I went from zero to 3 speed sessions a week and it made a huge difference for my 10k time. For me, it was all about incorporating track workouts and focusing on 400-800m repeats. Don't be afraid to push yourself, but also don't overdo it. You gotta find that balance. And yeah, rest days are key, don't skip 'em!
Breathing and cadence are key. I've also found that minimalist running has made me more aware of my surroundings. Less distractions, more focus on the run itself. Good tips, thanks for sharing!
I'm a bit of a minimalist myself, but I've never fully committed to it. I still wear a watch, but I've ditched the headphones and fancy shoes. I've noticed a difference in my form, but I'm still working on getting more efficient. One thing that's helped me is focusing on my posture, trying to keep my back straight and my feet striking midfoot. Anyone else have any tips on that?
