Why Runners Fail

20/9/2015

2 Comments

 
There are a number of reasons why runners do not to reach their goals, do not progress and ultimately fail. This occurs at all levels of ability and is certainly not confined to beginner or elite athletes. In fact, I would suggest that the most likely culprits are those who have been running for a few years, and have a dangerous amount of information.
These include, but are certainly not limited to:
            Running too fast.
            Running too slow.
            Always running the same speed.
            Inadequate recovery time between training sessions or events.
            Over-training.
            Under-training.
            Participating in too many events / over-racing.
            Doing the same thing you have always done.
            Running for the wrong reasons.
            Blindly following a plan.
            Ignoring the feedback loops from the body.
            Progressing at an inappropriate rate.

If you recognise that you suffer from one, or many of these failures, I suggest that we sit down for a chat about what it is that you want to achieve, and what the path is to get you there.

In the interim, here are my six training tips that should be applied to any training regime:
            Train Fast
            Train Slow
            Train Specific
            Train Long
            Train Tired
            Cross Train

Nice list James. The only one I have questions about is 'train tired'. I'm not sure what that means.

Train when you are fatigued.
