Is your body prepared to handle the training “stress” you place on it?
Whether a professional or an amateur, strength training is an important part of your running and racing schedule.
The reality that most races are done on harder surfaces like asphalt and concrete leaves most runners at a loss as to how to properly train for such events. Some questions to think about before you begin training for such races:
How will my body react to such long term stress?
Does my body distribute the effect of the load efficiently?
What forms of recovery/strength can I implement to take advantage of my time away from my sport?
Will learning how to sprint short distances make me a better long distance runner?
These are just some of the questions one can ask of themselves prior to embarking on their road race season. Unfortunately, most people go down a different path and wait for injury to find them. The Road Race Ready program and assessment stacks the odds in your favor and helps you avoid such easily avoided pitfalls, by, first giving you an assessment to map out the current state of your body. From there we create the full plan for your entire season, taking into account mobility, strength (in season and pre-season) and specific race goals. A smart runner usually only has one season with injury and learns with the right help, Road Race Ready gives you those tools for a lifetime of running health and competition, no matter the level you are currently at. Road Race Ready has helped High School and College level athletes reach peak times without injury as well as helping the casual road racer stay injury free and run their best, even with the lack of time that a full time work/life schedule allows.
