You pick up a niggle. You race harder than planned.And the plan just carries on like nothing happened.That’s the problem.In this video, I explain why a good running plan isn’t just a list of workouts… it’s a decision-making system. I’ll show you what your training plan actually needs to do if you want to improve without getting cooked, injured, or stuck in that horrible grey area where every run feels harder than it should.We’ll cover:Why workouts are less important than decisions Why missed sessions should not always be “made up” How race priority changes the plan Why consistency beats perfection How MaxMile is being built to give runners smarter, more responsive coachingRight, that's us done. If that was useful… share it. Stick it in your club WhatsApp, send it to that mate who's always getting injured three weeks before race day. You know the one ;)If you want to go deeper on any of this, Nick puts out videos every week on YouTube, and the entire team of coaches are sharing helpful tips on their instagram channels... links below.
