The only leg workout I do is squats with whatever weight I can do a 3x5. I was doing 135 but my form was chit so I dropped it to 95 and make sure my knees don't go past the toes. I'll probably never...
Yeah, based on what I've heard, you're not always on the move like you would be for a marathon. People take breaks for ice baths or to eat food and stuff.
6.5 mph converts to a 9:14 pace roughly. That seems pretty fast for a beginner, but I don't know your athletic history. On most runs, you should be able to barely maintain a conversation with someone.
I've spoken to a few of my teammates who have ran 100 milers. The general consensus is you don't need to do anything longer than 30-40 miles because it will consume your entire day.
Has anyone tried Newtons before? I have a friend who's crazy fast and swears by them, but I'm not completely sold. $200 for a pair of running shoes seems quite steep.
I rotate between 3 pairs mainly to extend the life of all of them. I also have a pair I use for short races (5 miles or less). They're super light but offer minimal support.
