Throwback to our third track session at the end of August! It was a real pleasure to have @hoka in attendance.

Our athletes received expert advice on footwear and experienced some of the new models in the HOKA range #TeamBRP

The BRP team will assess your running economy at different running speeds and analyse the data following your test. We then interpret the data into running terms #TeamBRP

[Birmingham Running Project @bhamrunproject]

Running Economy (RE) | How do we measure it?

After a short break, we continue our insightful running wisdom series, giving you the knowledge to improve your training.

This week our sports scientist @ol_armstrong explains how we measure running economy ⬇️

[Birmingham Running Project @bhamrunproject]

Running economy is expressed as ml/kg/min. The amount of oxygen (ml) utilised to move the body (kg) at a given speed (min). The more economical you are, the less oxygen you consume for a given running speed and the lower the value for running economy...

The 2021 Virgin Money #LondonMarathon is 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛.

Sunday 3 October 2021, exactly 889 days after it was last held in April 2019.

It's been a long wait, but we're delighted to be taking over the capital once more.

This year more than ever, #WeRunTogether

[Birmingham Running Project @bhamrunproject]

An absolute pleasure to work with you @anthonytattum. The hard work is paying off and we can't wait for the next few weeks 💪 #TeamBRP

[Anthony Tattum @anthonytattum]

I’m halfway through my 10k in 40 mins @bhamrunproject - just about managing to drop bad habits & learnt (the hard way!) how important flexibility is compared to stretching

Few early glitches messed up my program slightly, but we are back on track!

1st time pacing (sub 1:40) with @racepacing at the London Landmark Half Marathon @LLHalf. What a great event and happy to pace, brilliant effort to all those that ran today, hope you raised loads for your charity or got the time you wanted.

[Birmingham Running Project @bhamrunproject]

Yes Ant- smashing work!

[Anthony Tattum @anthonytattum]

First session with the @bhamrunproject 12 week program.

4 x 5 min segments at threshold pace.

It felt great to have an experts permission to let rip and run hard.

Caroline joined #TeamBRP following a loss of confidence in early 2021.

@anthonytattum 💪 We can't wait to get to work!

[Birmingham Running Project @bhamrunproject]

It was all systems go in the lab yesterday as #TeamBRP athlete @anthonytattum was put through his paces.

Our athletes receive a sub-max, and VO2 max test. The results are analysed and used by our coaches to design a training program specific to the athlete's running goals.
