Welcome to the Durable Runners Hub!
This group has been a decade in the making for us. We're absolutely stoked. We've helped ~1,000 runners locally in Maine since we first opened our Running Specialty Physical Therapy practice Steady State Health 4 years ago. While we continue to grow locally, we've been working on building a better way to help more runners who are not local to us (this group and the many courses we're currently creating for the members of this group). Our goal is simple: help as many runners learn how to train injury-free as possible - and therefore living as full of a life as possible. In this group you can expect evidence-based & empowering education, a community of runners who are dedicated to consistency & longevity, and live support via Q&A calls exclusive to the Durable Runners Hub. Thanks for joining and stay tuned for much more content!

Resources from today's office hours
Today we chatted about super shoes, VO2max, zone training, and running by feel. You can find the recorded call in the "Open Enrollment Calls" section of the 'Classroom' above. Here's a nice short article around running by feel: https://runningforreal.com/steve-magness/ And attached is a handy endurance terminology chart that can help you learn to run more by feel. To better run by feel, practice assessing your RPE (I like 1-10 scale) during and post-run. If you're in the Find Your Steady State app - you can record your RPE post-activity. This does take practice! But notice in the chart how small changes in RPE yield big changes in zones. I also like to use the Approximate Time to Failure to help me learn what certain RPE and zones should feel like. Remember: we improve our fitness by spending time at effort NOT pace! This means that variables like shoes, wind, elevation, and your recovery status all play into whether you are pushing yourself enough/not enough for the desired goal of the run. While you'll inevitably need to adjust your pace to be slower to hit the same effort on a windy, uphill run - you may need to adjust your pace to be faster during a flat workout where you wear super shoes (to hit the desired effort for the goal). Not only does training by feel help make sure that you balance doing too much/little intensity - it also helps you keep your injury risk significantly lower. This is ultimately our main goal of the FYSS app - help people learn to better train by feel and be flexible with their training. Hope you can join our office hours next month! Feel free to submit questions anywhere in this online community beforehand - we will try to answer them as we see them!

Office hours with me tomorrow from 8:30-9:30am EST!
Come join! Post topics/questions as a comment here, or come with them tomorrow. We'll at least be talking about super shoes, but anything running/strength related is fair game!

Carbon plated race shoes
I hope this is the appropriate place to ask questions that perhaps others would like to see the answer. Do most runners use carbon plated running shoes for races? I am just learning about them now. Is your time really improved by 10sec/mile!? If so how do you mix the shoe in with training as you likely don't want a new shoe on race day?
