Running Tip of the Month

Slow Down to Speed Up

​Here's a quick test. On easy runs, you should be able to hold a full conversation without gasping for air. If you can't, that's your cue to ease off.

It sounds backwards, but slower days are where the real gains happen. Push too hard on what should be a relaxed run, and you're eating into the recovery your body needs to repair and grow stronger.

Breath Test: Can't chat comfortably? Slow down or even walk a bit.
Time, Not Pace: Early on, minutes on your feet matter more than your kilometre split.
Rest is Training too: Leave a day between hard efforts to let your body catch up.

The runners who improve fastest are usually the ones who know when to slow down.
