It's a tough one to actually accomplish! And nice job on the new p.r..<br /><br />Great info about the brain protecting the heart. It really makes sense, especially the part about you saying about the 2nd sub-3 was much easier than the 1st. Oh-so-true.<br /><br />Now you just gotta get yourself a sub-34 so you can keep up with me.saschasdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920379008380900505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379797745883386200.post-738504560460131862010-10-25T17:08:04.770-07:002010-10-25T17:08:04.770-07:00Same as most experts, Brian - that drills and fast...Same as most experts, Brian - that drills and faster running (faster than speed work in 5ks etc) are important to make your running economy more efficient. Then you can go faster for the same energy cost. I'd really recommend the book as it's much more detailed and scientific than anything else I've seen. <br /><br />Only bit that shows outdated research is the stretching section - static stretches that he suggests do increase flexibility, but doing them before a run has (I believe, but can't cite a source) been shown to increase the chance of injury - dynamic stretches are generally favoured, but he doesn't mention them.sharmanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079178597179728898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379797745883386200.post-37610151974440248692010-10-25T16:54:48.854-07:002010-10-25T16:54:48.854-07:00what does Noakes have to say about improving perfo...what does Noakes have to say about improving performance by increasing running economy (stride efficiency)?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852200524173171979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379797745883386200.post-24653954134501997862010-10-24T20:19:15.872-07:002010-10-24T20:19:15.872-07:00Thanks for taking part in the race.
