Runners - Don't Fall for the Hype! - Zone 2 training isn't the only answer. - HIIT isn't the ultimate solution either. You need a mix of all intensity levels: - Lots of easy runs - Some moderate efforts - A bit of hard efforts The right balance depends on your goals.

Avoid the common new #runner mistake of overdoing it early. Pushing too hard can lead to burnout and injuries. Prioritize long-term consistency by starting with shorter distances and gradually increasing your mileage. Small, sustainable steps build a strong #running foundation.

RUNNERS! You don't need to be sore after every workout to make progress. Normal soreness can peak 24-72 hours after exercise and improves with rest. If soreness is severe or lasts longer, you might be doing too much. #running #runners

Beware of bad injury advice on social media! Advice like "just ice it," complete rest for runners, or simply stretching an injury can be inadequate or even harmful. Seek guidance from qualified healthcare professionals for proper injury management. #running #runners
