Run4PRs  show

Summary: We are often asked what workouts are best or what is the best weekly mileage to run. The answer is simple: use the progressive overload principle! What is that? The idea that you are starting where you are at with mileage and workouts then slowly building micro stress over a period of time to lead your body to have specific adaptations. Each training plan should be different because each athlete has a unique starting point. You need to assess your background and goals before you jump into training training plan Have you ever jumped into a training plan because you liked the way it looked because it looked super hard? What happened? Have you ever been given a training plan that looked pretty basic/boring but been amazing at how much improvement you had? Why does the progressive overload principle work on our bodies? Why is it a bad idea to jump all in on a super challenging training plan? Will you see results from massive overload? What will happen overtime from progressive approach vs a massive overload? When people refer to training smarter not harder is this apart of this approach? Www.run4prs.co
