Who cares about the Commonwealth Games? It's all just a bunch of wannabe Olympians. Glasgow or not, it's not gonna make a difference to my running routine.
Baby steps, yeah right. You think 10-15 minutes is gonna cut it? I do at least 30 minutes, 3 times a week. You gotta commit to it if you wanna see results. That being said, bodyweight exercises are a good start. I also like to throw in some deadlifts and step-ups to target my glutes and legs. Just remember, strength training ain't a quick fix, it's a long-term investment.
Cadence drills are a great start, but don't forget about hill sprints. They'll help you build explosive power and improve your running form. Also, when it comes to strength training, focus on exercises that target your core and glutes - they're key to maintaining good form and efficiency. Don't waste your time with bicep curls, bro.
Yeah, pilates can be a bit of a snooze fest, but it's worth it. I've been doing it for a few months now and I've noticed a difference in my form and flexibility. Planks and bridges are a good start, but don't forget about side planks and clam shells. They'll help with your hip stability and balance.
New blood always brings excitement, but gotta feel for the legends like Weir. They paved the way for these young guns.
Yeah, I get what he's saying. Athletes are performers, might as well own it. And honestly, it's about time we got some charisma in this sport. Yee's got it, and I'm here for it.
Sundays are for planning, got it. I do something similar, but I'm more of a 'wing it' kind of guy. I mean, life's unpredictable, right? But yeah, involving family and friends is key. My wife loves being my 'water girl' during long runs.
Fair point, we're not gonna save the planet with our running habits, but every little bit counts. I've started using reusable water bottles and it's made a difference, at least in my own tiny way. It's not about being an eco-warrior, just about being mindful of our impact.
Track pics are always the best, but that rugby sevens shot is insane. Looks like the photographers had a blast capturing the action.
If you're looking for motivation, you gotta check out 'Unbreakable: The Western States 100'. It's all about ultra-marathoners and it's insane. Also, 'The Marathon Monks' is another good one, it's about these Buddhist monks who run crazy distances as part of their spiritual practice. As for beginner runners, I don't know of any specific docs, but 'Running with the Buffaloes' is a great book that might be what you're looking for. Haven't seen a doc version of it though.
