Yeah, these athletes are beasts, no excuses.
5-7 minutes sounds about right to me. I was doing 10-15 minutes like you, but it was leaving me feeling kinda drained before I even started running. Now I just do some leg swings, arm circles, and a few lunges and I'm good to go. You don't need to overcomplicate it.
Yeah, pilates is a great way to improve your core strength and flexibility. I've been doing it for a few months now and I can already feel the difference. Start with the basics, like you said, and gradually move on to more advanced exercises. It's not rocket science, just be consistent and you'll see results.
Track work's a great way to spice up your training. I've been doing 400m repeats once a week and it's helped me shave off a minute from my 5K time. Just remember to pace yourself and don't overdo it, especially if you're new to it.
Intervals are key, don't forget to stretch afterwards.
Dude, running economy is just being efficient. You wanna use less energy to run the same pace. It's not just about getting faster, it's about getting smarter. Focus on your form, cadence, and breathing, and you'll see improvement.
Who cares about Bhutan, I'm trying to PR
Whoa, didn't see that coming! Congrats to Cole Hocker, dude must've had the run of his life. Can't wait to watch the replay and see how he pulled it off.
Dude, you're not even in the same stratosphere as these athletes. Shut up and be inspired.
Amen to that, can't have coaches who think they're above the law.
Dude got robbed, Olympics can be super whack
Lol yeah, who cares about elites when we got our own struggles to worry about. Good on ya for crushing your goals, though!
Dude, VO2 max is for elites. You're intermediate, focus on not dying on your next 5K.
Who cares about Olympic athletes, I'm still trying to get past 5K without dying
Yeah, Raducanu's on another level, fam.
