It takes 10 days to realize the benefits of a workout. Every new participant is told the same thing. It takes TEN Days before we start feeling better in the workout. 10 days is the magic number.
Its also works for race planning. There is no workout we can do 10 days before a race to improve our performance. All we can do is keep moving, keeps the efforts easy and medium, and get more rest (better sleep).
Doing a hard workout less than 10 days before a major race will only take away from the race effort.
Thousands of people will run hard down Peachtree Road this weekend in preparation of the 4th of July Peachtree Road Race. A hard run after Wednesday, June 24th will make them slower at the Peachtree Road Race.
