Note to coaches: Put the egos aside. Learn from each other. There are no secrets. No one truly has all the answers.

To novice runners, a marathon is often considered the ultimate challenge. A 5k is the entry event. But... running a good 5k is often much more challenging. You are riding a line, it's hard from the get go. It just shows are bias towards equating distance to challenge.

Rule of thumb: You shouldn't listen to anyone's advice on exercise if they regularly use the word cardio.

A misinterpretation that has been flying around running clubs for many a year and still does. But being correct, 'repetitions' are the work and 'intervals' are the recovery! That will cause some discussion on club nights. Enjoy your 10x400 intervals! Details matter. TOF

Tip to the fitness bros: An 800, mile, or even 5k might feel like sprinting to you... but they are all primarily aerobic events. All are controlled paces, even the 800. Learn the nuance of speed. If you don't understand, then you don't understand interval training!

10 years ago, I won the most significant race of my life. I still get chills watching this video 10 years later. Thank you everyone who celebrated this special victory with me in Boston last week.

Brace yourselves Strava is going full on @stravawanker with this ‘Athlete Intelligence’ feature 🤣🙄 A 1km is NOT a SPRINT - that’s a 10/12min steady effort - this is going to make the average recreational runners more idiotic 🙄😬🤣

If you don't fancy the workout or your time has been pressured by other commitments, leave it. Change the plan. It can be done on another day that works better. Flexibility in your approach is likely to keep you in the game for longer.
