best way to build real endurance.
Honestly, I think barefoot running is overhyped. Yeah, it strengthens your feet and ankles, but it's not like it's gonna magically make you faster or more efficient. I've tried it a few times and it's just not worth the risk of stepping on glass or getting injured. Plus, most people aren't patient enough to transition slowly and end up getting hurt. If you're curious, try it out, but don't expect miracles.
Exactly, what's the point of fancy rooms?
Agree, dwelling on it only makes it worse. But let's be real, it's hard to just 'ove on' when you've put in months of work and it all goes to crap. I think it's okay to feel the emotions, acknowledge the suck, and then get back to work. Bottling it up doesn't help either.
Pruney feet are the least of your worries. I've seen people do more damage to their feet with shoes than without. Barefoot running isn't for everyone, but it's not a fad. It's a legitimate training method that requires dedication and patience.
