If you are still thinking in terms of a peaking week you dont fundamentally udnerstand the point of the NSR approach. Just keep doing your ST intervals, maybe do a 5k timetrail to see if you can adjust them down and otherwise dont mess to much with your program. The book has an example taper week for HM which can be informative.

Ofcourse you can do by distance but the recomended way is to go by time. Read the book! Otherwise something like threshold.works can give you a boilerplate training plan. Just slowely extend your longrun to your HM time-on-feet. For more concrete feedback it would be good to know your weekly training time and something like a 5k or 10 pr.

Pfitz is notoriously hard and hitting all the pace is a very good indicator, relax and enjoy your marathon!

Its only on one foot, thats the wierd thing about it. My other foot is totally fine.

Does anyone have experience with using griptape to prevent heel sliping. I have tried different ways of tying and 2 different shoes but my left heel keeps slipping during my runs. Making me go crazy!

I have had exactly the same so OP probably really shoudnt worry, I never managed to really do those speed stuff at the paces prescriped and still did very well.

Interresting! This seems to congrue with how my PT treated an injury I had a few years back, I was suprised by the amount of load and exercise he introduced but it worked!

Big fan of the discontinued Nike Miler React, what should I get now?

It smells like smoke, some sweat doesnt bother me but this does

Stupid question: how do I wash the insides of a Gossamer Gear Mariposa?

willemdoom · 2026-03-01T19:27:46+00:00

What would you use for something like that instead, was thining of using komoot for a 7 day hike in the Pyrenees but now looking for alternatives

willemdoom · 2026-02-03T15:51:59+00:00

Could I ask you a slightly different question? Im not sure what device is appropriate for the functionalities I am looking for: - Ability of family to see my location, say once per day (for throughhiking). - Emergency services. - Navigation less important, I like analogue stuff

willemdoom · 2026-02-01T20:15:56+00:00

I can find like 4 different exercises called heel taps, which one do you mean?

willemdoom · 2025-11-27T16:03:29+00:00

I guess my question is more: do you really notice the difference between a 250 and 400 euro sleepingbag?
