How to Be Great at the Little Things While Training

[@JamesBond-ub6ld]

Nick is like a second coach for us all, sharing his golden experiences, to us, that we achieve more and more, and not to do anything wrong. Thank you Nick!

Nick, you said jokingly you didn’t have the patience to be a good coach, but this interview tells a different story. Your advice to this young man was excellent! Keep up the great mentoring of this next generation of runners!

the benefit of power naps, even if I do not feel tired, after any workout, a 20-30 min nap just does wonders.

Exactly, waking up to an alarm clock is such a bad feeling that I don’t recover from it the whole day

[@zugzug733]

Anybody can put in the miles and hard workouts, but the guys who do the little things separate themselves from the rest

What kind of strenght training should you do? Should you focus on core or rather legs, for example plyometrics or deadlift?

[@Mr._Reborn]

Depends on what events you do

@@s1mon8ratt96 I would focus on core and plyos then, but you should still do the other stuff

The thing about sleep is no matter how early I go to bed I wake up at the same time. But I think I get enough sleep which is 8-10 hours

I need to learn more about the functional training as a 40 year old office worker who runs before work so I need an alarm and take care of my kids

[@ericschill842]

Me a teenager: 13 hours of sleep and still tired.

[@doml3066]

Thats over sleeping

[@math_the_why_behind]

It also can be genetic. My mom and I need 10 hours of sleep unlike most people who need 8.

[@ericschill842]

@@doml3066 this doesn’t happen often, just when I go to bed too late

Wise use of caffeine. Typical North American has a cup of joe when they wake up, one on the way to work, another at first break, one at lunch and so on all day. no wonder they are addicted and get that caffeine crash. I only have mine before a hard workout or race, make that boost count. Easy or rest days, no caffeine, flush it out of the system so you do not build a tolerance.

[@drew6927]

Coffee? What about run gum?

[@stevespyder]

@@drew6927 whether it is run gum, coffee, energy drinks or just caffeine pills, only use it when you really need it, or your body will build up a tolerance, just like any stimulant drug. if you only use it when it really counts, that boost is much more effective.
