In this article by Gabe Joyes, a seasoned ultrarunner and coach, he engages with reader questions about various aspects of running including hill training, race nerves, and fueling strategies. He highlights that instead of adhering to a 'normal' running pace, athletes should embrace a wide range of terrains and intensities for a more enriching running experience. His approach includes using the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) method to monitor effort, particularly when tackling hills, ensuring that runners can sustain their exertion levels effectively without overexerting themselves.
Gabe Joyes emphasizes that having a 'normal' running pace is misleading, advocating instead for a diverse training approach to build resilience and enjoyment.
