Should you be running LESS? 🤔

I know what you’re thinking, how could you POSSIBLY think about running less especially in the middle of a marathon training cycle? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well, there are times when decreasing your mileage can actually be more beneficial for you. Of course, such changes should be made by counseling with you coach but here are some of the reasons why you might want to ease up:

- If you are feeling “burnout”.
- If you are dealing with injury or flare ups.
- If you are training hard but your speed is actually decreasing.
- If you are in the off season.

Situational will vary from person to person but it’s important to LISTEN 👂 to your body!

✨RUNNER HIGHLIGHT ✨

Meet Brant Wansley! (Coach: Lisa Dobriskey)

“I had a wonderful experience working with Lisa. She’s a fantastic coach—so knowledgeable and empathetic to the ups and downs of running and racing. As an older runner with different expectations, I appreciated how she tailored her approach to my needs. During our time together, I was recovering from an injury, and she even asked her husband, Ricky, a physical therapist, to contribute to my workouts.

Their combined guidance were incredibly helpful— I got stronger, lost eight pounds, improved my VO2 max from 33 to 38, and felt like I turned back the clock on my physical age by years! Pretty amazing results.”

How to Become a Faster, Stronger Runner! 🔥

We’ve all heard it before: to run fast, you need to run slow. 🏃‍♂️💨 It’s not just a saying — it’s science. Think of it like the food pyramid, but for running: the “running funnel” shows you which workouts to prioritize and which to do less often for maximum performance.

With the right coaching, you’ll build a personalized running plan tailored to your goals, helping you improve endurance, speed, and efficiency. Ready to level up your running game? Let’s get started!

Hill running isn’t just about powering up inclines – it’s one of the best ways to transform your running and overall fitness. Here’s how each aspect of hill training works for you:

✅ It Builds Strength 💪 Running hills forces your legs to work harder, targeting muscles like your quads, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. The steeper the incline, the more force your body needs to generate, leading to improved muscle tone and strength. Over time, this added strength translates into more power when running on flat ground.

✅ It Boosts Speed ⚡Running uphill forces you to take shorter, more explosive strides, which improves your stride technique and cadence. This makes you faster on flat terrain, as your body learns to generate more force with each step. It’s a powerful way to break through speed plateaus and become a more efficient runner.

✅ It Enhances Endurance🏅The challenge of running uphill demands more from your cardiovascular system, which helps boost your aerobic capacity. As your heart and lungs work harder to fuel your body during these uphill efforts, your endurance levels skyrocket. You’ll notice longer runs feel easier and more manageable, even after adding significant distance.

✅ It Increases Power 🔥 Hill running is a natural strength and power builder. Each incline forces your muscles to generate more force per stride, improving your explosive power. This is especially beneficial for sprinters and anyone looking to enhance their performance in short, fast races or interval training.

✅ Mental Toughness 🧠 There’s no denying that hill running is tough! Tackling a hill requires focus, determination, and grit. As you conquer each incline, you not only build physical strength but also develop mental toughness. This translates into a greater sense of confidence, helping you push through tough moments in training.
