👀👀👀Your easy run might not actually be easy. 🧐🧐🧐

We see it all the time: runners who have a pace they consider their “easy pace” — and they run it no matter what. 😬

But your body doesn't know what pace it's supposed to run. It only knows the demands you're putting on it. 🤯

✔️✔️ An easy run should be based on effort, not a number on your watch.

Here's what that means:

🔹 Heat, humidity, hills, and fatigue change the equation. The same pace that feels effortless on a cool, flat morning can become a moderate effort when it's 85°, high humidity, you're running uphill, or you're carrying fatigue from the week. Your pace may slow down — and that's exactly what should happen.

🔹 You should be able to control your breathing.
An easy run should generally allow you to speak in full sentences without feeling like you're working to get the words out. If you're constantly pushing to hold your “easy” pace, you're probably turning recovery mileage into another workout.

🔹 Heart rate can give you another measure of effort. For runners who regularly train with a heart rate monitor, HR can help provide context when pace isn't telling the whole story. If you're running your usual easy pace but your heart rate is unusually high, that can be a sign that heat, fatigue, dehydration, stress, or other factors are increasing the demand on your body. Use heart rate as a guide — not an absolute rule — and look at it alongside how you're actually feeling.

🔹 Easy days are supposed to support your hard days. The purpose of easy mileage isn't to prove how fast you can run when you're tired. It's to build aerobic fitness, accumulate volume, and allow you to recover enough to actually execute your quality sessions.

Your easy pace isn't a performance metric.

[ It's a tool. ]

Some days, easy effort might be 8:30/mi pace. Other days, it might be 9:30/mi pace. And sometimes, it might be even slower.

The goal isn't to run your easy days faster. ➡️➡️The goal is to make your hard days better.

Young athletes are asked to do a LOT.

School. Practice. Games. Strength training. Travel. Homework. Friends. And they're still growing on top of all of it.

So when it comes to fueling and recovery, we want to keep things simple:

→ Eat enough (and hydrate)
→ Fuel around training
→ Prioritize sleep and real rest
→ Pay attention to patterns

It's all part of the training plan.

Want to understand more? We've broken down the basics of fueling + recovery for young athletes on the Omega Project blog. It is a TRUE deep dive into the topic you don't want to miss!

Stretching before a run isn't a warm-up.

Touch your toes. Hold the quad stretch. Pull your knee to your chest.

Now you're ready to run… right? 🤔🤔

Not necessarily. 🤨

A warm-up should prepare your body for the specific demands of running — and that means more than simply increasing your range of motion.

Here's what your warm-up should actually do:

🔹 Increase temperature and blood flow.
Your muscles perform differently when they're warm. A few minutes of easy movement gradually increases circulation and prepares your tissues for the work ahead.

🔹 Move through the ranges you'll actually use.
Dynamic movements like leg swings, walking lunges, skips, and controlled drills can prepare your hips, knees, ankles, and trunk to move through the positions running requires.

🔹 Prime your nervous system.
Running is a coordinated, repetitive movement. Strides, skips, and running-specific drills help your nervous system transition from “sitting at my desk” to “producing force and controlling movement at running speed.”

Static stretching isn't inherently bad.

It just isn't the same thing as warming up.

Before a run, the goal isn't to become as flexible as possible.

It's to become ready to run. What are your favorite warm up drills? 👇🏻

⚠️ Feeling tight doesn't automatically mean something is wrong.

↪️Runners often feel tightness in their calves, hamstrings, hips, or back and immediately think:

“I need to stretch.”

👉🏻But tightness is more complicated than that.

Sometimes it's a problem.

Sometimes it's a response.

And sometimes it's simply your body adapting to the demands you're placing on it.

↪️↪️Here's what we want runners to understand:

🔹 Tightness can be a normal response to training.
When you increase mileage, add hills, introduce speed work, or simply ask your body to do something it's not used to, tissues respond. A little stiffness or tightness can be part of that adaptation process.

🔹 Tightness doesn't automatically mean injury.
If you're able to move normally, train without pain, and the sensation resolves as you warm up or recover, tightness alone isn't necessarily a red flag. Your body doesn't have to feel completely loose 24/7 to be healthy.

🔹 Persistent or changing tightness is worth paying attention to. If tightness keeps getting worse, changes how you move, doesn't improve with your normal recovery, or starts showing up alongside pain or loss of function, that's when we want to understand why it's happening rather than simply writing it off.

So before you immediately grab the foam roller or spend 10 minutes stretching:

Ask yourself:

🔹Did I recently change my training?
🔹Is this a normal response that goes away?
🔹Is it affecting how I move or perform?

The goal isn't to eliminate every sensation of tightness.

The goal is to understand what your body is telling you. 🙌🏻

⚖️ When most people think about balance, they think about not falling. But balance is much more than standing on one leg—it's your body's ability to prepare for movement and respond when the unexpected happens.

These 2️⃣ abilities are called anticipatory balance and reactive balance, and both are essential whether you're an athlete looking to improve performance or an older adult wanting to stay active and independent.

➡️ This week, Dr. Kim breaks down these types of balance and why improving both can help you!! ⬅️
