Learning how to pace yourself is one of the most critical skills a runner can develop.

The pace we move at is an individual process. It varies from person to person and is dependant on one’s physiological parameters i.e. heart rate, VO2 max, lactate threshold.

By taking the time to understand good run pacing, to practice running at different speeds, and to understand how your body, breath, and heart rate feel in different effort zones, you will eventually be able to intuitively move between running paces and bring them to your training at the right moments. This is what will increase help you to get better, and ultimately maximise your enjoyment of running.

In running, consistency is so important. To improve, we need to be in the habit of running multiple times a week and giving our bodies the opportunity to adapt and improve, but if our recovery plan is not on the same level as our training plan, this consistent training might be a struggle, and that is where sessions get missed or injuries happen.

Having a recovery routine is what will give you the best chance of keeping your body strong and keeping you able to bring your best to each of your training sessions.
