Love seeing athletes push the limits of human performance! Duplantis's dedication and skill are truly inspiring. As runners, we can appreciate the hard work and perseverance it takes to reach new heights (literally). Congrats to him on the well-deserved win!
Love this article! It's so refreshing to see the spotlight on women who may not be the most decorated athletes, but have incredible stories and dedication to the sport. Their perseverance is truly inspiring.
Love this story! Reminds me of my own humble beginnings. 10 seconds might be all it takes to make a statement. Good luck Winzar!
Focus on proper form, stride, and cadence. Strength train, too.
Honestly, I've tried both and seen benefits from midfoot striking, but it's not a game-changer for everyone. If you're not experiencing injuries, heel striking might not be worth changing. Focus on proper form and listen to your body. What's your current mileage and goal race distance?
Agree on 'The Run Experience'! Also, 'Running for Real' has great interviews and advice for all levels.
Honestly, speed workouts are about building mental toughness as much as physical fitness. You're training your brain to push past discomfort. It's not just about getting faster, it's about being resilient.
I've done pilates for years and it's been a game-changer for my running. It's helped me build core strength, improve my form, and reduce my risk of injury. I do it 1-2 times a week, focusing on exercises that target my glutes and hips. It's not a replacement for running, but it's a great supplement to your training. Give it a shot and see how it works for you!
Not sure how this relates to running, but thanks for sharing. Anyone else find it hard to focus on their training with all the distractions in the world?
