(1/3) Runners might feel this. 3 years ago I signed up for Berlin half marathon, prepped 3-4 weeks without any plan and ran 1:42. Nice! Last year, I was like let’s make a plan then! (In fact my partner got the plan to be fair). So I got this 50 bucks pdf about how to prep to run a half in 1:30 within 12 weeks. Berlin half is always beginning of April. I was super committed. Started training the first day of January and didn’t miss a session. After a few sessions though I already realized it was actually too tough. Remember limping in the office and asking @hellno.eth how he dealt with the pain when he was training for the full marathons!? He said he usually didn’t have any pain, which should have gotten me thinking. Well, I kept on pushing. Pushing too hard? Three weeks before the race I got the flue and couldn’t even walk 30 meters without loosing my breath. I fairly recovered, started at the race and barely made it to the end. All that work - no reward.

2/3 Next time I told myself would be revenge time. So in October 2024 I started prepping for this year! Super easy Zone 2 runs. A breeze. Then it happened. Again. Just differently. One dark November evening the front wheel of my Bianchi fell off!!! My left shoulder kissing concrete. Two days later every single muscle in my left shoulder and upper back cramped up like hell. What followed were two months of little sleep and no running. Ok January. Recovered? Shoulder kinda ok? No more pain killers? Yes? Can pick up training again? Aaaaaaand … got the flu. Lungs dead. -.-

I had the exact same experience the last 2 years. Ran 1h 33m 1/2 marathon a few years ago just training on vibes. The last 2 years I set a goal to break 90m, detailed training plans, even a coach. I've gotten 4 injuries in the last 2 years. This year I'm vibe training again (plus TONS of stretching)

My biggest unlock was: if you are not active in preventing injury (stretching, hydration, sleep, strength training, protein) you WILL get injured
