Nail that convo pace! ⤵️
The most common thing I see in beginner runners is going to hard too soon and ending up with aches and pains or worse an injury.
👣 When we first start running the most important thing is building up time on our feet sustainably. We are ploughing ourselves into the ground step after step, so when you go from zero running at all, to someone looking to run a couple times a week, we need to build tolerance to the impact running has on our lower body.
🚦 Running ‘easy’ is less impactful overall. Running fast harder on the body.
😓 At the beginning all your runs will feel hard, so the way we can know if we’re running easy is using the ‘talk test’
💬 Count out loud to 10 or have a yap with a mate. If you’re not gasping for breath then you’ve nailed it. If you are, slow down.
⌚ Heart Rate zones and pace don’t matter when you’re a beginner. Make peace with that from the off and nail that convo pace and you’ll build a sustainable running habit. The speed work can come later! Build the tiime on the feet first.
📺 One of the coaching videos that gets viewed the most in my app is how to nail your conversation pace. I give all my Club, Crue and AAA members access to this resource, so if you decide to work with me or sign up to a program, you’ll get this alongside it.
👉🏻 DM me ‘PACE’ if you’d like me to send you the link to my coaching and program offers.
Love you! 🧡
