After that, my breathing changes and becomes significantly easier and my stride loosens up and gets longer. It's like my body forgets what it's like NOT to be running and everything becomes quite natural and unforced. <BR/><BR/>After 8 miles, I feel less limited my muscles and oxygen and more by food and water supplies. I don't know how much is mental vs. physical at that point but feels like a very real threshold for me.Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14431743744291366682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685638006754853700.post-16681126941679482922007-02-08T09:44:00.000-05:002007-02-08T09:44:00.000-05:00That was a shameless plug...awesome.

If I recall coreectly, that was the last time I entered a pool to actually swim. Imagine my shock when I was winded after 50 m yesterday. Great advice! There nothing like quoting NEMO.

It would feel like I was about to die if I pushed any harder, but I did, and it was easy going from there. If I recall correctly, it was around the 500m mark at first. In the beginning of the season it was painful to push through this point, but eased as the season progressed.Ninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17785023436092957518noreply@blogger.com
