Are you someone who knows what you should be doing, but finds it hard to actually execute. In a community full of incredibly driven, type A, highly productive and motivated individuals our biggest downfall can often be the ability to stop.

As we all search for that elusive 'perfect race', we come to realise that it's far from a straight forward process. We learn from our mistakes and try to replicate the things that go well, it really is a journey of trial and error. SFE client (and todays guest) Harry, joins Kriss for great chat off the back of his 'A' race at UTMB's CCC event. Over the past 12 months Harry's knowledge around his optimal training approach, management and prevention of injury and the sport of ultra running has grown enormously. He'll be the first to admit there are many things he still needs to learn but it's been his recent performances and the visible change in his approach towards training and competition that we can all learn from.

There's an ongoing narrative we regularly come across where individuals are confused as to why they are falling short and struggling with ongoing injuries. Simply put it comes down to the fact that they are trying to do too much (whether thats too far or too fast) with too little. If this sounds familiar, we need to start addressing where you're falling short; what areas are you're lacking conditioning and adequate strength in? Where do you break down biomechanically over time? and Where are your imbalances that are compounding and irritating your body? Essentially we've got to get you pound for pound stronger that you've ever been before. Keep up to date with my recent coaching insights - here P.S.

Do you know how strong you need to be? Often you set yourself a goal, a race or a particular time that you want to reach. But to give yourself the best chance possible of achieving these targets, clarity is essential. You need to be clear on how much conditioning is needed, where you're currently at in relation to this and what pathway of work you need to put in to get there. Remember working generically will only produce generic results, give yourself clear direction, accountability and a standard to work to and the results will follow.
