Can I be proactive with this or it does no good to try to increase salt intake prior to a run?<br />how do we know we are ok as far as sodium level goes...Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784257254057007640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-2180406522373735252011-08-12T17:05:50.361-07:002011-08-12T17:05:50.361-07:00Want to know why when you train for a marathon you...Want to know why when you train for a marathon you do your long runs at a pace much slower than marathon pace? <br /><br />yes and also how do we know that on race day we will be able to run faster than we did for the LR and for the whole raceCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784257254057007640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-88716331397506399212011-08-12T12:33:07.201-07:002011-08-12T12:33:07.201-07:00I've done lactate testing so my run numbers ar...I've done lactate testing so my run numbers are Zones (pace/km) only NOT heart rate.

I will say a few things: for running i have never needed a test to tell me what pace to run. (I can feel if I'm running to hard or not hard enough, but I have been running hard for over 25 years and coaching for 15years). Heart Rate Monitors I find are a wast of time for running. I might well have 2 Ironmen behind me, but I have really never done any cycle training. But I would say it could help on those long rides.<br /><br />The other thing is yes it is time you got your focus on running a couple of short races and notching up a couple of fast PR's.<br /><br />Good Luckcoach dionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464619260070895703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-88823601561465551752011-08-10T20:17:55.152-07:002011-08-10T20:17:55.152-07:00Can I improve my VO2? is it true that I can only i...Can I improve my VO2? is it true that I can only improve my speed for 7 years (after initiating running) and after that, I will maintain for awhile and then decline in speed? is there a way to determine the minimum mileage I should be running every week in order to increase speed and endurance when NOT training for a marathon?Elizathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821855084246841976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-24283056023615217262011-08-10T20:05:58.872-07:002011-08-10T20:05:58.872-07:00Someone already asked my question.
