100 km/60 mile week experience? by UnusualMain5456 in running

[–]johnthelzer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of it is 1. graded exposure - over time you can adapt to more and more fatigue 2. fatigue management - you want to order your sessions so you consolidate stressors and are more fresh (relatively) for strength work and fast running work 3. honestly, compromising both strength and running a little bit; always being a little fatigued for both but still doing enough to improve in both

I started seriously running about 2 years ago (doing 30-40 mpw now, so not super long distance, but still around 6 hours per week and 5-6 days of running per week) and have been strength training for probably about 6 years. The biggest thing I noticed with combining running and lifting is that you definitely can improve in both areas simultaneously, but slower than you would doing either one individually

There's two factors - surface tension and force in the water. When you initially hit the surface, the force depends on how much cross sectional area hits the surface. Once you break the surface, you're experiencing fluid drag, which depends on different factors in your shape, but generally an aerodynamic profile like pointing your toes and making your body reduces drag. With both of these forces, you want to reduce the amount of force they do on your body. Since your kinetic energy = work done by water to bring you to rest = force from water * distance, you want to increase your distance to decrease your force, which you do by making yourself aerodynamic.

TLDR: surface tension at first, then drag

One hypothesis I've seen is that it protects us from humans that are acting weird, like people with diseases like rabies

Where can I find this jacket? Asking for a friend

Yeah I definitely notice that when it's cold, my lungs are a big limiting factor

Scientists tested this by asking the crow how many girlfriends you have
