Video Review - 110% Compression Gear

Check out these compression leggings from 110% Play Harder!  I used them to help recover from a calf injury and also for my longer runs before running the Rocky Raccoon 50, and they definitely helped.

Not only do they have pockets for the included cold/heat packs, but they look cool as well.  Do you want to be rockin' on the podium in 110% knickers or a pair of these?

Jane knew she made a mistake when she bought her leggings from the Tron Factory Outlet.

You can wear them on the podium to the plane, even around the house.  Just tell your kids you've "gone pro."  They'll know what you mean.

The Easiest Way to Keep Getting Faster

Have a few "indicator" tests spread out over the week where you measure speed over the same exact distance (uphill climbs are good for this).  Once you can't beat your last time, any more work you do is not helpful.  Go very easy or don't train at all until you're more rested and feel like you're ready to attack and beat the challenge again.   Plan your mileage and easy/hard workouts around that schedule and you'll always improve.

On Speedwork

You can't get faster unless you train harder.

You can't train harder unless you "create space" to do so.

You can't create space unless you rest.

To go harder, go easier until it's time to do your speedwork.  You get better quality out of it.

Join in for the fun as we turn ultra-running protocol on it's head!  I complete the world famous Rocky Raccoon 50 mile trail race in less than 10 hours, finishing in the top 13%, with my longest training run being only 16 miles.

How did I do it?  Speedwork!  Tune in to the podcast to learn the techniques I used to break my old PR by 1.5 hours with far less time on my feet.

To add fuel to the fire, I also have an interview with last year's 100 mile race champion, Ian Sharman.  He set the course record by running 100 miles at a 7:48 min/mile pace!  And what did he say was the secret?  Speedwork!

And don't forget, I can make you faster, too!  I now coach with D3 Multisport!  So send me an email at Zentriathlon at gmail.com and let's get started.
