Dynamic stretches are where it's at. I've seen zero benefits from static stretching before a run. It's all about getting your muscles warm and ready to go, not holding a pose for 30 seconds.
Treadmills are for wimps. Just suck it up and run outside. But if you're dead set on it, I've heard the ProForm ones are decent for the price.
I don't overthink it. Just start with a pace that feels comfortable and adjust as you go. You'll figure it out with time. Don't rely too much on gadgets, focus on your body's feedback.
Yeah yeah, US dominates, we get it. What about the actual racing strategies and splits? That's what I care about, not just 'US wins' headlines.
About time someone acknowledged Ingebrigtsen's dominance. Kerr's gonna need to bring his A-game if he wants to take him down.
Cycling and swimming are not substitutes for running, they're just different exercises. If you want to get better at running, you need to run.
Honestly, I think you're focusing on the wrong thing. Stride length isn't everything. I've seen guys with crazy long strides get destroyed by guys with quick turnover. Work on your cadence and strength training instead. You'll see way more improvement.
You're not wrong, but it's not that simple. I've had my fair share of highs and lows. It's not just about running far or fast, it's about pushing yourself and finding that sweet spot. Maybe OP just needs to mix it up and find what works for them.
