Today we chat about how to train for shorter distances such as 5k and 10k and how you might be able to get a PB in one of these if you are coming from a recent marathon or half marathon. We chat about our own experiences and those of athletes. Sorry for the fit of giggles near the start!

We also talk about our recent physio visits and Pauls trip to Endurolab for a lactate profile test. Here is a link to Endurolab where Tom can be contacted to book a test!

This week we go into how to recover from a marathon or ultra marathon. With a few big races that have just taken place we delve into how best to recover, the evidence base for the physical and mental recovery period and how you might feel in the days and weeks after a big race. There is often conflicting information about recovery periods so we do our best to sort the facts from the myths to help you all recover and get ready for your next big race! Here are links to the evidence we go through;
