Training tips

There are many ways to improve your training, speed, endurance, stay injury-free ect. I have collected some links to websites describing different ways to do this. There are numerous of ways to train be to faster or what ever your goal may be. Some ways may be better than others. Which way you follow is entirely up to you - but one thing is essential: Listen to your body while doing it!

I have no formal education nor training as a coach, and all advice provided is based on my own experiences and life. I've included some basic rules I try to follow.

Best M.


The rules I "live" by:

  • Listen to your body!
    If you feel more sore or tired than usual, skip a day of training or take it slow.  
  • Don't increase your total weekly mileages by too much
    max 10% or 1-2 miles/ 1-3km per week
  • Vary your runsspeed/intervals, tempo work, hills, slow, short, long runs, different terrain...
  • 2-3 weeks ON followed by 1 week OFF
    In the first 2-3 weeks increase the weekly mileages each week, then followed by a week of "resting" say about 50% of previous weeks 
    mileages.
  • Trust your training plan
    Don't make any last minute changes prior to a race to increase your total mileages in hope of increasing your performance. Trust what you have accomplished till now...
  • Do tapering prior to a race
  • Do rest after a race - hard one to forget (even for me)
  • I don't foam role, but I stretch immediately after my runs
  • I change my shoes after approx 1000km or when the cushioning starts feeling deteriorated 
  • Listen to your body!
