Manage episode 400555858 series 3436110
Join Jay and Angi in this enlightening episode as they unravel the world of running splits, a crucial concept for runners of all levels seeking to improve their performance and understanding of pacing. Whether you're eyeing a personal best or just aiming to finish strong, knowing how to effectively use running splits can be your game-changer. From breaking down what splits are and their types—like even and negative splits—to guiding you on how to track and use them to your advantage, this episode covers it all. Plus, we dive deep into the mindset that fuels consistent training and improvement. By exploring the metaphor of "the grass is greener where you water it," we emphasize the importance of self-growth through mindset and movement. Whether you're a seasoned runner or lacing up for the first time, learn how to leverage splits to enhance your running strategy, and discover how nurturing your own 'grass' with the right mindset and physical activity can lead to personal bests both on and off the track.
