SYMPTOMS - The sudden and irrational desire to "accumulate" extra kilometers, "long" repeated quality and other jobs during the period of discharge, especially in the first phase, when the body you feel prepared for peak performance.

" But while all that extra last-minute study may have you helped to pass an exam or a query, an additional training phase will only exhaust you feel exhausted in the days before the race.
Solution - "Thinking rationally help - support Hays -. You must realize that, at this stage of preparation, the miles go further and more intensive training is only counterproductive to your performance. Research shows that who reduced their training adequately achieved better results than those who train constantly until race day. To convince you that you have done all the work necessary to run a good marathon, related to your training diary and check the miles, the "long, intense workouts you have done for many weeks.

Case - Once you reach the peak in training, it becomes increasingly difficult to have confidence in their ability to maintain the preset speed. Many runners are obsessed with reaching the finish in 5 or 10 minutes of delays. Close race in 4:10 'instead of 4:00' would turn the marathon in failure.
Solution - Enter a few miles at marathon pace in a race that carried out during the exhaust (say 3 to 5 km at the speed of the marathon in a couple of races 12 kilometers) to consolidate the confi dence in your ability to be able to maintain the pace of the race. You also set a target lap alternative hypothesis to slow down to 5 or 10 minutes if the weather or your body to play against you on the day of the race.

"During the unloading phase, the reconstruction of tissues at the microscopic level causes muscle contractions and cramps sometimes, because the body goes through a phase of adaptation," says Dr. Smurawa. Also, when there is less and there are concerns of most of the race, the daily pain that would normally be ignored s'ingigantiscono.

Solution: Make sure that you are not the only one to find this feeling: "The simple fact of knowing that it is normal feel this way during the discharge can contribute to rebound, "said Robert Udewitz, a sports psychologist and director of Behavior Therapy in New York.

Cause - "Generally the race contrasts the feelings of anxiety and depression - says Hays - therefore running less, the feelings negative tend to resurface and improve. "
Solution - Adopt a short-term approach. "You only get to Sunday," says the Hays. Practice of cross training workout with low intensity, low impact, such as stroke in the water, to generate positive sensations usually result from the race. Then exploit this period of recovery to focus on other aspects of life that make you happy, like listening to music, cooking and spending time with family and friends.

Solution - Be aware that water and the extra weight will come in handy during the marathon.
