Training for a 10K? πββοΈ these 3 essentials can make or break your race prep:
1οΈβ£ Strength before speed
If your hips and glutes arenβt strong, your knees and calves will pay the price. Add 2 short strength sessions per week focusing on single-leg work.
2οΈβ£ Progress gradually
Most running injuries come from doing too much, too soon. Increase your weekly mileage slowly and give your body time to adapt.
3οΈβ£ Recovery is part of training
Sleep, mobility work, and easy runs help your tissues recover and rebuild stronger. Skipping recovery often leads to overuse injuries.
Train smart now so you can actually enjoy race day. π
