What's your goal for your next race? Well, we bet it isn't to run slower. Ha! No, you're more likely to say, "I want to run fast and feel good!" Right? When you're training for a race, you want your body to peak at just the right time. At Moms on the Run, our learn-to-run signature training literally finishes the season with a 5K/10K. (You can check that out here.) All of our training plans are designed to help our runners peak at the end of the training plan. We want you to run fast and feel good! Today's Ask Coach Carrie is "How easy should we run on easy days?" Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, talks about what it means to run at a conversational pace. So many of our runners hit the road hard every single run — which sounds great in theory but is not exactly the conversational pace we talk about for our recovery days. Listen to your body; not just your watch. It doesn't matter the distance — whether it's the last 5 miles in a marathon or the few minutes in a 5K, negative thoughts will start creeping in: "I'm tired!" "I'm dying!" "I can't do this!" But then we round the corner and see the finish line and our legs kick it in. What changed? Our thinking. All of a sudden we're telling ourselves we got this. Today, Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, talks about mental training and how important it is not only for running but in life. Our brains tell us we can't go on long before our bodies do. We need to train our brains the same way we train our legs. Listen in! Believe you can do hard things! That's the message of today's training tip from Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson. No matter in running or in life, there is power in positive thinking. Your mental attitude is crucial to your overall health. |
