STOP IT
Dodge, it's still called front crawl. When I was a little lass we called it overarm!:o)
Mike, I've had an email from Sean thanking me for the picture so I know he got it ok.
I'm due to start marathon training next Monday, but I've missed a couple of weeks of pre training due to injury. Is 18 weeks enough time to basically double the amount of training I usually do?
Looking forward to the unknown!:o)
This week I'm easing back into full training and finishing the week with a 1/2 marathon.
Thought I'd boing this thread from page 4!
*at least that will be the rumour that gets spread if he doesn't join you soon ceal, I'm sure
He may be in big Brother, his son is a TV producer so can't be sure - I don't watch it, honest....turn it over after Friends.
i dont know how to tell you this
but friends has finished
guess this is another message on your computer telling you that you have had a reply to your answer!!!!!!!!
It's too my advantage if the race finishes with a downhill section, but if like on Sunday it finishes with an uphill I lost quite a few places.
No-one expects the ..............
Secondly is what Keith Anderson calls Kenyan Hills, this would be a hill circuit of say 800m where you surge on the up hill and stride out on the down part, thus maintaining an even speed for maybe 10 loops, or a set time - 30 mins. This is the type of hill running I think you need. The slope up and down should not be too steep.
Thirdly is running hilly routes in regular training runs, which are great for conditioning and general endurance building, but won't necessarily make you great at running hills.
In many ways running down hill is more a skill than running up, requiring relaxation around the hips - so if you can improve your up hill running so you can at least hold your own, you can use your down hill skill to pull away when the others try to recover off the top.
Developing more leg power may help you a bit on up hill finishes and will improve your flat sprint speed at the end of any race - but in the end you may gain just a few seconds with a better sprint finish, but can gain minutes by being able to maintain an even pace throughout the race.
I love downhill running especailly in off road races as I find I can beat people who normally beat me on the road!:o)
How can I develop more leg power without building bulk?
You won't bulk up by doing power training unless you take some illegal substances, the distance work will keep you trim. Seb Coe did large amonts of heavy lifting but didn't get big like a sprinter.
