Podcast: Episode 131 – Preparing for that big workout or virtual run (plus how to make the most of treadmill running)

OperationMove · July 10, 2020 · Leave a Comment

How do you prepare for that big workout, benchmark run or even a virtual race?

You might not want to do a full taper like you normally would, but you still want to give it the respect it deserves! This week I’m talking about:
  • Adapting your week
  • Keeping your priorities straight
  • What things won’t make a difference
  • How to set yourself up for a good physical and mental level of readiness on the day
  • And keeping focused on what your goal is while not getting locked into the outcome

Listener Question!

A listener wanted to know how to use treadmills vs running outside. So I talked a bit about:
  • What treadmills are really awesome at
  • What they are less awesome at
  • How to adapt sessions to the treadmill
  • And if you do all of your running on the treadmill, how will it translate to outside?

Podcast: Episode 115 – Training Talk with Kirsten + How to Pick a Goal Race

OperationMove · November 22, 2019 · Leave a Comment

This week in Training Talk

I talk to Kirsten who is deep into ultra taper. This was recorded last week, so at the time of publishing this she is already down in Falls Creek getting ready, which is so exciting! We talk a bit about what her taper look like (and what my deload week looked like – far less interesting) and we will make sure and do another episode after she is back to catch up on how it all went.

 

Listener Question: How Do You Pick a Goal Race?

This is a big question and thank you to Jo from Run Club for asking it, because it’s a great one to think about at this time of year! And we get into:

  • Goal races for experience vs for PBs
  • Structuring your year around your goals
  • The differences when you are planning for an ultra vs planning for a shorter distance
  • And then we get sidetracked into other things like: you can run even if it doesn’t benefit your family at all.

 

Coming Up . . .

Do you want 2020 to be the year you learn to run, our program starts on the 6th January and you can register here.

Podcast: Episode 112 – How to celebrate kissing your a goal goodbye (a Melbourne Marathon update!)

OperationMove · October 25, 2019 · Leave a Comment

 

I’m back, it just took me a little while with school holidays, a race, two short weeks and life, you know?

So this episode is all about how to let go of your A goal, and still have your race or your event be the celebration of your training that you want it to be.

Because as it turns out after Melbourne, that’s something that I know a little bit about.


Honestly, this podcast is a bit of a rambling one, so I won’t attempt to summarise it, you’ll just have to have a listen.

Podcast: Episode 94 – How to Optimise Your Race Recovery

Zoey · February 15, 2019 · Leave a Comment

This week, in the podcast I’m talking about a question that often pops up in Run Club, and that is how much recovery do I need and what does that even look like?

So this week, I’m talking about:

  • How many days off do you need?
  • How long until full recovery happens?
  • What if you’ve got a race three weeks later?
  • And, importantly how should you recover at the end of the year?

Podcast: Episode 89 – How to Debrief after a Bad Race

Zoey · November 2, 2018 · Leave a Comment

This week we are talking post-race debrief after a race or event that definitely did not go to plan. Normally, this is something that you would do with a coach, but if you don’t have a coach or are self-coached, then there are loads of things that you can do to do your own debrief post-event to make sure that you learn as much as possible and have everything you need to move forward with your next training cycle.

Learn to Run registrations are open, so you can check that out here. And our Walking and Introductory Strength program is available for free: tick the walking challenge box when you sign up for the newsletter.
