Weekly Running Round Up

As I write this, I am 3 weeks out from my next marathon

It's been an interesting cycle this one

It's been interesting watching the people in my coaching community as well

Busy lives, families, niggles, and injury worries galore

And in truth?

No coach can really prevent that at our station in life

It's just about understanding it and managing it

Which is where the support REALLY matters

A good example is Neil

Neil ran his fastest half-marathon in over 10 years as part of his marathon training with my support

But old injuries and old concerns over injuries have hampered him a bit (he is over 40 and training very hard)

What we have been able to do here is manage the process so he can stay on track and still achieve his targets

And with a few weeks left until he races?

It looks positive

Another example is Scott

Scott is a few weeks out from his first marathon

He has also run his fastest half-marathon as part of his training

We had a conversation the other day about some niggles

A simple practical tweak has got him back on track

These are the moments that matter

Because running your first (or PBing a subsequent) marathon needs the right support at the right time

Especially if you are in midlife and it's not straightforward

This is the 12-months to marathon system

Not flashy or complicated

Just lived experience that can be applied in real time

>> Looking forward to tapering with the tem and seeing results

Until next time.
