When you first start running, pacing probably isn’t something that’s on your mind. You simply step out the door or onto the treadmill and run, hoping to finish not feeling like you need to vomit. However, even in these early stages pacing is important, mainly because not going faster than your body can handle will lessen the likelihood of vomiting. And once you’re a little more experienced – starting to sign up for races or taking part in your local parkrun regularly – proper pacing becomes absolutely crucial to a controlled, successful run. For more info on why pacing is so important, we spoke to Tom Marshall.

MOAB 240- Founded in 2017, the Moab 240 was created in honor of distance runner Stephen Jones. The 238 miles (383 km) race begins and ends in Moab, Utah, after which it is named following the trail of the Colorado River. The course has 28,893 feet (8,807 m) of ascent, and covers desert basins as well parts of the Abajo and La Sal mountains. The course time limit is 113 hours. I first took cognizance of this monster of a race while I was reading David Goggins' book Never Finished. I never knew it was humanly possible to run this far and that such races even exists. A quick google search made me both excited and scared as I was looking at the course. The entry fee is $1195 and most seasoned runners partake in the race to prove their mettle. Destination Trail, the premier host of 200 milers, boldly claims, “200s are the new 100s.” More people than ever are committing themselves to attempting these mind-bending, quad-shredding distances, but nearly half of them will go home empty-handed and broken. The winner of a 200 miler will not cross the finish line until nearly 60 hours of continuous running. Most finishers will complete the course in 80-90 hours. Finish rates, on average across the races and years, hover around 60%. So do you have what it take to get that legendary buckle?

For the last ten years I have been helping people steer their success with storytelling I LinkedIn Top Voice I I Storytelling Consultant & SpeakerI Hachette Author I SXSW Presenter I TEDx Coach
12 January 2020, soon after I crossed the finish line of a 23 KM trail run, I asked around to find out if a friend who was also racing that day had won or not. I was so thrilled to learn, she had. On our way back to the hotel, I asked my friend who was smiling with a trophy in her hands, “ What goes through your mind when you are racing ?” She said, “ The difference between you and the person behind you is - you believe you can win." As a runner myself, I get the importance of self-belief but still, there were so many reasons why I did not want to tell a story of a runner in today's #thankgoditsastorysaturday 1) It is a sports story, not a business story. 2) There are so many versions of it online that had details not given in the book where I had originally read the story. 3) There are so many points to this story which one shall I build on? 4) It sounds like a self-help story, not a space I work in. Despite all the reasons I decided to make this today's #thankgoditsastorysaturday because I believed in the power of this story to inspire us and make us think about what our ultramarathon is and whilst running it, how we must never stop believing in ourselves. 📹All our previous Saturday Stories are on our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/gftM5JZc #narrativestories #storytelling #storied #businessstorytelling #corporatestorytelling #running #repost Stay Storied!

RUN MELBOURNE 🌆 2024 edition is in the books. A strong showing from the JET athletes who took to the streets of Melbourne 🏃 We are strong believers in using winter to build better athletes for racing season. As such we don’t call it an ‘off-season’ - which helps frame the mindset for athletes and coaches alike. Running events are popular during this period, which makes a running project an obvious choice, but there are many other viable options 🏋️ 🏊 At the same time we can both move performance forward and refresh the training approach - it’s a win-win ✅ #jetcoaching #beyourbest #running #triathloncoaching

When the IG stories are so good, you turn them into a post!!! Here we are with spring races done, summer’s officially here and the race schedule is pretty much done until the fall. If you have big goals for your fall races, this is your reminder that this is the time to put it that base work so that when it’s time to really get into the thick of it with training, prepared! So, Do the strength training - it’ll help prevent injuries. It’ll make you faster/more powerful Address your injuries - if you’re injured, go see your PT/doc. Don’t ignore them & think they’ll go away. Develop your speed - spend time getting dedicated speed sessions in. Yes, it’s hot. Drink more water, take longer rest breaks and suck it up. Improve your mobility - Stop walking like the Tin Man! Focus on flexibility/mobility drills. Move in all three planes (X,Y,Z) Do the strength training - not a typo. Repeating this, because it’s that important and will help improve your speed; improve your mobility and help you make less trips to your PT. What you do now in this down time will pay off dividends for your fall racing schedule. What’s your big goal for the fall? I’d love to know.

Introducing our new social Feature: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠/𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞! This week we speak to well-known elite runner Yolande Maclean We are thick in qualifier season, so we asked Yolande for her advice to those looking to qualifiy for Two Oceans Marathon and ComradesMarathon “My advice is to start of with the basics first..If you are looking to qualify you need to build a proper base, that you can work from. This basically means you need to be doing base training. In my opinion, a this means building good foundation of consistent mileage over five to six weeks at least, averaging a total of 50km to 60kms a week. If you planning to run these races, this is where you should be at least by now. Your mileage totals will slowly increase from here, and what better time as we hit ‘𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯.’ So if you haven’t raced a marathon since last year, use your first one as a starting point. Just go run it and see how you feel and how you coped. By doing this you will know where you are and where the work is needed going forward. Its always good to see where you are at after your first marathon in the new year, to give you a clear indication of what needs work, as you build to get the best qualifier possible. You can contact Yolande if you are looking for a coach or more in-depth advice, she has coached many to their Comrades goals and will no-doubt help you too! #RunningAdvice

Excited to share that I placed 2nd in my age group and 6th overall in my third half marathon! 🤩 Now, for the questions people really want to know the answers to: -How did I do compared to my other races? I was about 5 minutes faster, which doesn’t sound like a lot but felt like a big improvement 😅 -What was my gameplan for the race? Start fast, end faster (I can confidently say I did NOT do this and I definitely slowed down in my later miles) 😬 -Why do I have neon green compression shorts? To blind my competitors 😎 In all seriousness, I was a bit nervous before the race as I had a goal time I was aiming for. While I missed that goal time by about 45 seconds, it has shown me that my goal is achievable, so I plan to rest, re-group, and try to beat my goal next year! Incredibly grateful to my brother Brandon Lewke who agreed to run the race as well and my dad Reynold Lewke who was kind enough to help me train and cheer me on during the race. It is always so interesting to me how much faster people run on race day than we do in our practice runs which shows that we often are capable of more than we think we are. 😊 What's an area of your life in which your perspective has changed recently? 🤔 PS: Also next time I’m going to try to run with less bulky headphones and see if I can save a few minutes with that approach 😁 #running #mondaymotivation #brand30

FINDING MARGINAL GAINS Last weekend I ran the Derby Ramathon- a 13 mile race around my home city and managed to beat my half marathon PB by just 1 second… Just 1 second I hear you ask? But what this masks is the progress I’ve made in the same race over the past 3-years: 2022- 1 hour 47 2023- 1 hour 39 2024 - 1 hour 37 My year on year difference was 90seconds (which in running terms is huge) and I put this down to the marginal gains I have made to my preparations since last year. 1. Started training 6 times per week and mixed up my training across hill sprints, speed work and weights. 2. Nutrition- cut out all processed foods from my diet and learnt to eat well in days leading up to race day. 3. Made a race plan- set a goal, worked out the average pace I needed and trained at that pace for weeks. 4. Quit drinking alcohol last August so quality of sleep is better and greater energy levels. 5. Determination - as you can see in the lovely image below captured by the race photographer, pushing yourself to the absolute limits is not fun, but once you accept being comfortable with being uncomfortable, it gets you through to the end. Overall I don’t run to get PB’s, I run to make progress. My mantra is if I’m getting another year older, but running a little bit quicker, that can’t be a bad thing. #running #derby #ramathon
