IMPROVING RUNNING FITNESS in 1 week: the *REAL* WAY 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 . . . 💣TRUTH bomb on a Monday: if your training plan doesn't have these built into them... 💀And you already feel that you're "injury prone" 😅And being held together by biofreeze and duct tape: Do yourself a favor. Add in DOWN WEEKS. Or Off weeks Or Deload weeks. 👊🏻They're aaaallll the same thing: A specificallyplanned week where your training is NOT so intense. Elisabeth from @runningexplained had an AMAZING post last week about how you cannot/should not increase your mileage every week. THIS IS WHY. by adding in these more chill weeks, you give your body a chance to: 🧡actively recover 🩵heal up from any potential injuries 🧡and harvest the fitness you've worked so hard on creating! Think of it like a "super mini taper", but without the jitters. Unsure HOW to do it? Want a fast, easy resource?
