I love running too : Thanks for stopping by! The answer to all of these questions is no.
The first step is to determine your goal race and then create a progression of workouts that build on your current fitness. Use support paces that you guessed it! Ask yourself, do I complete a regular strength program every week? Strength exercises help you become more efficient so you use less energy when running and the right kind of lifting can help you run faster. Some of us run every day and race a lot.
In a word, no! It all fits into the Principle of Progression :. Planned recovery is most useful after a difficult race like a marathon, when the damage goes far beyond muscular. Recovery also helps you adapt to your training.
Those are micro examples of recovery. On a larger scale though, you need a more prolonged recovery period to ensure your body heals itself from the trauma of long-term training.
Respect that cycle. The flip side to this topic is that some runners rest too much. For the majority of folks, weeks is the maximum amount of time that you should take off from running after a marathon. I LOVE the enthusiasm that runners bring to their training when they want to get out and race every weekend.
Some research shows that when sedentary individuals begin a new exercise regime, their heart rate can decrease by up to one beat per minute per week, but this may not be the case for everyone.
Reductions in heart rate can be highly variable, and for some, it may take up to a couple of months before they see any significant reductions in their resting heart rate.
For those who do struggle with high blood pressure, studies show that regular, moderate exercise can reduce systolic blood pressure by approximately 4 mmHg. This is significant because research shows a drop of 5 mmHg can reduce your risk of death by stroke by up to 14 per cent.
But how long does it really take to see results? For example, endorphins can be released straight after your first session for an instant mood boost. But other adaptation takes time. Beginners may notice physical improvements more quickly as the body soon adapts to a new training stimulus.
To get there, you may want to think about mixing up your sessions so your body is really challenged. Then add additional running sessions to your week until you have built the right consistency to see those extra results. As always, listen to your body and take it at your pace.
