How to plan the perfect running season? 🏃 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

The start of a new season is a time when we can master the year ahead to achieve our goals and enjoy both the desired results and the training process itself. Without a proper plan, it's easy to lose motivation, overtrain, or injure ourselves, preventing us from achieving our desired goals. So how do we create a plan for the next season that is both effective and safe? Here are some tips to help you plan the perfect running season.

1. Set goals for the next season.

2. Divide the season into stages:

✅The preparatory period,

✅The pre-race and race period,

✅Recovery period (after the spring race and the entire season).

3. Choose your starts accordingly:

✅Choose from a variety of race distances,

✅Planning your races at appropriate intervals,

✅Setting the date for your most important race.

4. Use the training plan:

Training variety . The plan shouldn't be based solely on long runs.

It should also include:

✅Interval training (to improve speed),

✅Tempo runs (to improve special endurance),

✅Long runs (to build or maintain endurance),

✅Recovery training (gentler running that aids recovery),

✅Threshold runs (at a fairly high intensity, but controlled).

5.Rest planning.

6. Adapting your plan to your current capabilities.

How to stay motivated?

Motivation is key to long-term planning. It's worth setting additional goals at every stage of preparation , celebrating every success, and not getting discouraged by possible setbacks.

How to plan the perfect running season?

Planning a running season to be the perfect one is a process that requires time, patience, and the right approach. Defining goals, dividing the season into stages, selecting races, tailored training, proper motivation, and taking care of your health are the foundations of an effective running season. With proper planning and then implementing these plans, we have the opportunity to achieve the goals we set for ourselves before the next season. This will not only allow us to improve our performance but also to enjoy running and fully utilize our potential.

Good morning ☺️

Today we start with a dry needling treatment.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling isa physiotherapeutic method of treating myofascial pain, which involves puncturing active trigger points with thin, sterile needles(painful muscle lumps). The treatment aims to relax tense tissues, improve blood flow, and quickly reduce pain. The name "dry" means that no medications are administered.

Shoes and spine health‼️

How does footwear affect your back?

Footwear has a significant impact on spine health and posture. This is why ill-fitting shoes can cause various health problems, including back pain, balance problems, and changes in gait mechanics.
How does footwear affect the back?
Let's take a closer look!

✅Heel height

The first issue that has a significant impact on spine function is the height of your shoe heels . It's common knowledge that high heels are bad for your back, but those that are too flat can also cause problems.

Heels that are too high, such as stilettos, boots or high-heeled ankle boots:

✔️They cause excessive strain on the spine, mainly in the lumbar region.

✔️They change the natural curvature of the spine, which can lead to back pain and muscle tension.

✔️They make it difficult to properly distribute the body weight.

Shoes that are too flat, such as flat flip-flops or ballet flats:

✔️They do not provide adequate arch support and can lead to foot pain and affect body posture.

✅Arch support.

The term arch support refers to a shoe design that supports the foot in the middle of the sole, where the natural arch of the foot is located.

Shoes without proper support, such as ballet flats or flip-flops, can cause excessive strain on the joints of the feet, knees and hips , which in turn affects the spine.

✅Depreciation.

Shoes with good cushioning protect the joints and spine from shocks while walking or running . A lack of cushioning, on the other hand, increases the risk of spine strain, especially during intense activity, such as long walks or sports.

✅Fitting your shoes.

Another important issue affecting the spine is the fit of shoes to the feet, specifically their length and width.

Shoes that are too tight can restrict blood circulation and lead to unnatural foot positioning . Shoes that are too loose can cause instability when walking , leading to improper body alignment during movement.

✅Materials and construction.

Shoes made of hard materials, such as too thick natural leather or low-quality eco-leather, can cause discomfort and increase muscle tension .

This is why it is worth buying shoes that adapt to the shape of your feet, for example made of thinner natural leather or fabric, because it supports the natural movements of the body.

✅How to choose shoes that are beneficial to spine health?

To ensure your shoes have a positive impact on your spine's health, it's worth remembering the following:

✔️Avoid heels that are too high – the optimal height is 2-4 cm.

✔️Don't choose completely flat shoes.

✔️Make sure your shoes provide good arch support.

✔️Invest in shoes for children and adults with good cushioning, especially if you walk or run a lot.

✔️Choose the right size – pay attention to toe space and foot width.

✔️If you have spine or foot problems, it's worth seeking advice from an orthopedist or physiotherapist.

It's worth remembering that healthy footwear supports not only the back but also the entire body, improving the comfort of everyday life and reducing the risk of unpleasant ailments. Good shoe choices are an investment in your health!
