The Elevate Your Running Podcast

Ever feel like you're not doing enough to prepare for your next race? In this episode, we flip the script on undertraining. Instead of seeing it as a failure, we explore how strategic undertraining can be your secret weapon. Join me as we discuss why a slightly less-than-perfect training cycle can lead to a stronger, healthier body and a sharper mind on race day. You'll learn why being 10% undertrained is often better than being 5% overtrained, and how this new mindset can lead to your most enjoyable and successful race yet.The Difference Between Undertraining and Overtraining: We break down why overtraining is often a greater threat to your race goals and long-term running health.The Power of a Fresh Mind and Body: Discover how coming to the start line rested and motivated can unlock a surprising performance.Why Long-Term Fitness is Your "Bank Account": We talk about how your years of consistent running build a foundation you can rely on, even with a less-than-ideal training cycle.Racing Smarter, Not Harder: Learn practical strategies for the undertrained runner, from smart pacing to using the run/walk method to finish strong.Thank you to our sponsors: PR Labs: PR Recovery Lab is here for you!
