4 tricks to train decently

in an athletic club rather

than alone

It is possible to follow a structured training plan while still running with your club or training group. There are four challenges to consider when balancing these two goals.

First, the training plan should have flexibility, allowing for adjustments to accommodate club sessions. However, maintaining the overall structure of the plan is crucial for achieving physiological adaptations.

It's important to train at your own intensity rather than trying to match the group's pace. You can modify intervals to align with the club's sessions while still achieving similar physiological benefits.

Incorporating strength training is also essential, ensuring proper technique and periodizing it to complement your running plan.

Lastly, avoid cherry picking sessions from different plans and stick to one consistent training program to maintain focus and avoid overtraining.
