It’s that time of year again when most runners are starting the real meat of their training plan.
The summer has started, you’ve had your few weeks of building back into a plan, and now the real work begins.
At RunnersConnect, we work with hundreds of runners each season and one of the big benefits of that is how much data we’re able to see every year.
We’re able to see huge patterns across what type of training runners are doing when they start training for their race, what types of training and plans they’ve done in the past, and of course what’s worked and what hasn’t.
In today’s episode we go in-depth on 4 of the biggest issues we see when looking at the data and give you some helpful tips on how to make sure you don’t succumb to the same mistakes.
