BUILD BACK BETTER
Image Source
So you have a history of running but maybe haven't been running as consistently... But you have been running a bit this past year, but your recent mileage may not align with your running goal. Does this sound like you?If this is the case, how many miles you have been running, how frequently each week you run, your long-term running history, and how long it has been since you have regularly run may influence where you need to start back at.For many runners, running has seasons of being on and off with our time on our feet. People often don't realize that while your cardio fitness may not totally go away, your body's adaption to running may drop more than you think. Specifically, things like your tendons, ligaments, and muscles may not be used to mileage anymore, and jumping into a big running or racing goal or rapidly increasing our mileage may set us up for injury or overtraining. Have no fear, we are here to help! We have a few different 'ramp' programs in our app to help bridge people from their current running base to their goal race base mileage in TLM. We have 4 different options outlined below:BRIDGE PROGRAMS:Build back from 0-10 miles/week over 6 weeksBuild back from 10-20 miles/week over 6 weeksBuild back from 5-15 miles/week over 6 weeksBuild back from 10-25 miles/week over 6 weeksNEXT STEPS: OPTION 1: If you have a specific race goal in the next 3-6 months and it sounds like one of these may be a better fit for you at this time please Send us a message here letting us know your recent running history & goals, and we can make sure you land in the right timeline of programs. OPTION 2: If you don't have a rushed timeline and feel good about building back your training slowly, we recommend hopping into one of our base build programs based on your average running mileage over the past few months. OPTION 3: This doesn't quite seem right and you need further assistance picking out your program. Send us a message here letting us know your recent running history & goals, and we can make sure you land in the right timeline of programs. Do you need a lifting plan, too?
