The Running Hub

In this weeks episode we're joined by Alex Larson, who was previously on the podcast.  We discuss how to fuel for triathlon training and performance.  Instead of fuelling for just running, there's more to consider when you begin to add in swimming, biking, strength and other forms of exercise.  Alex joins us to discuss how to fuel optimally for training and some tips for race day as triathlon season is fast approaching.    We have slots opening for coaching soon so if you'd like to apply you can do so here - Coaching Application - Join The Running Hub Join The Running Hub Community - Our Membership Option Social Media LinksFollow us on instagram - @therunninghubcommunity @run_with_coachkatie @coach_james_trh Follow us on Facebook   Follow us on YouTube  Speak to the coaches!katie@therunninghub.co.uk james@therunninghub.co.uk hayley@therunninghub.co.uk Purchase our new Strength Guide Here.  Shop our website & new limited edition range - www.therunninghub.co.uk/shop

For months you put your heart and soul into training, pouring all of your energy, and dedication into that one day… and then it's over.  But no one really talks about what's next?   Recovery. After the high of the marathon, recovery can feel confusing.  You go from running all the time to doing absolutely nothing, and it's easy to wonder, “Should I be doing more?”  The main thing to remeber is that RECOVERY is not the same for everyone. And you need to listen to your body.  In this week's episode the why, what and how on recovery. We discuss what you could be doing in the first few weeks after your race and how to slowly transition back to your normal routine.  Don't move on too quickly though, remember to celebrate everything you have just achieved.      We have slots opening for coaching soon so if you'd like to apply you can do so here - Coaching Application - Join The Running Hub Join The Running Hub Community - Our Membership Option Social Media LinksFollow us on instagram - @therunninghubcommunity @run_with_coachkatie @coach_james_trh Follow us on Facebook   Follow us on YouTube  Speak to the coaches!katie@therunninghub.co.uk james@therunninghub.co.uk hayley@therunninghub.co.uk Purchase our new Strength Guide Here.  Shop our website & new limited edition range - www.therunninghub.co.uk/shop

In this week's episode we share our opinion on why we believe marathon plans don't always need to be 16 weeks. Research studies have also stated that 12 week plans can be more effective for experienced or advanced runners.  The crucial factor in deciding how long your block should be is, what did your training look like before, what do you need to work on next and break the cycle down into smaller blocks.  Our DMs are always open if you want to discuss this topic more and also in relation to your own training.  Purchase our new Strength Guide Here.  Shop our website & new limited edition range - www.therunninghub.co.uk/shop Join us for The Running Hub Retreat - May 2025, Paphos, Cyprus.

In this weeks episode we discuss 'base building' a term widely discussed in the running world, with sometimes not enough understanding.  Base building became very popular after an Australian coach Lydiard had huge success with some of his athletes in the 1960's.  A base building period forms a stage of your training plan before getting into the specifics of half or full marathon training. In this weeks episode we discuss what it is and how to execute it correctly.    Sponsor James for Valencia Half Marathon and enter to win a free year of coaching -  https://pandasfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/james-down-trh   We have a few slots open for coaching, so if you want some support ahead of your Autmumn races, get in touch!  Apply for 121 Online Coaching with The Running Hub  Watch us on YouTube Follow us on Instagram - @therunninghubcommunity  Shop our website www.therunninghub.co.uk
