Yeah a 22oz'r of Arrogant bastard or a bottle of Ommengang Abbey Ale should make it a fun night!
Yah, a nice mellow buzz. Today with the opiates worn off, I can see the toe isn't anything serious. Will probably miss a few days, but should be good to try running on it this weekend or thereabouts. More rest for the my knee I guess
I think your explanation about when tweaking is important in the list makes a lot of sense, initally in a race there really is no need to tweak as your body does handle itself pretty well. Once fatigue sets in I can see how actively modifying your form can get you further, faster.
That was based on observations of elite distance runners, I think I read it in either Hutchinson or Magness. I've tried it a bit on longer runs and it works. I'm more of a stride-dominant runner, so when I start to feel fatigued at the end of a 7-8 mile run, and my form starts to slip, I've tried upping the cadence a bit, and it seems to help.
Jason, I don't have much to say about trails. Unfortunately, I live at the epicenter of the Twin Cities, so it's mostly concrete and asphalt for me. Cool to see you participating so much though. Can we expect more of this now that you're wintering in Cali?
