One of the craziest things about running is...

Running race pace in training always feels 10x harder than it actually will during your race.

If you've got a big goal race coming up and you feel like you are barely hanging on right now, then take a sigh of relief, trust the process, and know that you can do it.

Believe in yourself.

This week's episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast is all about cumulative fatigue and why, "YES," you can run your race pace for the entire race if you've been following a good training program.

Do you have big running goals?

Staying consistent long-term is the key to becoming your best. You've got to progressively challenge yourself month after month while being adamant about avoiding injury while training and racing.

How do you find the perfect balance between working hard and recovering enough so that you consistently move towards your goals?

On this week's episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I chat with Alex Burke, PT about how to stay injury free while chasing big goals!

Not every day is going to be sunshine and rainbows. 

Some days you will wake up in the dark, it will be cold and snowing outside, and your training plan says "go do a track workout." 

What do you do?

If you want to get better, you've got to embrace the challenge.

Are you thinking of running your first marathon?

When you continually challenge yourself and do the work that you love, the person you are today is vastly wiser and more experienced than the person you were just a few years ago.

You're running day after day, putting in the miles, getting in the workouts, but despite all of that your everyday easy run pace just isn't getting faster!

Have you ever wondered if champions are born or made?
