s1/e13 The "Rules of Running" (& when to break them) with Alison Staples
About this episode
This episode was a total blast to record with Run Coach & Under Armour Running Ambassador Alison Staples (@alioop_0_o_runs on Instagram!) We went through some common "rules" of running and discussed if it was an *always* rule or if or when you can "break" that rule!!
Some of the "rules" we discussed...
Always follow a hard day with an easy day
Never increase your miles by more than 10% each week
Run most of your miles in your easy effort zone
Build your base before adding speed
Replace your shoe every 300-500 miles
Never run when your pain at rest is 3/10 or greater
A 180 cadence is the best cadence
Alison Staples is an RRCA-certified running coach, a global run ambassador for Under Armour Running, the Co-Leader of Baltimore Based Run Club Riot Squad Running, and has been featured in Runner's World and Self Magazines!
