      I haven't quit totally, but as I've got older, alcohol has become much less important. I was fit and ready to parkrun on New Years Day after a party, simply because a little bubbly at 12 was all I had. Felt way better than everyone else on the first day of the year too!

    Moderation isn’t really in my nature, so planned structure is very important for me. It helps me see that planned rest isn’t taking a break from my training but is actually an important element of my training.

  • @timeonfeet

    Great tips. I've found seeing recovery and rest as part of training rather than outside of it really helps. Though it does require a bit of a psychological shift

    • @ThisMessyHappy
      @ThisMessyHappy  Год назад +5

      Agreed! So many runners have the mindset of hurting ourselves to improve but it’s both push AND pull! Takes a while to accept 😂

  • @SeeChadRun
    @SeeChadRun Год назад +13

    THIS IS GOLD! So many great tips. I find that some weeks are better than others. Meaning, life stressors, sleep changes, training, family stuff, etc all impact my training. For me, I've become keen on listening to my body. I plan to run 6 days a week, but sometimes I'm feeling extra tired and so I choose to sleep in (maybe I'll do a few easy treadmill miles, but maybe not). Maybe I need to reduce my training for an entire week, and that's OK! Consistency is key, and that includes consistently taking care of the body and allowing it to recover, reboot, absorb training, or take care of other life stressors.

I just got in from a 16km run this morning. .... i planned a 10km and over-motivation means i clocked around 50% more distance than i planned for this week!!

    Really enjoyed that video. I started running last summer aged 46 and really enjoying it, always considered myself too big (6'7") and heavy to run without injury but have adapted to mid-strike and bought a load of Altras and only have calf soreness occasionally which is expected when you do that. But I've added running in to a schedule of mainly cycling, HIIT (spin class) and weights so hopefully that will prevent overtraining by keeping the variety up. Also bought a Concept 2 recently which will help. I am looking ahead to selecting an event or challenge to do to keep me motivated (although it's getting warmer again and that helps) so will have to look out for these signs if I decide to train for a decent length run. Appreciate the tips!

      There's a few great podcast episodes out there (and I think he has his own now) with Matthew Walker who's a sleep expert. Hugely recommend watching them and trying to take what he says on board. Not only from the point of view of improving sleep for general life but also because it'll aid your recovery as a runner.

    It's a fascinating problem. I'm trying to gather a bit of personal anecdotal data on dealing with higher training volumes alongside autism and ADHD and a lot of symptoms related to low motivation and struggling to get out on runs kick in muuuch earlier. Interesting how varied the mental and physical responses to higher training volumes can be.

    This vid came at literally at the perfect time. Cutting back my miles in February a bit, to let my body acclimate/recovery from a mileage push after coming of a serious injury. I started zone 2 running again in Mid November along with Physio work. Mileage went from 5 miles, if that, per week to 25 per week, over the last few weeks. My coach wanted me to take it easy in February and cut my miles back a bit to rest, and be ready for my first proper marathon block in over a year, starting in March. So far so good but the lack of runs feels odd.😂

    I got into running 9 months ago. Got hooked. December last year did 3 long runs in 3 consecutive days. Pulled my piriformis muscle under my glute. I ignored the advice to not go from zero to hero. And now it's been two months and it won't get better. Aches after 1 or 2k every time I go out. It is causing me some real anxiety now as I hear this is a bad muscle and may never fully recover. I've also just had to pull out of London marathon which is devastating. Anyone else had this injury?
    Bloody love this channel. It really helped me.

    I have begun running 3k morning and evening 5 days a week. I don't feel that this is beyond me so far. On the two other days, one is to be an off day and the second is to have one long run 5-6k. So that works out at maximum of 36k per week. I do warm ups and warm downs sometimes with weights. Not sure how sustainable this is but as 10 of the 11 runs are to and from work it gives me a reason to do it. Any day I want a change up I can just divide my distance into so many seconds at different paces and work on something that is not a long slow run.

Mainly I make sure that I run enough to keep myself "happy" but I make the majority of those runs easy so as not to physically strain myself too much

    I’m currently training for Brighton and I had man flu for over a week and didn’t run but my first run back i beat my parkrun pb by 15 seconds but before that I was quite sluggish.
    Is feeling tired etc par for the course if you’re training for a race?
