He put in mega miles and probably trained harder than anyone in his day and harder than most runners do<BR/>today..<BR/><BR/>Going into the European Championships (he was running the 10k) Zatopek suffered a case of food poisoning that left him flat on his back in the hospital.. They thought he would miss the championships.. He was left in such a weakened state that he couldn't eat, etc.. Finally, he came around and a few days before the race, he started to feel better.. While he was in the hospital for a week, he was unable to run. Long story short, he ended up setting a world record in the 10k..<BR/><BR/>Time off might be the best remedy.. You've put in the hard work and consistency, you've got a lot of stored up fitness..<BR/><BR/>You'll do fine in the 508.. Good luck and we'll be watching..Eric Thrasher Troili..https://www.blogger.com/profile/03201307772198151080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199089011138395175.post-51959660488122587552008-09-29T17:22:00.000-07:002008-09-29T17:22:00.000-07:00Oh no...sorry to read about this!
