RUN MELBOURNE 🌆 2024 edition is in the books. A strong showing from the JET athletes who took to the streets of Melbourne 🏃 We are strong believers in using winter to build better athletes for racing season. As such we don’t call it an ‘off-season’ - which helps frame the mindset for athletes and coaches alike. Running events are popular during this period, which makes a running project an obvious choice, but there are many other viable options 🏋️ 🏊 At the same time we can both move performance forward and refresh the training approach - it’s a win-win ✅ #jetcoaching #beyourbest #running #triathloncoaching

Have you heard of or read up on the work of Dave Brailsford with the British Cycling team? He broke down everything you could possibly think of that goes into riding a bike, personal training etc. and then looked to improve it all by 1%. Of course, when you put it all together, the law of marginal gains applies and the overall increase is much great then 1%. So my question to you today is: what things can you improve by just 1% that together will have a bigger impact?

I've gleaned many valuable insights from reading about running, particularly from Brad Hudson's work on the power of strides and hill sprints. Unlike traditional long intervals, he focuses on the explosive benefits of short, 8-second hill sprints, demonstrating their importance through the successes of elite runners he's coached—many of whom have competed in the Olympics and set records. Pete Pfitzinger's book complements this with detailed marathon training plans tailored to different skill levels, from beginner to advanced. These plans not only prepare you for races ranging from half to full marathons but also adjust to your specific abilities. Both books are essential reads for anyone aiming to develop a comprehensive and adaptable approach to running. #RunningExpertise #BradHudson #PetePfitzinger
