Very nice. <br /><br />I agree with your emphasis on preparation in relation to outcome, and think that preparation determines the quality of flow we experience. Races in which I've done well have been the result of appropriate physical training, a good plan for accurate substance intake, and thorough knowledge of the course. When these things are combined I've found that both forms of flow are experienced and each pays dividends. I think the greatest benefit of extensive preparation is that when we run in a low flow state, despite our feeling, we continue to produce positive results. <br /><br />In a recent race, a little over half way through, I was feeling sluggish and my legs had lost all of their pop. The temperature was already warm and was proceeding to uncomfortable. High flow had been experienced earlier in the day. Around sunrise I was making great time on some awesome terrain with majestic views. I was running amongst some folk who where quality runners. It was superb, but it was fleeting, and it was not to return. From this point, my preparation enabled me to operate in low flow for the remainder of the race. I ate. I drank. I supplemented. I ran when I needed to, I walked when I needed to. I pushed the pace, but not too hard. I never felt great, but I maintained consistency and finished with a great result. I had prepared, and therefore success was attainable in spite of fatigue.m. jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507969469536059467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780660902133427157.post-25539213365529107622009-05-20T17:08:08.763-07:002009-05-20T17:08:08.763-07:00Great post.

"I have come to think that capacity for low flow determines success in ultras" I agree 100%.Cassedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903493546022429763noreply@blogger.com
