Things We Wish We Knew When We Started Running

In this weeks episode we will be focusing on how to transition from winter to summer training.  A lot of people will be finishing spring races and moving into their next training block with the summer challenges coming up ahead. This time can feel a little difficult to navigate through, but we wanted to provide some motivation and inspiration to get you excited for the rest of the year.  We also answered some of your questions including:   How long should you be in a base building phase for? And what sessions to focus on.  How many days a week should you be training after returning from injury? What sessions to be doing if you're training for a 5/10k to then move into an Autumn Marathon. How to best phase into summer training in terms of heat / hydration / effort and what to expect in terms of heart rate? How do you increase stride length?     We have a few slots open for coaching, so if you want some support ahead of your Autmumn races, get in touch!  Apply for 121 Online Coaching with The Running Hub  Watch us on YouTube Follow us on Instagram - @therunninghubcommunity  Shop our website www.therunninghub.co.uk
