The result? He not only cut his marathon time by almost an hour but also lost over 20kg in the process. 🔥

The plan gave him daily workouts, pacing, and strength training to stay injury-free. Each session had a purpose, and the results followed. ✅

Only a few months left in 2024... What are you focusing on in your training? Whether it’s a big race, hitting a new personal best, or simply staying consistent. I'd love to hear what’s driving you! 🏅💪

The Coach Parry Training Club is here to help you stay ahead of the game. Let’s make sure you’re always prepared, not just when things turn green. Join the club:

- Don’t wait for a breakdown: Just like with pool maintenance, don’t wait until you’re forced to rest. Proactive care keeps you running strong.

- Train regularly and stay focused. It prevents last-minute panic before a race.

- Address small issues immediately. If you notice a niggle or a dip in your performance, act on it. Early intervention prevents bigger problems.

They push through, hoping it will get better. Eventually, we hit a wall, and the recovery takes way longer than it should. Here’s what I’ve learned👇

I ignored the dirty pool and sluggish creepy-crawly for too long... Now, I’m staring down two days of brutal cleanup, all because I couldn’t be bothered to act sooner. How often do runners see the signs—tired legs, small aches, a drop in performance?

6/ Our free strength training plan for runners over 50 is designed to help you build and maintain the strength you need to stay injury-free and run strong. ->> https://t.co/XjoPZHvoqo Strength training is the foundation of a strong, injury-free running life. 🏃‍♀️💪

5/ Recovery Is Just as Important Muscles need time to recover and grow stronger after strength training. Incorporating proper recovery strategies—like stretching, hydration, and rest—prevents overtraining and maximizes the benefits of your sessions.

4/ Balance Is Key Strength training should complement your running, not detract from it. Focus on exercises that target key muscle groups like your glutes, core, and legs. Incorporating both upper and lower-body workouts helps prevent muscle imbalances.

3/ Consistency Beats Intensity You don’t need hours in the gym or the heaviest weights to see benefits. Consistent, moderate sessions 2-3 times a week build and maintain the strength needed for running. It’s about consistency, not going all-out every session.
