Ep. 318 - The Fastest Way To Sabotage Your Training


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things…reading the articles, trying the plans, tweaking your training and yet somehow your progress feels stalled?

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common ways runners unknowingly sabotage their training especially in the age of social media and endless online advice.

When you’re not sure what to do, it’s easy to start grabbing ideas from everywhere:
a training plan here, a workout there, a tip from someone in a Facebook group…

Before long you’re trying seven different approaches at once and wondering why nothing seems to be working.

In this episode, I’m sharing a message from a coaching client that perfectly illustrates this trap and why constantly changing plans, piling on more training, or chasing quick reassurance can actually derail your progress.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why doing more training often makes things worse
  • The hidden downside of following too many plans at once
  • Why most runners abandon a strategy before it ever has time to work
  • How reflection and patience are the real keys to long-term progress

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your training is a little chaotic lately… this episode will help you take a step back and get refocused.
