✅ Stop chasing faster paces or comparing to others
When I started running a couple of years ago, I found myself chasing faster paces during training and comparing myself to others. Which felt good for a single session or two, but inevitably led to issues down the road: fatigue, lack of adaptation and injury.
✅ Manage your effort
Especially for those new to running there is a power-full tool, that allows you to manage your effort. By running at the right intensity in all circumstances, not too hard and not too slow, you challenge your body just the right amount, and with good rest and nutrition you can achieve optimal adaptation.
✅ Relax into your running
Running with Stryd, running based on my effort (in Watts) instead of pace, took ego out of the equation. I wasn’t trying to run too hard going up hill or facing headwinds. It made running more relaxed, as I learned how to run by feel/effort.
✅ An unforgettable marathon, and a new PB
I just ran my second marathon using Stryd and I ran the whole thing at the correct effort. My Stryd power meter allowed me to run consistently at the right intensity. This allowed me to relax into the speed I could maintain and make this marathon unforgettable.
And I ran a new PB to boot!
