COACHING 🌟

When asked about coaching whether it be our own personal coaches or our coaching via team elite we get asked about the relationship between coach and athlete, the coaching methods and beliefs and the benefits of having a coach. Having both experienced periods with and without a coach and now both having coaching relationships as athletes. We thought we'd write down some of the benefits of having a coach;

🌟 A soundboard. Having a coach means having a second opinion. They can see things you may not and vice versa. The combining of ideas & coming up with solutions together.
🌟 Perspective. A coach has the ability to look at the whole plan objectively & make adjustments. Sometimes when setting your own training you can be over invested and often over cook it or want to change it constantly depending on how you feel. A coach can often see the bigger picture before the athlete can.
🌟 Accountability. That little bit of extra motivation to get out the door 💪

We also have team coaching spots available if you're looking for indepth 1:1 coaching

Drop us a message if you have any questions

Marathon season is well underway but everyone always has the ‘what comes next?’ question afterwards and whether it goes well or not the immediate reaction is to always get back to it #grindculture & we’re here to say STOP!

Because shoes and fuel have changed the game in recent years - can you bounce back quicker? Sure. Should you? Hmm…

We think you should give yourself AT LEAST a week of focused recovery. You can run but it should be short and social. It should be coupled with good food, rehydrating, good sleep, mobility work, some physio treatment at the BARE MINIMUM! But also, give yourself some time to think, absorb and dream again regardless of the result!

Let’s talk….. about EASY RUNS!

We get asked a lot about paces, heart rates or zones for easy runs and there is a lot of potentially confusing information out there especially for someone fairly new to running but even for more experienced runners it can all feel a little overwhelming so using the famous saying we were told as young athletes

💋KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) we wanted to give you a quick rule to help you make a quick decision when out for your runs:

⚠️ If your plan is to run easy and recover you should be able to hold a conversation in the same way you would walking around. If you can’t or finding you have to use 3 word responses or catching your breath then you’re running too hard for a recovery run.

Feel free to ask any questions or if there’s anything you wanted to know just send us a DM or comment below! by @teameliterunning

What a better way to spend a Saturday night than running with friends, music, food, beer & prizes 🪩 🏃‍♀️

One big race at 8pm - adults and kids, a safe closed road, see the sights of the town and then food and drinks afterwards in the park! taken in Torrevieja, España by @teameliterunning

Debunking some of the worst running advice we’ve seen on the internet 😉🫢

Comment the worst pieces of advice you’ve ever seen or been given ⬇️

1️⃣ ‘Bank Time’

Unless you’re an 800m runner or a sprinter - ‘getting out hard and banking time’ in the first half is a guaranteed performance killer!

Sometimes. Occasionally. You’ll get away with it on the right course and/or if you’re in very good shape but it’s not the most efficient way to run an endurance race and it will come back to bite you more times than not. It almost never works in the marathon and that second half becomes loooooooooooong 😂

Our advice: start at a pace that you believe you can maintain on a B* day - then once you’ve settled into the race you can decide whether today is the day and you can always pick it up but if today isn’t the day you don’t completely blow your race out the water and can adjust accordingly rather than your body adjusting it for you with zero control.

2️⃣ #NoDaysOff or ‘grind culture’

😡😤

If getting up at 4am and dipping into ice cold water and then going out for a 20miler in your carbon shoes does it for you and you enjoy it. Great. Crack on but the idea that it’s the only way or even the best way is ridiculous.

The best training or lifestyle plan is the one you believe in, it meets you where you’re at with clear progression, the one you can stick to over a long period of time, includes training you enjoy.

& don’t get us started on #NoDaysOff - as @officialkeane16 says ‘Relax’

Our advice: Enjoy your training and your life. Happy runners are fast runners. We all run because we enjoy it (most of the time at least) - work hard and have fun!

3️⃣ Random people on the internet telling you one running style is superior.

Yes a physio or coach may give you certain exercises to help you make slight adjustments or to strengthen certain areas or patterns but on the whole it’s very very difficult to make real change to someone’s running style. You run how you run. The drills and strength work help you to hold it together under fatigue but if you’re a heel striker you’ll never be someone who becomes a toe striker regardless of how many A skips you perform.

🗣️ Quote by Robert Collier

Lots of information out there about ‘consistency being key’ & ‘building brick by brick’ - I even believe we spoke about making a cake on here once 🤔

But it’s true especially with marathon training -

Of course you can smash things for a few workouts and weeks and you may get some results and there is a time and a place to really hit it and go for it to raise that ceiling or at least see where it might be however the true progress and the raising of the floor is in the months and months and years and years of consistently putting one foot in front of the other. That’s what holds you up when you do pick up an injury or an illness or if things start to go a little sideways on race day - your base that you’ve built over time is what holds strong and allows you to hang on or return quicker and stronger than before so don’t neglect or take those steps for granted and when you’re in the thick of it - keep going - it might not be impressive work but it’s the stuff that matters 💪🏽

Could one conversation improve your next race?

Whether you’re chasing a PB, training for your first marathon, or feeling stuck but unsure if full 1:1 coaching is right for you - this is your chance to get our feedback without committing to ongoing coaching.

We think so.

Every runner has blind spots. Sometimes it’s your recovery. Sometimes it’s simply that you’re doing too much—or not enough.
Sometimes it’s just a few tweaks and a fresh set of eyes that make the difference.

That’s where our Training Review Call comes in. For the cost of 1 months coaching:

🏃 We review your recent training block or your last marathon build.
📞 We meet with you for a one-to-one support call to go through and find out more about you, your training & goals.
📝 You will receive a personalised report highlighting 3 key areas that we think will have the greatest impact with practical advice you can implement straight away.
🌟 As part of this package you have up to 7 days where you can ask us any questions via email or WhatsApp if there is anything you’re unsure of.

📩 DM us or comment “REVIEW” to find out more and book your call with us! by @teameliterunning
