Let's talk about overtraining, a common pitfall for many runners, especially ultra runners.
Remember, our bodies need time to recover and rebuild. So, listen to your body, prioritise rest days, and avoid burnout. 🏆

What Crappy Runs Mean: You’re a Runner.
Being a runner means coming to terms with the fact that sometimes, no matter how fit or in shape or strong you are, some days are just hard.
#peakendurancecoachingaustralia

When you run in hot weather, your body has to work harder to cool itself off. It does this by directing more blood flow toward the surface of your skin to help dissipate heat. This results in an increased heart rate, which makes it feel ahrder.

Do I need rest days?
Yes! You NEED rest days. Ignoring this essential piece of training is a recipe for disaster, and will most likely lead to sub-par performance, or worse, injury.

Tired Legs? It is safe to push through some mild leg fatigue during a run, just not pain! Experiencing fatigue during a training run will prepare you for how you’ll feel in the later stages of a race.

Are you always motivated to brush your teeth? No, you just do it.
Are you always motivated to go to work? No, you just go.
The same goes for running.
Stop searching for motivation. Just get up and go.

How long should the long run be? It should be 90 mins minimum. Specifically, it may take up to about 30% of your weekly mileage. No more than 50-60k is necessary for any race 100k or over. Longer than this and the recovery required takes away from your training.

Nutrition matters: As runners, our bodies require a balanced & nourishing diet to perform at their best. Fuelling with foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, & whole grains provides the energy & essential nutrients needed for optimal performance and recovery.

Hey trail runners! if you're ready to take your trail running to new heights, give poles a try on steep, rocky terrain. Experience the benefits of stability, reduced impact, upper body engagement and increased efficiency. 🏔️🌟

Plyometric exercises are dynamic & explosive movements designed to increase speed and power. They can improve muscle strength, elasticity, & neural control. They can increase your number of fast-twitch muscle fibres, which help you power up hills with more ease.

Warming up before a run might seem like an unnecessary step when you're short on time. But the benefits of a proper warm-up are undeniable. It prepares your body for the coming workout, increases body temperature, improves flexibility, and can help reduce the risk of injury.

Incorporate these high-intensity moves into your workouts and experience a whole new level of strength and agility. Make sure you introduce plyometrics carefully: a little goes a long way!
