What does this actually mean? Is it that you can run your normal paces and efforts when you’re acclimated? Or just that you don’t die while running? 😂 We’ve really just started seeing heat and humidity here for the summer and everything I read about heat acclimation says you should be acclimated within 10-14 days. This is my 5th summer in hot and humid Tennessee and I don’t think I’ve ever felt acclimated. My easy pace, keeping HR low is always about 1-1.5 min/mile slower in the summer. Which makes me feel that I’m not making any progress - although I know I am! Thoughts?

Honestly, threshold work felt like living right on the edge for weeks. Every session asked for more than felt comfortable. My legs burned, my breathing stayed sharp, and I never really got a break from that feeling. Tempo runs, hill repeats, stair sessions. Different workouts, but they all put me in the same uncomfortable spot. Now it's time to shift into the endurance phase of training. I've got long efforts coming. Back to back days on tired legs. Climbing and descending until my legs forget what fresh feels like. Figuring out fueling and pacing when I'm already worn down, not when I'm fresh and feeling good. Threshold work made me fast and a little miserable. This next phase feels slower, longer, and tired in a totally different way. Anyone else moving through this same shift right now? What did threshold work feel like for you?

Hey everyone 👋 I've been having a lot of conversations with runners recently about mobility, so I thought I'd share a quick thought... Most runners spend their time chasing more miles, faster paces and better fitness. And while those things matter, they're only useful if your body can actually handle the demands of running. That's where mobility comes in. Mobility isn't about becoming a yoga master or touching your toes. It's about giving your body the ability to move well and the strength to have more control over your running. When you move well, running often feels smoother, more comfortable and less restricted. And here's what a lot of runners don't realise. You don't need to spend hours doing it. A few short sessions each week working on key areas like your feet, hips and spine will make a huge difference. The runners who stay healthy and keep improving aren't always the ones doing the most. They're often the ones looking after their bodies consistently. What's one area of your body that feels like it's holding you back when you run? Let me know.
