The Importance of Checking Your Running Training Plan
It’s really important to check your running training plan regularly. Trust me, doing this can change how well you perform and how excited you feel about running. Here’s why you should do it:
Looking at how you’re doing helps you know what is working and what isn’t.
Are your times getting better?
Are you reaching your distance goals?
If you see you’re not improving, it might be time to change your plan a bit. For example, if you’re running 30 miles a week but aren’t getting faster, you might need to add in some speed workouts or run up hills.
If you run without checking your plan, you might feel really tired or lose interest.
If you start to feel drained, take a look at your plan. You may need to lower your miles or make some runs easier.
It’s important to balance tough running days with easier days for recovery. This is something I often forget!
As you get better, your goals might change too.
What once felt like a big challenge might now seem simple.
For example, if you trained for a 10k and did great, why not aim for a half-marathon? Regularly checking your plan helps you adjust your training to reach new goals.
Looking at your training plan frequently can also help you spot signs of overtraining or injuries.
If you notice pain in your knees or shins, that’s a sign you need to rethink your mileage or how hard you’re training.
In short, checking your running plan often keeps you on track, motivated, and helps you stay injury-free.
It's all about listening to your body and making the right changes along the way!
