36 | Why Finding Balance is More Important Than Working Hard
About this episode
Striking the balance between hard work and recovery is essential to improving as a runner. Most athletes struggle to find the right ratio between stress and rest, which often leads them down a path of wasted energy, into plateaus, and towards injury. In this episode, Coach Chris Knighton explains the balance you need to find to become a stronger and faster marathoner.
This is the first episode in a series on the essential concepts of marathon training.
