Quitting alcohol hepled me a lot for quicker recoveries and better sleep, so I can run more without overtraining.

@ThisMessyHappy Год назад

Definitely worked for me too! Alcohol free for 11 years now 🤟🏼🤟🏼

@jochippyy Год назад

Yes I'm thinking of doing the same maybe u just made me realise now is the time to do it

@slowloris1847 Год назад

I haven't quit totally, but as I've got older, alcohol has become much less important. I was fit and ready to parkrun on New Years Day after a party, simply because a little bubbly at 12 was all I had. Felt way better than everyone else on the first day of the year too!

@FlatToRentUK Год назад

@@slowloris1847 I was fit and ready for Parkrun on New Years Day as well, although avoiding alcohol on New Years Eve isn't hard when you have kids and you're in bed by 11... I didn't actually Parkrun though......because it was cold! Set a PB yesterday though!

@feetindagrass Год назад

Yaas! I noticed after I reached a certain level of fitness, a hard kombucha would make me sluggish overall. I quit alcohol and a few weeks later Runner's World+ had a doctor on promoting ZERO alcohol if you want to run at your best.

@daymonclayton6388 Год назад

Moderation isn’t really in my nature, so planned structure is very important for me. It helps me see that planned rest isn’t taking a break from my training but is actually an important element of my training.

@astonuk9403 Год назад

Well said just gave me a new perspective on it thanks

@toddboucher3302 Год назад

Right now nursing a lower leg issue. After a 20 mile long run went to the gym with son and did a leg workout. At 60 it was crazy. So here is a over training

@timeonfeet Год назад

Great tips. I've found seeing recovery and rest as part of training rather than outside of it really helps. Though it does require a bit of a psychological shift

@ThisMessyHappy Год назад

Agreed! So many runners have the mindset of hurting ourselves to improve but it’s both push AND pull! Takes a while to accept 😂

@SeeChadRun Год назад

THIS IS GOLD! So many great tips. I find that some weeks are better than others. Meaning, life stressors, sleep changes, training, family stuff, etc all impact my training. For me, I've become keen on listening to my body. I plan to run 6 days a week, but sometimes I'm feeling extra tired and so I choose to sleep in (maybe I'll do a few easy treadmill miles, but maybe not). Maybe I need to reduce my training for an entire week, and that's OK! Consistency is key, and that includes consistently taking care of the body and allowing it to recover, reboot, absorb training, or take care of other life stressors.

@accidentalactivist9633 Год назад

@bakerstreet7050 Год назад

great advices. To me HRV is the best indicator to understand when I'm stressed out and overtrained

@AMostlyFunctionalJess Год назад

It's a fascinating problem. I'm trying to gather a bit of personal anecdotal data on dealing with higher training volumes alongside autism and ADHD and a lot of symptoms related to low motivation and struggling to get out on runs kick in muuuch earlier. Interesting how varied the mental and physical responses to higher training volumes can be.

@jobanski Год назад

Last year I think I increased my training too quickly, and ended up injuring myself. Fortunately it was minor, but enough to knock me off my running goals for 2022.

@jennykeeping8918 Год назад

Just discovered your channel and have binged a heap! While i was watching youve uploaded this one! I just got in from a 16km run this morning. .... i planned a 10km and over-motivation means i clocked around 50% more distance than i planned for this week!! What a bloody coincidence, but thanks so much for all this information and first hand experience. New happy messy happy subscriber! 🤓 🏃‍♀️🔥

@ThisMessyHappy Год назад

Ahhh awesome! Thanks Jenny and welcome to the madness 😊

@mr.h.9103 Год назад

This vid came at literally at the perfect time. Cutting back my miles in February a bit, to let my body acclimate/recovery from a mileage push after coming of a serious injury. I started zone 2 running again in Mid November along with Physio work. Mileage went from 5 miles, if that, per week to 25 per week, over the last few weeks. My coach wanted me to take it easy in February and cut my miles back a bit to rest, and be ready for my first proper marathon block in over a year, starting in March. So far so good but the lack of runs feels odd.😂

@michaelhooley Год назад

Thank you so much for your content. Unreal advice!

@GrooveyBobby Год назад

The sleep issues seems to really affect me, excellent tips and a good reminder of what to watch out for, thanks as always 💛

@kophotography895 Год назад

Please look at the obvious sleep preventers ie Caffeine, Alcohol, Time of Day of Training, also lack of Vitamins, use of screens before bed etc. Best of luck

@FlatToRentUK Год назад

There's a few great podcast episodes out there (and I think he has his own now) with Matthew Walker who's a sleep expert. Hugely recommend watching them and trying to take what he says on board. Not only from the point of view of improving sleep for general life but also because it'll aid your recovery as a runner.

@FlatToRentUK Год назад

Really enjoyed that video. I started running last summer aged 46 and really enjoying it, always considered myself too big (6'7") and heavy to run without injury but have adapted to mid-strike and bought a load of Altras and only have calf soreness occasionally which is expected when you do that. But I've added running in to a schedule of mainly cycling, HIIT (spin class) and weights so hopefully that will prevent overtraining by keeping the variety up. Also bought a Concept 2 recently which will help. I am looking ahead to selecting an event or challenge to do to keep me motivated (although it's getting warmer again and that helps) so will have to look out for these signs if I decide to train for a decent length run. Appreciate the tips!

@amaditadicochea7502 Год назад

Thanks for another great video. I'm in that "blah" stage right now in my training. Mary's look in front of the kitchen sink is so funny.🤣 She seems so sweet. I can't imagine her ever getting mad!

I am still improving rapidly and not injured but i am sore and niggly when i was never like this, and I feel like i love the gym and running but i need a change from the scenery as it is getting a bit blah!! Decided im just going to do long walks for just enjoyment and to do some swimming or running in the water. Love the channel!! Marys amazing with her positive happy mood all the time!! Need to find some run friends too!! I

@michaelmacleod2665 Год назад

I got into running 9 months ago. Got hooked. December last year did 3 long runs in 3 consecutive days. Pulled my piriformis muscle under my glute. I ignored the advice to not go from zero to hero. And now it's been two months and it won't get better. Aches after 1 or 2k every time I go out. It is causing me some real anxiety now as I hear this is a bad muscle and may never fully recover. I've also just had to pull out of London marathon which is devastating. Anyone else had this injury? Bloody love this channel. It really helped me.

@gm2407 Год назад

I have begun running 3k morning and evening 5 days a week. I don't feel that this is beyond me so far. On the two other days, one is to be an off day and the second is to have one long run 5-6k. So that works out at maximum of 36k per week. I do warm ups and warm downs sometimes with weights. Not sure how sustainable this is but as 10 of the 11 runs are to and from work it gives me a reason to do it. Any day I want a change up I can just divide my distance into so many seconds at different paces and work on something that is not a long slow run.

@Nayz13 10 месяцев назад

Overtraining aside, I’ve found that the best way for me to not need a nap is to not hit the snooze button 5 times on the morning 😂 my guess is that it’s a cortisol issue

@bui340 Год назад

Sleep is nr 1 they say. For a good night sleep let's start the day with a slow jogg followed by a cold shower and then YOU WAIT before eating a couple of hours. The day gets perfect 😜

@steveb9658 Год назад

Great video as always guys 👌 I find it a tricky compromise when training. If I don't go out running, my mental health really struggles so have to find a good happy medium. Mainly I make sure that I run enough to keep myself "happy" but I make the majority of those runs easy so as not to physically strain myself too much

@ThisMessyHappy Год назад

A great way to look at it Steve 😊 and thank you

Mary looking annoyed with Ben… I can’t believe Mary ever gets annoyed with anyone she’s so nice 😂 During my training plans I’m usually feeling over trained but when I come out of my taper I feel really good. I’m currently training for Brighton and I had man flu for over a week and didn’t run but my first run back i beat my parkrun pb by 15 seconds but before that I was quite sluggish. Is feeling tired etc par for the course if you’re training for a race?

Nice "acting" Mary! Perhaps another aspect of over training could be that you are less considerate of others. The sign to look for is that your loved ones (who have seen you training for awhile) are saying "You're over training." My wife knows before I do.

@ThisMessyHappy Год назад

Hey Emily, it’s Ben here but I know what Mary’s answer will be. 2 of the main ones would be osteoporosis (or generally weaker bones) and being unable to have children. But lots of other hormone based ramifications. Not always, by the way. But possible side effects. Hope you’re ok 👍🏻
