67 | Why I don't like run streaks.

from The Knighton Runs Podcast Hosted by Chris Knighton

You need to take time off! As competitive runners seeking personal bests, we are constantly looking for ways to improve. One easy way to get better in running that athletes often overlook is to take a significant break after their season’s goal race. Taking time off will allow your body to fully heal and benefit long-term from all your hard work. You need to schedule time off into your training calendar, just like you do for your base building phase, workout phases, taper, and race dates. Rushing too quickly back into running after a peak performance will likely result in performance stagnation, mental burnout, or injury. On this week's episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I share why taking time off after a race is as essential as running itself. --- Here are three ways to become a better runner today: 1.
