How Over-Racing Impacts Your Running

On this bonus Run to the Top, we are going to talk about racing, and specifically over-racing. That's when you are racing so often that it's actually hurting your progress as a runner.

Now you might be wondering why I chose this topic, over-racing, right now just as some races are finally coming back after the pandemic. But that's EXACTLY why I think this is the perfect topic right now.

Races are coming back and we runners are so thankful and excited to get back to the sport that it's tempting to sign up for any and every race you can.

I'm the last person that is going to tell you that you shouldn't go race, be social, test your fitness, and hang out with your tribe of runners. If it's bringing you joy, it's probably good for you. We all could use a big dose of joy right now.

But if that's how you spend every weekend and you are wondering why your race times haven't improved in a while, or if they are getting worse, over-racing might have something to do with it.

RunnersConnect athlete Jon tells us how over-racing at the beginning of his running journey started to affect his ultimate goal, the marathon, and how he now uses tune-up races as a boost to his build up instead of a detriment!

Learn how you can incorporate tune-up races into your training in a way that they are beneficial to your bigger goal race and your long-term progress.

Or if you just love racing as much as possible, learn how you can transform those races into workouts that improve your fitness!
