i DOUBLED my running distance + cut down on my time in 4 months... here’s how i did it 👇🏼 1️⃣ consistency > perfection i often felt like skipping my runs, but here’s what to keep in mind : a "mid" run is better than no run at all. show up on the days where you feel the least like it, because progress doesn’t lie ; you can’t skip half your runs and expect to get great results!! 2️⃣ get a coach and/or a plan!! accountability is a HUGE thing when it comes to staying consistent — and also feeling guided and knowing what the heck you’re doing! merci @nic.genest, couldn’t have done it without you 🙂‍↔️ 3️⃣ FUEL!!! you most likely will eat more than others around you / more than you used to, which is NORMAL. i know it can be scary, but you can’t casually run 20kms on empty! learn what foods work best for your body before, during and after training. 4️⃣ running frequency going on 3 shorter runs per week is better than going on 1 extra long run. focus on frequency > intensity. 5️⃣ specific strength training include some unilateral and functional work to your strength sessions, and add some knee/hip/tibialis exercises. i like to do 1-3 strength sessions per week depending on my recovery, and prioritize my runs over my gym sessions as i have a specific running goal at the moment. if i have to skip a session, it’ll be a strength one and not a run. 6️⃣ recovery make sure you include at least one active recovery day per week. do some stretching and some light movement such as walking! make sure to follow @leamfit_ if this was helpful!! love u 🩷🎧🏃🏼‍♀️🌟
