MAIN TOPIC: Running by Feel is Not Running by Effort
Main Topic:
Running by effort does not equal running by feel
Discussion about the difference between how you feel (and outcome) and how much you exert (an input)
The common questions:
- LR: feels so easy for 1 hour, then by 2 hours feels really hard…
- Steady: feels comfortable but can’t hold it for an hour
- Races: felt so good, was running so easy, until ___
In general:
- Running by feel is reactionary,
- Running by effort is proactive, responsive to conditions and prerequisite circumstances
- Why? Because you control the input–how much you are exerting–before you feel one way or another (think: early run vs. late run)
How do I do it differently–measure effort?
