Higher Running

What sets Higher Running apart? It’s obvious we care. We don’t just make dynamic training plans, we actually coach. We care about how you feel, what you think, and what’s going on in your life. You matter to us as an athlete and person. Go to higherrunning.com/individual-coa… for more.

There's no such thing as the perfect "long run formula!" If you've heard of things like, "your long run should be 30% of your total weekly mileage," well, that's not always true. It's going to vary significantly by runner! Let Coach @SageCanaday explain... #runner #runchat

Progress doesn’t always show up the first time you try something new, like increasing mileage or adding speed into long runs. Sometimes the biggest gains show up the second time you commit to a smart, patient training approach.

The Detraining Effect: how does taking time off running affect your run performance? As we come out of the holiday season, maybe you took more time off than you planned, and that's OK! Coach @SageCanaday breaks down how taking time off can affect your running.

As a runner, should you train by TIME or DISTANCE? Here's why Coach @SageCanaday usually prefers going by miles! Of course, there are exceptions for long ultras or high altitude races when we would factor in time.
