Most of my coaching is spent with teams and individuals in person, but here’s to keeping the weekly dialogue going through the Instaweb with a monthly topic📱To kick off October we’re talking about...

🏃‍♀️VARIETY🏃

Cross country and fall marathon season are in full swing, which has me thinking about the importance of variety in training. Regardless of what you’re training for, it’s important to vary up your training surfaces. Whether you’re training for the roads or the track, switching up the surfaces of your runs and workouts helps prevent overuse injuries (variety of surfaces ➡️ greater variety of muscle groups used) and keeps training feeling fresh by switching things up mentally. Plus, if you’re able to hit your splits on repeats on a dirt track as I watched @rudisha800m do here, the switch to all-weather will probably feel pretty good. 👌
