    #360 - Why Easy Runs Should Feel Easy (And What It Means When They Don't)

    If your easy runs feel harder than they should, this episode will tell you exactly why. Coach Meg Walker unpacks one of the most common and damaging mistakes in running training and explains why it keeps runners permanently stuck in a zone that's too hard to recover from and not hard enough to drive real adaptation. When easy runs feel hard, the pace is often not the problem. Meg breaks down the three real reasons easy runs feel harder than they should and why none of them are solved by running more. Topics covered: easy run pace, polarised training, running zones, training fatigue, running recovery, underfuelling runners, low energy availability, hip flexor mobility, strength gaps in runners, why running feels hard, aerobic base training, running training mistakes.

    #359 - The Missing Piece In Your Marathon Training

    Most marathon training plans get the running right and leave everything else out. In this episode, Coach Meg Walker breaks down the four pillars that standard plans consistently overlook: mobility, strength, fuelling, and mindset and why neglecting any one of them is what separates runners who arrive at the start line ready from those who just hope to make it to the finish. You'll learn why marathon running mechanics break down in the final 10 miles (and how to fix it before race day), what strength training for runners actually means, why chronically underfuelling is sabotaging your adaptation, and the consistency mindset shift that matters more than any single perfect session. Topics mentioned: marathon training plan, marathon preparation, strength training for runners, running mobility, hip flexor tightness, marathon fuelling, endurance nutrition, low energy availability, running mindset, spring marathon training, injury-free marathon.

    #358 - Why Runners Get Injured (And It's Not What You Think)

    Why Do Runners Keep Getting Injured? The Fitness vs. Tissue Tolerance Gap Explained If you're a runner who keeps getting injured despite doing everything right, this episode is for you. Coach Meg Walker breaks down why most running injuries aren't caused by what you think and why the real culprit is almost always a gap between your cardiovascular fitness and your connective tissue's ability to keep up. You'll learn why tendons, ligaments, and fascia adapt far more slowly than your aerobic system, why that gap keeps widening without the right training, and what to do differently to stay injury-free long term. Topics mentioned: running injuries, overuse injuries, IT band syndrome, Achilles tendinopathy, tissue tolerance, strength training for runners, injury prevention, load management, connective tissue adaptation.

    #356 - Why I Created Strong & Prosper: The Gap in Running Coaching Nobody Is Talking About

    Most runners have worked with a run coach, a strength coach, or tried to figure it out alone. Very few have worked with someone who genuinely covers all three pillars - strength, mobility, and running (plus the nutrition and mindset work that holds it all together!) In this episode, Meg Walker shares the real story behind Strong and Prosper: the gap she kept seeing in the coaching industry, her own experience of training for over twenty-two marathons and an Ironman while working full time, and why she built a coaching programme designed for athletes who are also full human beings with careers, families, and real lives. If you're a runner thinking about a spring race and wondering whether now is the right time to invest in proper coaching support, this episode will answer that question. Topics covered: why most runners are missing the mobility piece, how strength and running knowledge need to work together, the difference between surviving a race and thriving in it, why September is the most important month for spring race preparation, and how to build a body that stays injury free long term.

    #354 - Why Mobility Should Be A Priority For Runners

    Most runners treat mobility as an afterthought. But mobility isn't a nice-to-have. It's what determines whether your body can hold its mechanics together when fatigue sets in and everything is working against you. In this episode, Coach Meg reframes what mobility is actually for and why mile 18 is where it really matters. The Strong & Prosper application form is linked below. It takes two minutes to fill in, and Coach Meg will be in touch to chat and see if the programme is the right fit for you. Please make sure you are following for more!
