The biggest running mistakes from our expert coaching team

It takes a lot of hard work and talent to become a professional runner or coach but even the best of us make mistakes. In this episode, our expert team from RunnersConnect are sharing their biggest running mistakes so you can learn to avoid making the same ones. Training for a big goal can be overwhelming but RunnersConnect is built on the idea of community and of bringing runners together to learn from each other to progress as athletes. We've all had bad workouts or messed up fuelling in a race or long run. Our coaches are no exception, so as they share their own biggest training mistakes we hope you'll learn lots while maybe even getting a laugh or two. I'm excited to hear from the RC team so with that I'll hand it off to Cory to introduce our panel for the day.
