How to Heal Achilles Tendonitis 01.08.2023

Mike hadn’t run for 9 months due to his Achilles pain. He was trying to train for his first marathon, but he couldn’t even run around the block.  He’d just been for another visit to the doctor who told him to continue to rest and if it wasn’t better in a month he was going in a boot. At this point, he felt completely hopeless. Like the healthcare system had failed him. He figured he’d just have to...

Running with Power Meters 101 | with Steve Palladino, Running Coach 08.03.2023

Running with Power Meters has exploded in popularity in the last few years. Taking the baton from their cycling counterparts, elite runners have begun to embrace "power" as a key metric to guide their training. As the cost of running power meters comes down, it's time for recreational runners to get in on the act. Many runners are noticing that "watts" is already displayed on their Garmin or Apple...

The One-Hour Strength Solution: Dumbbell Strength Exercises for Runners 02.03.2023

I was giving a talk at a running club a couple of weeks ago about strength training for runners. I asked the group to raise their hand if they were doing regular strength training. Only a few hands went up. Then I asked them to raise their hand if they had heard that strength training was good for runners. All the hands went up. This is real progress, it was only a few years ago that runners belie...

How much Water should you Drink when Running? 15.02.2023

If you want to know how much water you should drink when running, you’ll need to know how much you sweat. Sweat rates vary from runner to runner. Some people sweat as little as 200ml of fluid per hour, whereas others can sweat as much as 3 litres per hour! To complicate things, sweat rates can vary significantly within the same runner. If you’re running in -30°C you will sweat far less than you wi...

Can Slow Running make you Faster? | with Dr. Tyler Eng, Physical Therapist 12.02.2023

Most runners have heard that slow running will help improve their performance. However, time and time again I see runners going too fast on their slow runs. This means they're always a bit tired, so they have to go slower on their fast runs. So they end up doing most of their runs at a kind of moderate-intensity pace. Missing out on many of the training benefits experienced at lower and higher int...

What should I Eat to Fuel my Run? | with Stephanie Small, Registered Dietician 07.02.2023

Runners often use gels and sports drinks to fuel their long runs. In my experience, they typically take 1 gel per hour (at the most). Frankly, this is not enough. That would be 20-25 grams of carbohydrate. If you want to fuel your long run properly, you need more like 30-60 grams of carbohydrate. That’s more like 2-3 gels. To put it more clearly, most runners be fuelling with 2-3 times as much car...
