10 years ago doesn’t seem that long ago but the sport of running has advanced and grown in popularity so much since then. There is far more easily assessable information out there now that can leave people confused or overwhelmed. Knowing when to apply certain concepts is what will be the important thing to consider now. I have experienced the pitfalls of applying the incorrect tools of training at the wrong time early on in my running journey. My approach has evolved from mindlessly hammering and suffering to improve to a more structured approach. Work smarter not harder though hard work will definitely find it’s place. Being able to be flexible when necessary is what will give you longevity. I will provide honest feedback while also granting grace and making adjustments to training as I see the respective athlete requires.
