If you’ve got a spring race coming up, it’s time to gear up! But how do you do it safely and how do you stay consistent with training after time off? 🤔 . ✅ PROGRESS SAFELY: Ease back in. You might have the urge to start an aggressive training plan after time off. But what is most sustainable long-term? Aggressive plans are not sustainable. Jumping from no miles to running 5 miles every day can lead to injury or burnout. Your first month back should look too easy! . ✅ TIME-BASED INSTEAD OF MILEAGE-BASED: Most of your miles coming back should be EASY! Running for time will keep you accountable to your easy pace because no matter how fast or slow you go, you need to run for “x” amount of time. Better to run slow! Run/walks are helpful as well, depending on how much time you took off . ✅ USE EASY MILES TO MULTITASK: Focus on self-development through audiobooks or podcasts, call or run with a friend for social time, etc. Try to focus on the good that will come out of your runs instead of thinking of all the other things you could be doing . ✅ RUN A NEW ROUTE: Running new routes can be a huge motivator! Seeing new things and being surprised by the route can make the miles fly by . What are your tips for staying consistent after time off? Let us know in the comments! 👇 .
