Hydration is the most overlooked performance enhancer there is.

Whether you’re flying abroad for a marathon or training through the uk 🍂 winter — how you hydrate will make or break your performance.

Most runners think they’re drinking enough... but dehydration doesn’t always show up as thirst.

It shows up as:
👉 early fatigue
👉 cramps mid-run
👉 heavy legs
👉 or your pace suddenly feeling harder than it should.

Save this one, tag your race buddy, and start hydrating like an athlete — not a tourist.

You don’t run out of motivation… you run out of glycogen.

Feed your body, train better, recover stronger.

Your muscles store energy as glycogen which comes from the carbs you eat ➡️when you don’t eat enough or don’t refuel properly 🟰 those stores drop and so does your performance.

As you get older, you start to realise that strength isn’t about how you look…

It’s about how long you can keep showing up.

RECOVERY 💥

Here’s the simple formula:
👉 Carbs refill your energy tank (glycogen).
👉 Protein repairs and rebuilds muscle.
👉 Hydration + electrolytes keep your body firing.

If you skip this, tomorrow’s session feels flat, your muscles stay sore, and progress slows down.

Recovery doesn’t have to be complicated.
✅ Eat a balanced meal within 30–60 mins post training.
✅ Prioritise carbs + protein.
✅ Don’t forget fluids + electrolytes, especially after long/hot sessions.

Fuel smart = train stronger. 🚀

Running isn’t just about putting one foot in front of the other…

It’s about training smart, not just harder.

Here are 4 key running terms every runner needs to know:
👉 Cadence
👉 Lactate Threshold
👉 VO₂ Max
👉 Aerobic vs Anaerobic

The more you understand these, the more confident you’ll be in your training and the faster you’ll see results.

🚨It’s not just about what you eat the night before a run or on race day.

👉 It’s about how you fuel your body every single day.

Carbs aren’t the enemy — they’re your body’s #1 energy source.

Protein and fats matter too, but if you’re restricting instead of fueling, you’ll feel it in your performance, your recovery, and even your mood.

💪 Runners, stop making these mistakes in the gym…

Strength training isn’t optional — it’s what helps you power up hills, survive undulating courses, and finish strong. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Do’s ✅
* Build strength endurance — it’s essential for running performance
* Focus on quality lifts + accessory work
* Use structured progression and micro-cycles
* Keep your aerobic base runs year-round alongside strength

Don’ts ❌
* Don’t chase high volume (too many reps & sets)
* Don’t mix high-volume strength with high-volume threshold running
* Don’t train randomly without progression

💡 The secret: Progress weight/intensity first, then volume, and always balance with your running.

Save this 👊
