BOTH? 👇🏼 comment below👇🏼 ✅ KNOW YOURSELF: are you a lone wolf runner or more of a pack animal? Some people get so competitive in a group environment that is becomes impossible to enjoy the workout or hit their paces. Some athletes NEED to be in a group to have motivation to run far or push themselves in workouts. ✅ RUN YOUR PACE NOT THE PACE GROUP YOU WANT TO BE IN: it can be SO tempting in a group setting to go a little bit faster than you should or jump up to the faster pace group. In order to find success, we must train at the right paces! Going too fast on easy days, long runs days and/or workouts can hold you back from reaching your potential and cause burn out! When in doubt, run with the slower pace group! ✅ INDIVIDUALIZE YOUR TRAINING: don’t leave your success up to a generic plan! Focusing on your strengths and weaknesses as an athlete is KEY! Are you a super great marathoner but lack speed? Are you a wicked fast 5k-10k runner but fall apart in the longer distances? You need to do workouts SPECIFIC to YOU to improve. Those 2 athletes should not have the same training plans. Ask your group/coach how to make the plan more individualized based on your background and goals! 👉🏼 Www.run4prs.co #grandmasmarathon #tapercrazies #marathontraining #halfmarathontraining #igrunner #instarun #runningmoms #motherunner #bostonmarathontraining #fitsnap #runnerswhoyoga #runnerswholift #teamrun4prs #run4prs #nuunlife #marathonmaniac MOM of 3 shaved 29 min off her marathon time working with @run4prs ✅ Running 5 days a week ✅ Around her schedule & family life Finding a plan that works for YOU is key 🔑 Training smarter not harder🔥 now we will train for that BQ 🦄 Want to discover your potential? 👉🏼Www.run4prs.co Fill out the form to chat today
