Beth joined us at SFE having lost all confidence in her running due to injury. We quickly identified through our screening process that although very strong in certain areas, she lacked strength and confidence in the areas that would allow her to get over injury and back to running. Over the last 12 weeks we have progressively worked on these ares together, alongside her running program - building back her volume and confidence to successfully navigate the Great Norse Run. She's now backing it up a few weeks later to embark on The Isles Ultra in the Hebrides. 00:00 Catching Up Post Run 01:03 Event Format And Distances 02:36 Fatigue And Recovery Lessons 04:21 Pacing Without Racing 05:29 Strength Training Impact 06:59 Pre Trip Injury Scare 07:52 Next Challenge Hebrides Ultra 08:32 Moonlike Iceland Terrain 10:04 Fueling And Flavor Fatigue 13:43 Hebrides Conditions Ahead 14:33 Post Event Fatigue 15:15 Lego Training Tracker 17:26 Confidence For Hebrides 18:53 Iceland Low Moments 20:54 Goggles And Weather Kit 22:52 Mindset And Community 24:38 Hebridean Way Logistics 26:04 Progress And Sign Off Learn more about Strength For Endurance: Download our FREE Return to Run guide: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/return-to-run-guide Find Out About Online or Face to Face Coaching Programs: https://www.strengthforendurance.com/ Receive weekly coaching tips and masterclasses straight to your inbox:  https://www.strengthforendurance.com/sfe-inner-circle Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok and Youtube @strengthforendurance
