Good luck on Wednesday!

So as Billy mentions IF is a challenge during high training periods. From what I’ve read, IF is minimally effective and thus it’s just one tool I use on occasion. Imo you can improve insulin sensitivity with using IF though that is not currently supported with scientific studies yet. I only use...

Sorry for the late response, for some reason I didn’t get an email alert. I agree with all the above. I’ve only run a 50k and it wasn’t any harder than a marathon in my opinion. The pace is really comfortable for the majority and the last 10k is where the work starts.

Interesting break down! And makes sense considering speed works effects the mitochondria. I guess it always comes back to goals and what you’re training for. I also see why hansons does that micro amount of speed work up front too.

I winder if the days above 0 result in a faster climb in fitness the following week when the intensity is reapplied. Obviously it’s not the most accurate gauge, but I usually see my worse VO2Max results on my hardest days of the day after... but I see my biggest jumps on my rest periods and down...

In my humble opinion I’d say hip flexibility over hamstring flexibility. Kipchoge can’t even touch his toes lol. Usually a strained hamstring is due to compensation not tightness. However I’d say the proprioception on those hip stretches are everything. I’d YouTube the proper form, that is...

Heal up Billy! I‘M confident that had you been healthy the mile TT probably would have been even faster 💪🏻

I would practice taking on water, personally I grab a cup at every stop. Also, I wouldn’t just drink Gatorade as I think you’ll end up short on carbs/calories and if you don’t take on water it’ll likely upset your stomach too. Late in races I’ll sometimes switch to Gatorade if I can’t stomach...

A lack of fluids with gels can lead to nausea and stomach cramps too. Also, as your body is stressed simple sugar can upset your stomach as well. I think either using different types of carbs, Gatorade, or a hydrogel Like Maurten are all possible solutions... though I’m no expert, I’ve had my...

Sorry to hear about the SI joint :(

Really interesting! What are your takeaways?

Good luck Billy!! And good luck everyone else running tomorrow!! Tomorrow is setting up to be more swampy than today, but with proper pacing it can be conquered!! Enjoy the victory lap 😆

In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to be aggressive in the heat. Heat accumulates and there’s no way reduce the heat during your race. Anything you can do to reduce the heat early, like slower paces will greatly help. I can also speak from experience, you aren’t likely to fight through the...

Too bad the race wasn’t this past Sunday.... it would have been unicorn weather for sure. Crossing my fingers for some cooler weather still!

Great week of training💪🏻

I only use IF and low carb as a tool, but not as an everyday option for high volume marathon running. The only proven benefits that I’ve seen, is the improvement in insulin sensitivity and sleep. There are theories for other benefits, but they haven’t been proven in humans yet. When I’m running...

Well done!!

I’d offer advice, but you know what I wore for Fargo lol.... and that was 40’s
