When running goes down: revive the dead track!

Hello, fellow runner! Today's question of interest is about getting close to experience cap in our field. Imagine you are at the maximum of your abilities -- you run perfectly from your point of view. No progress and everything you get in return from all your attempts is frustration and pain. Newbies frequently come to such a situation -- adding kilometers and minutes to their daily running activities and receiving less then they are willing to get. It's not a problem of human powers, it's a common problem of overpumped expectations. So grab your will and do nothing but train, but differently, if you please. Just assume that there is no experience cap in running -- you should experiment, involve your imagination, reed blogs like this and create new routine for your fun. But remember that we discuss only running as a hobby -- not professional sport! My advices can ruin your career as a professional runner -- mind this )

First trouble: you are getting low on power faster then you expect and loose speed.

How to solve: just relax -- ease your routine. Run, say, non every day, bun every other day, add walk breaks or something like this -- shorten your training for some time -- take a break an rest a little -- make your running routine more comfortable and life will turn it's brighter side to you. When in actually happen, just don't miss a moment -- empower your training -- run better and faster!

Second trouble: you just can't run faster.

You should add some speed exercises in your training routine. Seped-ups, slow-downs and intervals. Try uphill running in some cases it can let you focus on your other potential powers. Add long run to your timetable -- for the weekend, sunday morning, for example -- run more then you regular do -- focus on distance, not speed. So, working in this side areas will improve your speed and you will notice the effect after all.

Third trouble: you are over exhausted during your long runs.

Try to slow down your pace, add more kilometers to your training at lower rate -- don't try to eat great pie, take it by slices.
