Just about every runner has made the mistake of going too fast on a recovery run and paid the price. There’s a lot of things that we know we should do as runners and still get them wrong. 

Coach Jeff brings his years of coaching experience to the show to share why runners make these 5 easy to fix mistakes:

  • Overdoing recovery runs
  • Ineffective strength training
  • Rationalizing not having enough time
  • Running through injury
  • Eating the wrong fuel before and after training

You might think this list looks basic, and you’d be right. Even veteran runners screw up the easy stuff sometimes and fixing them can help you to make massive performance gains.

Marathon training is hard, so don’t screw up the easy stuff.
