Doing the Basics Well

Happy New Year! Strap in, this ones a good one - and please don't talk to us about new years resolutions.This week Kirsty and I tackle the quagmire around motivation vs discipline, routine and consistency and try to work out how to make running more like Duolingo because we all love Duolingo right? There are some really interesting questions and comments from the listeners and we share why the language you use around your training is as important as your training itself and how doing the basics well will change the game.We've also got some suggestions for Ultra specific strength training - we'd love you to send us yours! Kirsty's book recommendations are available on her Instagram page which is @kirstyreade72 and please keep sending us your questions and conundrums and let us know what you think about consistency via our Instagram (@runningwontsaveyoupod) or on email runningwontsaveyou@gmail.com. We would also love you to leave us a review wherever you get your pods.Running Won't Save You is proudly sponsored by INOV8.

Om Podcasten

A podcast for people that hate running podcasts.Hosted by author, coach and ultrarunner Allie Bailey, Running Won't Save You aims to be the most fun it can be whilst also offering a bit of insight, some proper advice and (sorry about this) some coaching tips in a way that won't make you want to throw your phone in the sea.With a weekly rotation of incredible co-hosts including former GB athlete Holly Stables, WMRA expert and decorated ultrarunner Kirsty Reade and tea drinking climate hypocrite Damian Hall, Running Won't Save You is the antidote to the influencer fronted bullshit you might be used to. Gosh there is a LOT of that about, isn't there?Each series is loosely based on a theme that carries through all ten episodes, allowing listeners to take action and hopefully create some results for themselves wherever they are in real time. It's an actual helpful podcast because I'm a coach and that's what I do.As well as the useful stuff, there's all the usual nonsense that you should be used to with Bailey podcasts, including tales from the hill, light bullying thinly disguised as banter, race reports and briefings plus your listener questions answered by our experts every single week.Send us your suggested topics, questions, thoughts and feelings at runningwontsaveyoupod@gmail.com and follow us on instagram at @runningwontsaveyoupodSeries two's topic iiiiiiissssss COMPARISON!
