Why your running isn’t improving (and it’s not fitness)

from Peak Endurance · host Isobel Ross

Most runners think they need more mileage, more speed work, or more motivation to improve.Most of the time that isn’t the problem.In this episode we talk about the habits that actually keep runners stuck.Comparing yourself to people on Strava without knowing their context.Panicking after one bad run.Winging your training instead of following a plan.Expecting every session to feel good.Chasing motivation instead of building discipline.We also break down the rule of thirds.Why a third of your runs will feel great, a third will feel average, and a third will feel terrible.And why that is exactly what should be happening if your training is working.If you want to level up your running, this is the stuff that matters.If you want structured training instead of guessing, you can apply for coaching at Peak Endurance.
