Q&A: Treadmill efforts/Adding run days/Training balance/Back spasms

Oct 28, 2021

On today's podcast, Brodie answers all the questions flooding in from the Run Smarter Patrons! Here are the questions Brodie will be answering:

1. Is there a higher perceived effort when running on the treadmill? If so, why?
2. As a low mileage runner, how can one add a running day without exceeding capacity limits? How can we do this safely?
3. When factoring in the 80/20 intensity rule. Can low intensity cross-training, hiking, walking be factored into the 80%?
4. I always think I need to follow a run training plan. No matter what distance, for the variety (sprints, hill repeats etc). Is this wise?
5. Should back spasms follow the same return to run principles as other running-related injuries?
