#224 - What I Learned from Training for a 10k Race
On the Sunday just before the release of this podcast, I ran a 10k running race.
I have never liked running, or been very good at it, but I learned a lot through training for this race, and to my surprise I ended up actually quite enjoying it.
The race went well - I got a PB by 2 mins and 48 seconds on my one previous 10k event - and it has now inspired me to sign up for my first ever duathlon. So much more to learn and improve on in training for that!
In this episode I wanted to share the valuable tips and lessons I picked up from trying to get better at running, including:
the benefits (to injury prevention, speed, increased motivation, and enjoyment of sessions) of having a good pair of running shoes
how to warm up for a run
tips on posture and technique to increase speed and reduce risk of injury
the best cadence to run at
the surprising amount of difference your arms can make to your running speed
different types of running sessions to improve speed and fitness
some of the best strength training exercises to help you run better
how to fuel your body for regular exercise
how to recover well
If you find it helpful, please share, rate or review the podcast to help me reach more people - I really appreciate it.
Here is the link to the book mentioned in the episode:
The Art of Running Faster
The YouTube channels I mentioned that are worth checking out are GTN, Ben Parkes, and the Running Channel.
And finally, here is the link to find out how I can help you reach your goals in 2025:
