My fastest half marathon was when i massively carb-loaded beforehand and took gels during the race. If i don't fuel myself i under-perform and feel faint afterwards. Which shows that we are all different. Running has taught me to listen to my body.

During Ramadan I usually only run 4-8 miles a day right before I break my fast on the afternoon. No long runs at all but it's like a reset month for me because it's the same pace all month long and no intervals or trail runs . The only thing that sucks is I cannot race an ultra that month or weeks after

Strong disagree re: fasted runs. Even eating something small, it takes me 2-3+ hours before i'm able to run more than a couple of minutes without developing a stitch and feeling my food sloshing around. I think people are wildly different in this aspect, and there's no right or wrong answer (with the exception of something like marathon+ distance)

Some people eat close to running because you can get used to having to digest food while in motion. It helps people that want to do long distance events

Great tips… however sports physio told me science shows when re-habbing an injury the brain needs to feel this pain to a level of 1-3 out of 10 any more then it’s a negative and not productive but in the 1-3 is optimal then the 3 will become 2 and then 1 and hopefully eventually zero. I thought this was odd so went 2nd opinion and seems he was right. Body can also adapt to run on fats just need to cross it over so fasted running to a degree is fine and beneficial.
@runningchannel7 ай бұрын
Oh that's interesting!
@karlbratby43497 ай бұрын
@@runningchannel The science of re habbing is fascinating, obviously rest is best for some types of injuries but the majority a level of exercise to a prescribed pain level and to continue at that pain level until notice pain drops then increase exercise effort to same pain level. so if a 3/10 drops to a 2/10 after a period of time then increase load to get back to 3. Although exercise might not be the sport or activity that caused the condition. eg a patella tendinopathy. if casued by basketball not playing a full court press session LOL.
