How do you avoid fading on the late hills? (Read 115 times)

    Keep the serious stuff comding.

     

    Pretty please.

    Good times never seemed so good.

      ... I try to keep my line of site about 20ft in front of me, ...

       

      ... the tendency we have to lean back and put on the breaks.  ...

      Puleeze!

       

      More seriously,

      The up--...; this, of course, means shortening my stride. ...

       

      The down--...  Also, this forward leaning downhill posture can help to minimize eccentric muscle contraction...which I include mostly to give the appearance that I know something of what I am writing about, but which I also believe is what causes so many people trouble at Boston (in specific) and after downhills (in general).

      and shortening your stride on the *downhill* also helps enormously in reducing the quads' eccentric work load. Far more damage is done when muscles are working eccentrically.

       

      And yes, this is why anyone who has run the first half of Boston too fast (which is most people who've run Boston) has discovered at mile 21, on the big downhill, that surprise, their quads don't work anymore.

        You should go get the clap just so you can give it to her. --beef

          It takes brass balls to run downhill!

          PRs are for closers.

           

          Do you have confidence, and are you fearless?

            at her 50th wedding anniversary, my brother asked my grandmother, what was the secret to such a long marriage.

             

            she said, we didn't get a divorce.

              Awesome.  Sometimes it really is that simple.

                I don't want a long marriage to the downhills; I want a good one.

                  I think the last time you told this story I had an easier time seeing how it related to the subject at hand.

                   

                  Or do you just like telling it in random threads? In which case, cool story.

                    I wonder how many PRs I can run if I have Alec Baldwin yelling at me during the whole race.

                    There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.

                      Marriages are (ideally) long, they have ups and downs...? So the moral is, for running hills effectively, don't DNF?

                        I assumed it had something to do with homophones.

                          no. my grandmother was married to a man.

                            Eventually, all married people start to sound alike.

                            I put it under there.

                              when did i tell it before? sad to think that firstly i am repeating myself and secondly i am not able to find when i said it before.

                               

                              somebody send up the NADSIGNAL -- he can find anything.
