Vodka.

Well pat on the back for finishing! *pat* *pat* Now to business, in terms of improving speed and distance I would say keep doing what you're doing. -Incorporate some track workouts that focus on faster paced running such as 10 x 400m or 5 x 800m with generous rest periods. -Incorporate some 1 mile repeats for speed run at…

How many km or miles do you walk per day or per week?

Great article P.S

Okay so that's very impressive! My next question is, during a one week training plan, how many workouts do you focus on VO2 max training or do you try to train VO2 every session? Thank you for your insight! :)

It is my pleasure to educate you.

My objective (it's late and I'm really tired) is to acquire the coordinates of the Fountain of Youth and hydrate myself with its elixir. I will then live forever. Peace.

Hey congrats on your vision and objective. If I may just also put this on the table : The SL 5x5 suggests squatting 3 times a week in addition to many other compound movements and encourages you to be adding weight each session respectively. Doing this while maintain a long distance running program will prove to be a…

Agreed! Believe in yourself!

Yep! Good mix

Not sure this qualifies as muscle imbalance. That term is used to refer to the relationship of muscles and it's effects on body position and posture from a biomechanics perspective. Example : the relationship between bicep and tricep there may be a muscle imbalance present if you only work on bicep muscles and never do…

I agree and to add I would say some low impact strength training may help with any muscle imbalances (if present)

This was helpful I too am experiencing a walking pain from running primarily with a forefoot strike and poor show selection. Rest is what I need. Thank you!

Swimming is great, it's low impact and if you decided to increase the volume and challenge yourself in the pool you will see many benefits to that. It also helps with body alignment. You will have to do more than 20 minutes swimming mate. That's just warm up. Get it there a few days a week and do a swim session of 45 to 60…

Swimming will be great for you.

It's mainly the notion of keeping the Heart Rate at a certain number. A lot of runners focus workouts based on Heart Rate Zones (Google it). Stopping may drop the heart rate so some people in fact many runners like to keep moving at a traffic light. Others take the time to rest up and catch their breathe.

Hello there, Yes shin splints can be frustrating. Allow me to recommend stopping any running until the pain has stopped. Running while experiencing shin splints will only make the problem worse and eventually lead to STRESS FRACTURES (tiny Cracks in the bone). So be patient and do some weight lifting in the meantime. Take…

Take cold baths after your workout and soak for fifteen minutes. It's unpleasant but it will definitely answer your questions. Doesn't have to be ICE cold but cold enough you know? Have a protein shake after the workout. Also check out Multi Vitamin Capsules - Active X (from your health store) Platinum Activ-X MultiVitamin…

I very much agree with all of SingingSingleTracker and the feedback provided. Great great insight!

When you shift to a low carbohydrate or a ketogenic diet, your body loses storage carbohydrate, and also begins excreting sodium and water. When this happens, your blood pressure quickly drops, and much of the low energy that is attributed to “low blood sugar” when eating low carbohydrates is actually due to this low blood…

Hmm BOTH. Change it up my friend keep the body happy with new workouts. Shorter sprinting like 10 x 100m Sprints or 8 x 200m Sprints Medium Runs such as 3 4 or 5 miles Longer Runs such as 10km straight with some periods of surging (faster pace) I am unable to do this yet but working on getting back to that level of…

For your chapped lips - take a handheld water bottle that you can sip through the run. Check out FUEL BELT products, it's a light weight belt with 2-4 mini water bottle holsters and a pouch for things like power gels or a debit card/ID card or some chewable gummy candy or chap stick :) (About $20.00 CAN) Very beneficial
