Returning to Running after Having Covid-19

October 14, 2020

Returning to Running after Having Covid-19

Unfortunately, one of the questions for many runners in 2020 is, “How do I safely return to running after having Covid-19?” While there will be a range of individual recovery rates, these guidelines outline how to safely return to running after a Covid-19 diagnosis.  Covid-19 recovery is highly individual, especially in regards to returning to running.

Essential Books for Running Coaches

A weekend or online certification is only the beginning of being a running coach. Run coaching requires a commitment to continual education and refinement of your training philosophy. The best approach? Read everything you can.

What are Junk Miles? (And How to Know If You Are Running Them)

September 16, 2020

What are Junk Miles? (And How toKnow If You Are Running Them)

Every run should have a purpose. Most experienced runners will describe to you the transformational moment in their training, when they learned to run their easy days easy and their hard days hard. The transition from junk miles - purposeless, always-moderate training - to polarized training allowed them to fully benefit from their runs. Junk miles are not "bad" but they are not optimal for performance.  The exact definition of junk mileage varies based on the coaching philosophy. Some ...
