Kit: Compression socks“My calves get quite tight, so if you’re doing a lot of miles they can help.” According to a 2007 study in the Journal of Sports Sciences, wearing the socks during a 10K road run appeared to reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness
Stay off road“Pavement damages joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The more you can run on grass, woodchips or dirt, the better off you are. My athletes run 90 percent of their workouts on soft surfaces.”
Finally, a 2012 study examining the drinking behaviors of elite male marathoners found that Haile Gebreselassie lost a whopping 9.8 percent of his bodyweight during the 2009 Dubai Marathon—and still won, in 2:05:29.
For each performance level the speed decrease associated with temperature increase and decrease is presented in supplementary data (Table S3).For example the optimal temperature at which women's P1 maximal running speed was attained was 9.9°C, and an increase of 1°C from this optimal temperature will result in a speed loss of 0.03%. The optimal temperatures to run at maximal speed for men and women, varied from 3.8°C to 9.9°C according to each level of performance (Table S3).Warmer air temperatures were associated with higher percentages of runners' withdrawal during a race (Figure 4). After testing linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic fits, the quadratic equation was the best fit (r2 = 0.36; p<0.0001) for modelling the percentage of runners withdrawals associated with air temperature
