Anything from how to stay motivated and get outside in all weathers, to small changes you can make to your running technique to improve finish times.

Fabian's Running Tips

  • Avoid the intensity grey zone! 80% of all training sessions should feel really easy, so train at a pace at which you can definitely still hold a conversation.
  • Focus on recovery. Very often recovery is underestimated. A stressful day at work, for example, can slow down recovery. When training, it’s important to remember that your body needs more sleep and time to rest.
  • Don’t forget strength and balance training. Focusing on strength and balance is especially important for a healthy and injury-resistant body.
