Welcome, distance runners! Whether you’re a seasoned marathon veteran or just starting out on your running journey, this blog post is for you. Join Team Chodat’s Coach Sophie Iacovelli for our NEW Distance Running class ‘RUN READY’, we’ll explore key strategies for improving your performance, preventing injuries, and reaching your goals.

A strong foundation is essential for successful distance running. Start by building your weekly mileage gradually, allowing your body to adapt to the demands of running long. Aim to increase your weekly distance.

Good running form can help you run more efficiently and reduce your risk of injury. Pay attention to your posture, footstrike, and breathing. Working with Sophie and our experienced coaches can help you improve your form.

Distance running is a journey, not a destination. By building a strong base, incorporating interval training, focusing on form, fueling your body, and listening to your body, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your distance running goals.

Did you know the run season begins in March 2025 however, if you want to be ready to compete you need to start training soon. We already have our eye on competing in some of these local races, so this is your chance to get a head start on your training and come together with likeminded people to smash out your distance running goals!
