    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you have a fitness watch, you probably regularly get updates on your VO2 max. While historically not as accurate as lab-based tests, experts say watch data can help you get a sense of general trends. (Is your VO2 max improving over time… or not?) But zoom out beyond your own stats and consider that wearables have access to data from thousands of users. And that data gives us insights into larger-scale trends about what actually improves our fitness. So we dug into data from Apple Watch and Co

    Most New Runners Add Intensity Too Soon. Here’s How to Build Speed Without Getting Hurt. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As a physical therapist, there’s one injury-inducing mistake that Anh Bui, DPT, CSCS, sees beginner runners make all the time: “They’re adding intensity in way too soon without having an adequate aerobic base,” says Bui, who is also a level 1 USATF-certified coach with Run Resiliently Physical Therapy. “It’s like if you were going to lift weights for the first time, you wouldn't go straight into a one-rep max or even a five-rep max lifting routine.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Other than the fact that we run marathons, you may think that I—a thirtysomething amateur runner—don’t have a ton in common with the likes of Clayton Young and Susanna Sullivan. While they win races, I’m middle of the pack. In fact, both of these runners have completed a marathon in literally half the time it’s taken me. But dig a bit deeper and you’ll see some similarities between pros and recreational runners: To the best of our own abilities, we all care about optimizing our training plans, d
