Leadville Wisdom on Endurance
- In Leadville, Colorado, a wise gentleman told Nick Bare the secret to finishing the 100-mile race is endurance.
- This advice also applies broadly to life, emphasizing enduring the process and journey.
Gradually Increase Volume and Run Aerobically
- Increase your weekly running mileage gradually, not more than 10% each week, to avoid overuse injuries.
- Run about 80% of your volume at low aerobic intensity to build aerobic capacity effectively.
Prioritize Carbs and Electrolytes for Fuel
- Control your fuel by eating balanced, carb-focused nutrition daily and fueling properly before, during, and after runs.
- Hydrate with electrolytes, not just water, to maintain proper hydration and performance.
