Things that will help your running
•Sprints
•Intervals
•Long runs
•Hill repeats
•Tempo runs
•Plyometrics
•Weightlifting
•Cross training
•Increased mileage
•I’m probably forgetting something..

Will you have the time and energy for all of these? No. No one does.

That’s what training is all about.
Find some things that work for you, occasionally try new things.
Build a toolbox. Keep adapting. That will keep you improving for a long time.

Good luck 🏃🏼‍♂️

Some runners have difficulty accepting load through their quads and rebounding/releasing that energy.

You could call it dynamic weakness or poor eccentric control.

I take them through this progression to see where to start off:

@irishdevil13 @GuyDealership You said it better than I could. I’m curious about this as well.

@GuyDealership How available is the fully online experience? I’d be interested to know how many people wanted to buy fully online but the option wasn’t available for the car they wanted. Gate-keeping by dealers may skew the data

Runners should be lifting weights.

The mail benefits include improved running economy to faster race times.

It won’t make you bulky, and you’ll probably feel better too 😎

Running reveals your fragility.

Years ago an overweight friend of mine started running (v.slowly). During the second run he hurt his back, so he stopped running because it was bad for him.

Someone tries to sprint after 20years of not running fast - they pull a hamstring..."sprinting is dangerous at my age".

Another person resumes running after a decade off, within two weeks they get achilles tendonitis, so they stop running and take up rucking.

Is the problem with running? No. The problem is the body carrying 'silent' fragilities or injuries which running reveals. The overweight person with the bad back. The deconditioned individual who falls apart from the dynamic effort of sprinting. The person who rucks or cycles because they can't run - a bad knee, lack of endurance, etc

There are millions of people over 30 who can't or won't run - not because running is bad but that if you have a silent injury, a joint problem, chronic muscle strains, too much weight, stiff degraded tendons - running will mercilessly showcase them.

If you can no longer run (especially, run fast), don't dress it up as "running is bad for someone of my age, that's why I cycle, ruck, walk..." what you are really signaling is your body has degraded so much that you are avoiding an activity which tells you as much.

Parents: Be careful chasing scholarships in sport.

They are far fewer than you think.

Examples:
I was #1 in the nation and received way more partial offers than full.

As a college coach: we had conference champs on next to nothing. And all-Americans on way less than 50%

Lol some podcasts are so guilty of this

[Jonathan Ogden @jogdenUK]

Podcasts saying literally nothing for 20 minutes.

[Nick Gornick @NickGornick]

@AustinGriffin37 @barstoolchicago @EddieBarstool No that was not the typical show. Normally there’s some more X’s and O’s, talking about what they liked or didn’t like about the game. Any other post-game show is a good representation of a normal week.

Twitter be like “I must find some evidence to support my premise.”

Science be like “I must find some evidence to refute my hypothesis.”
