Hey everyone and welcome to you today's episode of the run to the top actually Kibayor Daily Podcast.

My name is Haley Mann, one of the coaches here at Runners Connect,

and it is great to talk to you today.

I hope you're all having a lovely week and a lovely day.

Cool. So on to the topic of today's podcast. I'm going to give you my top five tips to

event injury that I've amassed over 20 years of running and a good 10 of coaching making some mistakes myself along the way which obviously help us to learn and

make sure we don't make the same mistakes again hopefully. So on to the first

tip.

My number one tip is to keep your easy days easy.

I have got this wrong before, and it's led to injury, and it's led to injury and it's led to a decrease in performance on my hard workout days.

So my mouth and paste when fit is around six minutes per mile.

Yet I've been known to do my easy runs at eight minutes per mile or slower.

In fact, the only times I've ever had an injury during my running journey

is when I've decided foolishly to start trying to run my easy runs a little faster.

Whilst I wasn't trying to run them that fast, I can say that it felt a little forced and that is not what you want.

I've since become convinced that easy runs are a, well even more convinced,

the easy ones are a feeling, not a pace. It doesn't matter what the pace is, so long as they feel totally easy.

You should be out to have a conversation, you shouldn't feel like

you're forcing or pushing the pace at all. They should leave you refreshed and not fatigued. And you know, for some of us that

might be just a little bit slower than American basis for others. We might

have to want to get two to three minutes slower than American pace and that

varies day-to-day as well. Don't think that just because your easy day, one day is this, it should be that another day.
