1.Work closely with a coach (it’s always good to have a plan and have someone to roll ideas off of)
2. Follow your plan (don’t go rogue and try not to be persuaded to do something you probably shouldn’t)
3. Easy days EASY
4. Change your shoes regularly
5. Vary up your training locations
6. Avoid racing too much (especially races half marathon and up)
7. A small dose of focused strength and mobility goes a long way
8. Fuel appropriately ( no awards are given for under-fueled long runs and restrictive nutrition when it comes to performance)
9. Take a day (or two) off when you need to
10. Schedule planned breaks every 6 months (of 1-2 weeks)
