Ep. 37: Mastering The Long Distance Run
In this episode, I speak about the long distance run and how you can make it go by a bit more quickly and how you can make the most out of it. By using these techniques, you can move forward and have less chance of injury.
1. Mindset: Focus on the positives of your run and visualize your route using milestones, fueling tactics, etc...
2. Focus on nutrition and hydration: Think about your nutrition to keep yourself running strong. Try not to overdo it and get used to what works well with your body.
3. Pace yourself: Don't race your run. Try to keep your pace about a minute to 90 seconds per mile/kilometer slower than race pace. You can use sections for race pace but for the most part, it shouldn't be race pace.
4. Break the run into sections: Break it into 3 x 10km sections rather than one long 30km run. Have fun with it. Use one section as race pace or fartleks or warm up, etc... Think about rewarding yourself after the run!
5. Figure out fueling: Figure out when you will fuel and look forward to that. How will you fuel?
6. Figure out post-run nutrition: Your post run meal should be a combination of carbs, protein, fat, and electrolytes to strengthen your body back to recovery mode.
