    Mileage absolutely makes a difference in what you can achieve, but yes..it has to be balanced with productive an easy runs. I moved away from only doing speed in my speed sessions to also doing lactate threshold segments on my speed days as well as intervals as part of some of my long runs. 3200km in 2024. biggest year by a long shot

    i had calf issues in 2023. Don't know how old you are, but I realised with age comes the need to do strength work. So i added 5 minutes of glute work with resistance bands before each run ass well as a gym session to do core and leg strength work. I also replaced my monday run with 45 - 60 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Still gives you the cardio workout but gives the pressure on the muscles and joints a day off

    thanks. it certainly helped build a base for Amsterdam and the elusive sub 3..so all good in the end 😊

    that is the only good thing about my boston experience! My worst marathon by a long shot. Too hot, went out with on overly ambitious time, and did not nearly do enough hill training...but, the crowds were amazing

    Still running. had my best ever year last year with PB's in 5km, 10mile, half marathon and marathon so it is going to be difficult to top that year! but...New age category next year, so the objective for the first half of the year is to try place in a few shorter races

    Happy New Year. Been a while. I stumbled across the thread while doing a google search for something and thought i would say hello

    Mathias was looking very shady in the post race interview.. But at the end of the day.. Like he said.. It's racing
  8. Stretch
    Yeah.. He's had some terrible luck in both racing end qualifying. Let's hope he's on the right trajectory

    Just not got results

    Great afternoons racing today. A positive 3rd place for Greg. Bummed that Finn didn't get his first win but Armoury was on another level. As for the ladies, Miriam was also on another level even if cami me no mistakes she still wouldn't have been a match for Myriam today

    Yeah.. not saying he didn't have a brilliant race. When he realised they were on him he pulled into his reserves and used some of that South African grit to hold them off, but you could see that he was spent going up that big climb

    Hatherly just held on. He was blown in that last lap

    She had to run up the hill and then get her bike corrected. Probably 2 minutes in that alone. Then had to redline to pass all of the field for 5 laps from the back. All this at your home event when you were wanting to perform. Yes, I would say she had a right to be disappointed and angry at the end of the event. As would any professional in that situation. Yet she still composed herself and interviewed soon after. Not bad for someone who is not even 21 years old. For someone who is still learning i think it showed massive professionalism and yes I definitely think it's impressive

    Positions were pretty much set from hallway through lap 1. The stigger Frei for 3rd was about the most exciting bit too watch. Mitterwalner coming up to 15th was pretty impressive after that disastrous start

    Cam balanche destroyed everyone. Unreal run
