Developing Top-Notch Run Mechanics!
Swim mechanics and bike fitting get all of the hype these days. Athletes, are often keenly aware of our mechanical faults in the water, and how to make our bike position as powerful and aerodynamic as possible. The mechanics of running, however, have not yet received the respect that they deserve, until now! My goal, with this writing, is to help runners, to overcome many of running's common mechanical pitfalls.
Marathon Training Stress Budget
To some this may sound like Accounting 101, and in many ways it is, but stress budgeting is one of the most important concepts to the overall success of an athlete. Often overlooked by many less detailed coaches and self-coached athletes, this is part and parcel to surviving and benefiting from the training of a running season. I encourage athletes to approach their workouts/season planning with a total stress budget in mind. That is, planning and executing their season on micro, and especially macro levels, consistently expanding their stress budget, without breaking the bank! My aim is to further explain what this budget is and why it is so important to your success.
