    You're fit, but you're not perfoming

    Welcome back to Coffee and a Cue! In this episode, we’re talking about a problem that many runners face. You’re fit. You’ve been consistent. But your performance still isn’t where it should be. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Fitness is only part of the equation. If your training isn’t structured toward performance, you might be missing key elements that make the difference on race day. We’ll look at common training mistakes that hold runners back, even when they’re in great shape. We’ll also explore how factors like sleep, nutrition, and technique play a role. These areas are often overlooked, but they can have a huge impact on how you feel, how you recover, and how you perform. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clearer picture of what might be missing in your approach and how to adjust your training to match your goals.
