A high school coach insisted that all runs be on the track one year, and another that if you can talk during a training run, you're slacking off. Needless to say, no middle-distance or distance runner qualified for states during his tenure.
@@PamelaEgan01you don't though. Stretching does nothing to prevent injuries, and can do more harm than good. You're better off warming up with a brisk walk and then starting off your run with an easy jog.
some great advice, whilst I'm not guilty of any of this what I am trying to come to terms with is my endurance levels at 53 which were dam good until a dive after I had COVID back in March this year. took maybe 10 days to feel ok again but then my endurance has not been the same, lots of blood tests and even x rays and Docs say it can only be a form of Long Covid... Now being smart and at present run to what my body tells me it can cope with, mostly easy miles and slowly building up the distance, currently just pushing 40k a week with two S+C days at the gym. Learned you cant train through long COVID or you just hit a fatigue state. This is coming from someone who has always looked after himself, no booze, cigs or crappy food.
Almost 40 years with the “no pain, no gain”…when young it felt almost all right, but I have to fully agree with the advice (I changed my mind a couple of years ago)…
What is the worst running advice you've ever heard?

You don’t need to stretch. And, that there is such a thing as junk miles.

Beer run. Varying distances between downing a bottle of beer. Students do this in one university here.

In my 50’s now and I know I must be gentle with my training, or stuffer for days or weeks even!
I bet I have done the entire list... watching now... ... Yep.
I have trained 27 years and most of it a bit too fast sabotaging my progress just to feel good about the pace.
I watched a youtube video that said running slow is harder on your joints due to the prolonged ground contact time. 😅
A ton of you tube coaches say this.
@mountainstream8351 yup! And I said by that logic, walking is the worst exercise. he he he!
Where did you find the boogieman giving these pieces of advice lol. Nodody is advising these things.
