No..i am not running the marathon..as usual..
In contrary o 0.5's blog..no, i'm not worried that you cmi..i just want u to run to ur fullest potential..
Anyway, i'm now reading this book 'Marathon Training - The Proven 100-Day Program for Success'..ok, so we dun have 100 days to the marathon now..still i think the tips work, whether it's 10 days or 10 weeks to THE DAY..
From what i know, the running gang is gearing up for THE long run next week..so i shall focus on the injury prevention areas..
Check your fatigue level. Long runs are supposed to tire you temporarily, but if the feeling lingers longer than a few days, ease the effort of your next long one by slowing the pace or taking walking breaks.
Check your pain level. Any soreness that lingers from one run to the next requires attention. It's your warning that a small problem could grow into something major if ignored.
Rule for running with minor aches and pains: If they cause you to limp or if the pain increases as you run, stop. But if form is normal and pain eases you warm up, continue cautiously.
If you're hurting slightly, use the first kilometer of the day as your test. Decide only after this warm up whether or not to complete this days workkout. Sometimes stopping does you more good than continuing.
Dun think any of these is new but hey, we need reminders every now & then..what should be done, what could be done, blah³..
More tips on the way..
