#111: Cutting through the noise - Garmin race predictors, weekly mileage and Strava envy

from The Running Rules Podcast · host Alan Ladd

This week's episode was a fun one discussing lots of things we as runners can get caught up worrying about and why sometimes the best thing is to ignore the noise.I talk about useless benchmarks provided by your watch, why there is so much more to training than weekly mileage and why comparing yourself to others (or even a former you) can be counterproductive.However, there is a difference between comparison and inspiration and there are ways to turn some of these things to your advantage and push yourself on.If you want to improve in your next race and want personalised help in training, nutrition and mindset designed to get you faster, further and stronger straight away, message me at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/therunningrules⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or see ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.therunningrules.com/coaching
