Running Tip No.7
Alright, it's time to channel your inner Rocky! Remember how Rocky loved a good montage?
He didn’t just run laps—he went all out with chopping logs, running up snow-covered mountains, and doing sit-ups hanging from a beam in some random barn. It looked ridiculous, but hey, it worked!
Nick’s advice: Be like Rocky. Ultra marathons are no joke—they’ll take everything out of you. So mix up your training. Don’t just stick to the same old boring route; run on all kinds of terrain. Hit the trails, tackle some hills, maybe even try running on the beach if you’re feeling fancy. And don’t skip the strength training. Sure, you might not have a barn to do sit-ups in, but some good old-fashioned squats and lunges will do wonders.
Remember, it’s all about variety. Keep things interesting, and you’ll be in montage-worthy shape by race day.
Plus, it gives you a great excuse to blast some ‘Eye of the Tiger’ during your workout!
