    You’ve put in the work. The workouts are clicking, your paces are feeling easier, the weather is cooperating, and suddenly you’re wondering if you can do more, should be running more, and/or should be running faster.

    In Episode 290, we discuss how to protect a solid training cycle all the way to the start line. When training is going well, it can be just as easy to get derailed by emotion as when things are not going as smoothly.

    Feeling strong can lead runners to push paces, add mileage, squeeze in extra workouts, constantly test their fitness, or decide that their training plan is holding them back.

    We’re breaking down how to use the positive feedback from a strong training cycle without letting it tempt you into doing too much, and why feeling good is often evidence that your plan is working, not evidence that you need to do more.
