You don't have any deload weeks in your plan ? They're necessary to prevent injuries, burnout , fatigue, etc.

I was for a bit but then I left it and started doing it purely off vibes and that’s kinda when I fell apart

I’m not injured per se I don’t think, I just burned out and I’m waiting for my legs to feel “good”. But I should probably just re enter a plan and push through

Nah I was using a garmin plan
And tbh that s*** had me blasting through with progress but nah there wasn’t really a deload I don’t think.. I’ll keep that in mind going forward

Lmao I take a pre workout before runs and I burp the entire time

Are you hauling ass every run?

i just mix pure l-citrulline powder and electrolytes

if that means your bottom is secured id rather that tbh

Before I leave the house I make sure the tank is cleared

Anyone have a solution to having a limp after running?

I've ran about 100 miles so far this year and now I'm developing a limp after I run anything more than a 5k.

I've been stretching and started to do more lower body exercises, but still hurting days after running.

Any suggestions?

yeah kinda tbh. I wasn’t really doing slow runs , kinda just going at it with heavy effort

Yea you don’t need to do that. Some and if not most of your runs need to be at a Zone 2 heart rate. It seems dumb at first and a pain in the ass, but that’s the best way to improve time, speed, and miles per week.

Bad form probs

Any suggestions on how to improve form?

I've watched a lot of videos and watch Paul Chelimo's form on his videos. Tried to emulate the best ones

The ones to pay attention imo is feet landing under the hips, not over the body and a 'neutral' head position. A visual cue that I do is picture a string attached to your head and it's pulled upward. This makes you run tall and feeling supported, at the same time be free and not tense as you feel like suspended

Other stuff like foot strike, arms sway those are preference and you will pick it up yourself through running more

PT

10k is light work now, i just need to lose weight so it doesnt feel like a waste of time at my pace

8.15 miles today at 7’56” pace

154 BPM

Yeah once you really do them consistently, 10ks are a cakewalk

Good stuff!

thank you sir

What’s your current pace?

my most recent 10k was 7:45 completed in 1:17:11

i push myself more for 5k at 6:24 in 32:06

Nice!

finally got back into running. still having issues with my foot after a run, but it's not bad once i do more calf stretches

Circling back on this. Tbh I have to make a big effort to slow down for zone 3. I’d probably need to speed walk for 2
