Run Smart Without Overthinking
Description
We keep running practical by talking through how to organise a week, when to add structure, and how to use data without letting it hijack your head. Amanda Brooks helps us separate what truly improves fitness from what simply creates pressure, from shoe choices to Strava habits.
• practising early mornings to match race day routines
• building consistency first before heavier workouts
• introducing intervals by time and effort to learn intensity
• using perceived effort to protect easy runs
• treating heart rate as a tool not a judgement
• understanding why everyday runners need different shoe reviews
• avoiding injury surprises with carbon plated shoes
• starting with simple upgrades like proper running socks
• choosing Apple Watch or Garmin based on real needs
• using Strava for community without comparison spirals
• recognising real runner syndrome and claiming the identity
• resetting goals and timelines to bring back enjoyment
• respecting recovery seasons and adjusting plans when you feel great
