Are runners getting better or just getting more information?

Today, runners know the words VO2max, Lactate Threshold, Zone 2, Recovery Score, HRV, and Running Power much more than the old days.

We have a clock that says almost everything.

There's a rehearsal schedule to load.

There are hundreds of shoe reviews.

There's information on what to eat, how to practice, and how many hours to rest.

But the question is....

Does all this information really make us "better"?

Because knowing Easy Run has to run slow,

Doesn't mean we'll be slow.

Knowing Recovery matters

Doesn't mean we dare to rest.

Having the best Training Plan

It doesn't help if we can't do it consistently.

Sometimes, the problem with this generation of runners may not be "not enough information."

But we have too much information to confuse what's really important.

We look at everything

Compare yourself to others all the time.

Change the rehearsal schedule according to the content just watched.

And always trying to find the best way.

Forget that the basis of development is always the same.

Practice to suit yourself

Continuous. Rest enough.

And learn from their own bodies.

Information is a good tool.

But information doesn't automatically make us better.

The people who know the most may not always be the best developed runners.

Maybe a real better runner.

Maybe someone who knows what information to listen to and what information to put down.

Because in the end

Running is not a race of who knows more.

But it is to bring something to know.

Apply it to yourself and do it long enough.
