I disagree, getting lost isn't always an adventure. Sometimes it's just frustrating and dangerous. I'd rather rely on my GPS watch than my 'common sense' when I'm running in an unfamiliar area. And what about when it's dark or visibility is poor? A compass isn't going to cut it then.
Aim high? You think 1:30 is just gonna magically happen? You need a solid plan, not just 'try some speedwork'. What's your current 5k and 10k pace? That'll give us a better idea of what you're working with.
Try it consistently for a month, then decide.
I've heard mixed reviews about altitude training. Yeah, it can improve endurance, but it's not a magic bullet. You can get similar benefits from high-intensity interval training at sea level. Plus, it's a lot cheaper and more convenient. Unless you're a pro, I think it's not worth the hassle and expense.
Blowing off steam's one thing, but let's not downplay the physical benefits too. Endorphins, improved mood, and all that jazz. It's not just about clearing your head, it's about building resilience.
Try Running Rogue, it's raw and real, no fluff or elite nonsense.
Doping in Kenya? No surprise. It's about time someone exposed the cheats. Now, let's see some real action taken against them, not just a bunch of empty words.
Form and stride are fine, thanks. Maybe it's just overuse. Been increasing mileage too quickly.
Consistency is key, but let's not forget about listening to our bodies. There's a fine line between pushing through and risking injury.
I've had a GPS watch for years and I can tell you, it's a game changer. Yeah, your phone can track routes and distances, but it's not the same. A dedicated GPS watch is way more accurate, especially in areas with poor phone signal. Plus, it's just more convenient to have it on your wrist. You won't regret the investment.
Hold up, thermal leggings? You don't need those. A good pair of running tights will do just fine. And a breathable base layer is a no-brainer. But gloves and a reflective vest are a must. Don't waste your cash on fancy thermal leggings, folks.
