In June 2024, we hosted our first Running Hub Retreat in Paphos, Cyprus.  We wanted to share with you the successes, highlights and activites of what the group got up to.  Our guests took a lot away from the week, but the two words of the week were connection and conversation. It was a powerful, emotive and challenging week but also fun!  We hope we could convey how much both ourselves and our guests enjoyed it, and spoiler alert - there will be one in 2025!    We have a few slots open for coaching, so if you want some support ahead of your Autmumn races, get in touch!  Apply for 121 Online Coaching with The Running Hub  Watch us on YouTube Follow us on Instagram - @therunninghubcommunity  Shop our website www.therunninghub.co.uk

In this weeks episode we discuss 'base building' a term widely discussed in the running world, with sometimes not enough understanding.  Base building became very popular after an Australian coach Lydiard had huge success with some of his athletes in the 1960's.  A base building period forms a stage of your training plan before getting into the specifics of half or full marathon training. In this weeks episode we discuss what it is and how to execute it correctly.    Sponsor James for Valencia Half Marathon and enter to win a free year of coaching -  https://pandasfoundation.enthuse.com/pf/james-down-trh   We have a few slots open for coaching, so if you want some support ahead of your Autmumn races, get in touch!  Apply for 121 Online Coaching with The Running Hub  Watch us on YouTube Follow us on Instagram - @therunninghubcommunity  Shop our website www.therunninghub.co.uk

In this weeks episode we will be focusing on how to transition from winter to summer training.  A lot of people will be finishing spring races and moving into their next training block with the summer challenges coming up ahead. This time can feel a little difficult to navigate through, but we wanted to provide some motivation and inspiration to get you excited for the rest of the year.  We also answered some of your questions including:  How long should you be in a base building phase for? And what sessions to focus on.  How many days a week should you be training after returning from injury? What sessions to be doing if you're training for a 5/10k to then move into an Autumn Marathon. How to best phase into summer training in terms of heat / hydration / effort and what to expect in terms of heart rate? How do you increase stride length?    We have a few slots open for coaching, so if you want some support ahead of your Autmumn races, get in touch!  Apply for 121 Online Coaching with The Running Hub  Watch us on YouTube Follow us on Instagram - @therunninghubcommunity  Shop our website www.therunninghub.co.uk
