Nazzer, I am definately in that vein of thought in which I know my body needs TLC and will adjust, I hope to keep up with all the TLC like you said. It does make me feel emotionally connected to the undertaking to have twinges to take care of, making it this investment of a bit of pain, I just dont want all out breakdown!<br />Kenley, yes, I will Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849682281180104077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798077028554616903.post-38886001708117545322010-08-05T00:44:12.319-07:002010-08-05T00:44:12.319-07:00In response to the questions; how do they do it, a...In response to the questions; how do they do it, and how do their bodies not break down...<br /><br />You just get used to it really. You slowly get your body used to the punishment. And you give your body lots of fuel to replenish itself with and you're set.

What you are going through is real indeed Chad. I wish you the best in your running endeavors. 30KM. Wow. Well, have fun this weekend. Might I ask you a question. What is the hardest challenge? A - Running the distance or B - Finding the time, since you mentioned about time being retarded and all. lol.

Yes, after I posted this the info I was recalling all I have read over the last while and came to me was the staggered increase like you explained. <br />I dont like pulling back at all though! Against my nature! I perhaps will do that next week, as you are doing!Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849682281180104077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798077028554616903.post-15316494996702103442010-08-04T15:34:46.590-07:002010-08-04T15:34:46.590-07:00My training regimen has me doing those long runs a...My training regimen has me doing those long runs and then doing step back weeks (I did 18 miles last week and am doing 20 this week and 16 next week for my long runs, but then I get to step back to an 8 miler). <br /><br />Taking rest days seriously probably helps out as well.Brian Vinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221972114141282402noreply@blogger.com
