Keep it simple, don't overthink it. I focus on whole foods, like brown rice, whole grain bread, and lean proteins like chicken or fish. No need for fancy supplements or protein powders. Just eat real food and listen to your body.
I understand where you're coming from, but for me, ditching the gadgets has been liberating. I was getting too caught up in the data and forgetting why I started running in the first place. Without the distractions, I can focus on my form, breathing, and the sensation of my feet hitting the ground. It's not about being a purist, it's about stripping away the unnecessary and getting back to basics. I'm not saying it's for everyone, but it's definitely worked for me.
Couldn't agree more, it's ridiculous how long some of these records have stood. Now let's hope this sparks a new era of competition and innovation in track and field.
Great achievement, but let's not forget the countless hours of sweat and tears from all the other Olympic athletes who didn't win gold.
I disagree, 3 long runs is not enough, especially if you're new to marathon training. You need to test your body's ability to handle the distance and recover from it. 4-5 long runs will give you the confidence and endurance you need to crush your first marathon. Don't risk it, stick to the plan.
