This is the essential clearing out of enough free time for the mind, and the body, to go to work. Eventually we break free. And with this new consciousness and the opportunity to act on it, we discover the most important fact of all - that we are the only obstacles to our success. If you're out there hammering down the road and all is going well, don't stop. Seriously, the easiest 10 mile runs I ever have are the ones on the days I planned to run 6.
All great plans have room for obsession.
Gu Strange stuff. I have been taking one about every 5-8 miles during my long runs and during marathons for the past year. I am a true skeptic when it comes to sports nutrition products. I have tried several vitamins and felt no benefit. Power Bars are fine for a fast food meal but bother my stomach when eaten on the run.
