Running with Jake - The PLODcast 047 (Stetsons, man flu, and being ’too fit' for your legs!)

Welcome to your weekly dose of running motivation.  

For the second time on the plodcast we speak to running coach and ex-GB athlete Jo Wilkinson.

The curious question we’re asking on today’s show is ‘can you be too fit for your legs??’. As an elite athlete Jo did more than her fair share of strength and conditioning exercises. However, her running was still interrupted at key points by injury. Looking back she can’t help but wonder what she might’ve achieved if she’d have really fully understood the concept of being too fit for your legs.

 

#AskJake:  Each week, we'll take one of your questions and Jake will answer it.  Today, Julie wants to know whether to follow "the 10% rule" when increasing mileage, or not.
