50. Training Cycles Running | Periodization in 2021 with Dr. Duane Scotti

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with all the types of training out there?  There are long runs, tempo miles, track intervals, hill repeats, and strength training!   There is a way to train without running 20 hours a week to try and fit them all in so you don't have to quit your day job! In this episode, I cover how you can "periodize" your training and how you can plan out your running for 2021 for running wins and staying healthy along the way!   Every elite runner out there uses periodization to their advantage so why shouldn't we as recreational runners? We will be discussing the very important and often overlooked principle of periodization or the training cycles of running. 2 previous blogs referred to in this episode: What 2020 Has Taught me: 6 Lessons Learned https://sparkyourtraining.com/what-2020-has-taught-me/ How Fast Should I Run I 3 Types of Runs https://sparkyourtraining.com/types-of-runs/ Are you a dedicated runner trying to get out of the injury cycle or a frustrated runner looking to get faster?     Get stronger, run faster, and become a lifelong injury free runner with our 16 week 1-on-1 Healthy Runner Coaching Program.  Get the support, structure, and accountability from experts in the health and running industry.  Personalized easy to follow plans tailored to your unique needs and busy life.   If you're interested in learning more, we've got a behind the scenes video tour of our coaching program and hear from many of our athletes who were struggling with the same sticking points that you are.  Just head to: https://learn.sparkhealthyrunner.com/coaching   Connect with Dr. Duane:   Instagram - @sparkhealthyrunner Join Our Healthy Runner Facebook Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel [email protected] www.sparkhealthyrunner.com   Listen & Subscribe:   Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Play iHeartRadio Amazon Music Website
