How important is consistency in training to your growth as a runner?

I'm not going to say it's the most important thing, but it might be!

Consistency in all aspects of your life, whether in normal times or during a worldwide pandemic, can prove to be invaluable.

Provided, of course, you don't take things to the extreme...

Amy Spegele had medical issues that prevented her from running/being active as a kid.

After surgery corrected the issues and entering adulthood, she took up running at the urging of a friend.

Turns out, she found that she has a couple of other health conditions that make running a bit more difficult for her than for many of us, but she doesn't let those hurdles keep her from getting her miles in!

Rik Zortman really is a human etch a sketch!

When Rik goes out for a run, he typically looks for an area where he can "write" words, phrases, or names with his GPS tracking.

Why?

It started as a way to honor his young son that lost his battle with cancer at 3 years old, and has just grown from there!

When it comes to fueling for a run/race, you know you have more options than just gels, right?

Look, if the pre-packaged, highly processed, and over-processed sucrose/fructose sludge works for you, then keep on keeping on!

But if you're like me, and the though of taking down a gel fires up your gag reflex, maybe it's time to try something else.

And, now, I'm not just talking about some other pre-packaged, highly processed, and over-priced gel alternative either...

Dr. Rebecca Smith is my kind of physical therapist!

She definitely believes in the value of preventing injuries, and she's also a big fan of functional strength training for runners.

But maybe my favorite thing about her? If at all possible, she isn't the type of PT to just tell an injured runner to stop running until they are pain-free!

Running is a physical sport, no doubt about it. But it's easy to overlook the role that mental strength/fitness plays in our running success as well.

Today I'm diving into mental finish lines, yes they are a thing, and how we can use them to our advantage in our training.

Two years ago, Tammy Giberson would have laughed you out of the room if you asked her to join you for a run.

But after she decided to participate in a Turkey Trot in 2018, things have changed pretty dramatically for Tammy and her relationship with our sport.

How stressed are you feeling right now?

If you're like me, this whole COVID-19 "situation" has got you feeling a bit more stressed than usual.

How to handle said stress? Go out and get some miles, right?

Maybe, but maybe not.

Remember, to your body stress is stress is stress. So when you're feeling stressed AF, adding more stress to the mix from dropping the hammer for a few miles may end up doing you more harm than good...
