I have a 14 miler on Sunday after a 7 miler on Saturday. (I hope my feet hang in there)

I think for getting further on to the mid and for foot it to "lean into it a bit" and really concentrate on not over-reaching forward with your stride. also i think of my legs like "springs" that seemes to help me with the feeling (especially uphill).
