When it comes to you becoming a fitter, stronger runner, there are a few things you need to know, and mistakes you need to avoid, so that you can keep running longer, faster, and staying injury-free.

Mistake #1 - Pushing Yourself Too Hard

One of the biggest mistakes that new runners make is thinking that every run needs to be a lung busting hard effort, and that the only way to get a meaningful workout when running is to push themselves hard on every single run.

First of all, that’s a great way for running to become un-enjoyable, very quickly.

Second, pushing hard with every run will leave you more likely to get injured.

But most importantly, you’ll build your endurance much more quickly if you slow your pace to a point where you’re not out of breath when you run. This simple approach to pacing will allow you to develop your aerobic energy system, and enable you to run stronger for longer.

Don’t get me wrong, your pace will benefit from regular intense running workouts, but for all but more advanced runners, one speed session per week is usually quite enough.

Keep your running pace easy otherwise!

Mistake #2 - Neglecting Your Recovery

This is true in most sports, not least running… It’s not that professional athletes necessarily train much harder than keen amateurs. Often the difference between the two is that the pros have the time and opportunity to prioritise their recovery with as much importance as their workouts! While us amateurs need to balance training, work, and other pressures.

That doesn’t mean that you’re not able to give your body a helping hand, so that you can recover more effectively between running workouts.

Even the hardest working runner can make sure that they drink enough water during the day to rehydrate after running, eat a balanced diet to promote recovery, and get enough sleep. After all, it’s while you’re asleep that your body goes into full-on growth and repair mode, so that you can recover stronger between sessions.

Neglecting your nutrition, hydration and sleep is a recipe for poor recovery, potentially leading to illness, injury and poor results from your training.

So look after yourself between runs!

Mistake #3 - Too Much (Too Fast) Too Soon

We’ve all been warned of the dangers of doing too much running, too soon, either when staring out as a new runner, or when returning from an injury.

However, I like to add TOO FAST right in the middle there!

I’ve met so many injured runners who got hurt just as they started to incorporate speed workouts into their training schedule.

The issue isn’t usually the speed workouts themselves, rather the fact that they’re often also trying to increase their weekly mileage at the same time.

For example, perhaps they’re in Week 4 of a marathon training plan where they’re running more miles each week, but they’re also following speed workouts in the plan. A combination of volume and intensity that their body just isn’t used to!

This all comes down to planning. If you know that you’re going to start a marathon training plan in the next few months, start gradually increasing your weekly running mileage now, so that when the training plan starts your body will be used to the training load, and any additional speed workouts won’t be too big of a shock to the system, because you’re only adding one new element at a time.
