The Runners Low

I was watching this video on Geoff Roes

(copy and past that cuz I don't know how to link to a site)

He talked about how a successful race isn't about managing your high performance parts of the race where you are on your 'runners high', but rather to train in such a manner where you are mindful about the few hours in a race where you may be experiencing your 'runners low'. Doing this he says will have a greater impact on the overall success on your race.

Even though I totally understand what he means by the runners low, I hadn't ever put much thought about the low. Interesting thought to ponder.
