  • Building Resilience: Why Difficult Runs May Signal a Need to Run More
    2024/07/02

    Get in touch with Coach Sher!

    Hi Running Friend!

    Today we start Season 8 talking about "bad runs" and differentiating between needing more training versus more rest. We explore why every run doesn't need to feel fantastic and how sometimes running MORE can lead to significant improvements. Yes, there are times we need an extra rest day, but that isn't always the case!

    Learning to tune into our running bodies does take time, but it is important to know when we need more stimulation or more rest for the adaptations we want.

    Running Consistently is One of the Keys to Improving
