Quick reminder to watch your step, not just your mileage when running, because all it takes is one wrong step and boom there goes your ankle. Speaking from experience lol

I swear by using HRV as a guide. If I were 26 (instead of 46) I could do whatever and recover quickly. I’ve found that when I am “green” I know I will have a good and productive workout.

Entering week 4 of my training block and so glad that this is a recovery week. Absolutely love this design. This is my second time following Ben’s L4 plan, but doing it in the summer is so much harder than in the winter. I am barely hitting any of the goal paces and really not sure how things will turn out in the fall

I started doing magnesium capsules two times daily just for anxiety (alongside vitamin B, theanine, zinc, and vitamin D), and I noticed that one of the best benefits was my muscles felt like they could recover a big quicker than before

I'm still using one of your training plans. Sometimes I take in magnesium before sleep. I also try to pay attention to overall stress (including work load etc.).

I finally have an appreciation for easy runs, after getting two stress fractures in 12 months. Injuries can undo so much of your hard work and it gets demotivating trying to build back up

probably the most useful video for me, cause i was consistently doing 5ks then suddenly did an 17 k and i got patellar tendonitis

Currently training for the first time according to Ben's plan (half marathon), very good results so far! So happy that found and pick it! Absolutely recommend!
