Despite what you may have heard on your group run, running more miles isn't going to make you a Boston qualifier.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but #RunPainFree ain't a religion; it's a science – and there is so much more to consider. 

When you're running seven days a week, you are running yourself out.

If you just had an epiphany of how your injury came on straight after you did your highest mileage week – boom! There you go, there's your proof! You need to build an objective baseline and foundation before you start chasing lofting race goals. 

Simply logging miles will only get you so far before an injury flare-up. Reassess how you're working out. Are you doing functional training? Are you training for your sport? Or are you just using your sport as the workout?
