If you don't fancy the workout or your time has been pressured by other commitments, leave it. Change the plan. It can be done on another day that works better. Flexibility in your approach is likely to keep you in the game for longer.

Brace yourselves @Strava is going full on @stravawanker with this ‘Athlete Intelligence’ feature 🤣🙄 A 1km is NOT a SPRINT - that’s a 10/12min steady effort - this is going to make the average recreational runners more idiotic 🙄😬🤣

New Zealand wants to host 2028 World Indoor Championships. With the 200m 'short track' no longer confined to an indoor arena, the championships could take place at somewhere like Eden Park. https://t.co/rMKdWf6iQz

"Lydiard's way of starting everybody on week 1 was doing 100 miles and on day 7 doing the 22 mile tough Waiatarua. That was a shock for many and some did not come back for week 2, but some of us did and most who did became champions." B Magee 2016 email to TOF

It's 24 years to the day since Cathy Freeman won Olympic 400m gold in front of around 112k people at Sydney 2000 🔥 Freeman clocked 49.11 to claim the title and the reaction of the crowd said it all 🇦🇺 https://t.co/Rn6e9YJlSa

There was a time a few years ago where people discovered their local countryside. They walked, they exercised. They got the idea that simple stuff was good. Being healthier is often about doing simple things.

Total training duration ~12/14 weeks, broken up into segments of build up. Consistency is not easy as it sounds. She kept showing up did the work & never complained.

She has not run a marathon for many years. We worked on consistency & strength followed by more conditioning & running to feel. No “workouts”. Basic premise was getting to the start line healthy. She didn’t wear a watch for the race or in training, ran to feel.

One of the people I coach won the 60 year female age group NZ National Marathon title in Rotorua, when we started working together at the beginning of this year, she said, “I’ll be happy to finish in 4hrs 15” - she ran 3:37 wining an age group national medal.

The "Waiatarua" long run t. It might not change your life immediately, but it might help out in the long run.

An all out fitness test on a novice is a bad idea: 1. They won’t get anywhere near actual max because fatigue is a foreign 2. It will scare them away, making them think exercise sucks! Start where people are at. Which is often a walk around the neighborhood. Progress gradually

Tip to the fitness bros: An 800, mile, or even 5k might feel like sprinting to you... but they are all primarily aerobic events. All are controlled paces, even the 800. Learn the nuance of speed. If you don't understand, then you don't understand interval training!

10 years ago, I won the most significant race of my life. I still get chills watching this video 10 years later. Thank you everyone who celebrated this special victory with me in Boston last week.

A misinterpretation that has been flying around running clubs for many a year and still does. But being correct, 'repetitions' are the work and 'intervals' are the recovery! That will cause some discussion on club nights. Enjoy your 10x400 intervals! Details matter. TOF

Rule of thumb: You shouldn't listen to anyone's advice on exercise if they regularly use the word cardio.

To novice runners, a marathon is often considered the ultimate challenge. A 5k is the entry event. But... running a good 5k is often much more challenging. You are riding a line, it's hard from the get go. It just shows are bias towards equating distance to challenge.

Note to coaches: Put the egos aside. Learn from each other. There are no secrets. No one truly has all the answers.
