- Making the most of modest means
One of the things coaches and experts in the field of sports training seem to be talking about these days is the fact that most of us tend to take the hard workouts too easy and even more so, the easy workouts too hard.In effect we end up doing almost all of our workouts at...
You have to stay positive when injured – if you don’t, you’d just get depressed and this sport malarky is supposed to be fun. Of course, an injury is never much fun and the rehabilitation period is frustrating. Most of us just want to get back out there running again and all we can think...
I really shouldn’t have done it, I know I shouldn’t, but I couldn’t help myself. It was my second run after a few weeks off due to a knee injury so I should have been taking it easy. My training schedule had me down to do the following: Run: 60 min steady with 2x 6...
