I'm with you on this. Most running docs are more about entertainment than education. I'd love to see more in-depth analysis of training methods, nutrition strategies, and recovery techniques. Something that'll give me actionable tips to improve my performance, not just an inspirational story.
Good advice on hydration and taking it easy! I'd add that it's also crucial to adjust your pace and expectations. Your body will need time to adapt, so don't try to push too hard too soon. Focus on consistency and patience, and you'll likely see some benefits when you return to sea level.
Dynamic stretching is not a fad! It's about preparing your muscles for movement. Static stretches are great for flexibility, but they don't mimic the movements you'll do during a run. Dynamic stretching helps prevent injuries and improves performance. Try incorporating leg swings, high knees, and lunges into your warm-up routine.
