4 Reasons Your Training Plan Will Fail (and what to do about it)

Published: June 16, 2023, 4:01 a.m.

It\u2019s that time of year again when most runners are starting the real meat of their training plan.

The summer has started, you\u2019ve had your few weeks of building back into a plan, and now the real work begins.

At RunnersConnect, we work with hundreds of runners each season and one of the big benefits of that is how much data we\u2019re able to see every year.

We\u2019re able to see huge patterns across what type of training runners are doing when they start training for their race, what types of training and plans they\u2019ve done in the past, and of course what\u2019s worked and what hasn\u2019t.

In today\u2019s episode we go in-depth on 4 of the biggest issues we see when looking at the data and give you some helpful tips on how to make sure you don\u2019t succumb to the same mistakes.
