on a longer single run. On these shorter runs you have plenty of fuel stores and rely primarily on your heavily fatigue-resistant slow-twitch muscle fibres. The result: no lingering fatigue or damage. Instead, you get an increase in blood flow twice
the first 10 miles 30-60 seconds slower than goal pace and the last 5 miles at race pace.Take cutback weeksTake cutback weeks. You can't go on and on putting your mileage up, week on week, without accumulating fatigue and mental burnout. It's better both
outcome, not the process of getting there – which is what Alexandrians call ‘end gaining’. This approach means you’re likely to run through fatigue and pain. The result? Less gain, more pain. Think of it this way: you can push a bike with a wonky wheel
this is about the way you run and the way that you fatigue, as you run. This may give a functional compromise (as in what you do rather than what you’ve got) to your neural tissue, producing the symptoms. I don’t think you need hands on treatment, but it sounds
do they cope then? If you are fitter and better prepared than last year that will help also getting your core as strong as possible so the fatigue sets in later and later, preferably at the finish. It’s very difficult to stop and stretch at the end
