COACH’S TIPS OPTIMISE YOUR SESSION

Work on technique

While this is never something to ignore, there’s more time to focus on run technique in the off-season. And even small improvements can add up to more speed in your next race.

No Garmin!

During the off-season I like to run without tech that keeps track of metrics, such as speed and heart rate. I go on feel alone and enjoy not having to check metrics over and over again.

Run with others

There’s nothing quite as energising as a run with friends. Improving your running usually requires solo sessions, but in the off-season, train with like-minded people and make it fun.
