Have you hit a plateau in your running? Despite doing all the right things, or most of the right things that you are supposed to be doing, you just seem stuck.

Maybe it’s because you're getting older and you think your better days are behind you. Maybe you need a new workout plan, a new coach, new shoes, or a new supplement to get you to the next level.

Or perhaps you’re just not finding the joy in your running like you used to.

Elisabeth Scott is here to help you change that.

On today’s Run to the Top Podcast, Coach Claire brought back the head coach and founder of Running Explained to help you finally break through to the next level in your running.

You’ll learn:

What you might be missing out on even if you think you’re getting your training right
Which aspects of your schedule might need to change and,
Why consistency and patience are so important in not only your growth but determining if you are even in a plateau in the first place.

Elisabeth is uniquely talented at making running concepts clear and accessible to everyone at every level and I’m delighted to have her back on the show.

If you are feeling like you are running in circles with your running, this one's for you.

How a Sprinkle of Sprinting Can Massively Improve Your Distance Running: Kieran Gillespie

All runners are not the same. Distance runners and sprinters really seem to be engaging in an entirely different sport. Tiny and lean elite marathoners are a stark contrast to muscular, powerful sprinters. Training for these events is vastly different and what it takes to be successful for a 100m sprinter is quite different than that for a marathoner.

Or is it?

Certainly it’s easy to find the differences, but I would argue that there’s a significant overlap both in the physical training philosophy, but the mental aspect as well. Most runners listening to this show are clearly on the endurance side, but there is a lot to be learned from the sprint side as well.

On today’s Run to the Top Podcast, I’ve invited on the creator of Sprint Science, Kieran Gillespie. Kieran is an England Athletics coach, with a degree in both mathematics and physical education. You can find him sharing his sprint training knowledge on his wildly popular Sprint Science Instagram account and that’s where I got hooked on his training advice.

On this episode, you’ll learn:

what it takes to train to be an excellent sprinter
how endurance runners can benefit from sprint training,and
the biomechanics of truly fast speed

And if you’ve ever wondered what on earth the fastest people on the planet are thinking about for a 10-20 second race, we’ll talk about that as well.

Knee Pain From Running: How to Fix it Forever with Brodie Sharpe

If you’ve been a runner long enough, some well meaning person will eventually ask you about your knees. Running is actually good for your knees, but if you’re the one who’s got knee pain on the run, that’s not particularly comforting.

So what can we do about this common injury in runners? Do we have to stop running completely?

Thankfully, the answer is usually no. But there’s a lot more to it than that.

Physiotherapist and founder of the Run Smarter Series and Run SmarterPodcast Brodie Sharpe is here to talk about it.

You’ll learn:

who is most likely to develop knee issues from running
what we can do to prevent and treat running pain, and what most runners want to know,
when you can get back to running again

Even if you’re one of the lucky runners who has never had knee pain, this conversation will help make sure you stay that way.
