More Dr Cucuzzella in 2013 please.
We are recording an episode with Dr. Cucuzzella AND Dr. Gangemi tomorrow night! TOPIC: What did you learn in 2012? 🙂
I have learned that running the trails has changed me for the better.
And that I would not have achieved this if it wasn’t for TRN (seriously, thank you)
1. Don’t drink so much water
2. Eat more fat
To really pay attention to what works for food before a race
And some massage techniques to keep my feet from cramping after (Holy CRAP foot cramps hurt!)
1. Metabolic Efficiency
2. Running on feel & listening to my body
1) That running doesn’t have to be THAT important in my life
2) Ultras don’t require the amount of training I thought they did
1. My body can carry me distances my mind can not phantom.
2. It’s all in your head, dear.
1. Long training runs go a whole lot easier when you have a training partner.
2. When i’m 10 miles into a run I need to eat even though I’m not hungry.
1. I need to eat and consume gels even when I feel great – this is merely my mind teasing my body.
2. When I am injured stay injured and take time to build in excercise that repairs this injury.
That running early in the morning really is a good way to start the day (who knew?)
That I can do an easy run first thing in the morning without eating breakfast.
The power of belief is everything. (I completed my first 100km 6 months after being diagnosed with cancer)
