Our Guiding Principles:
At Flying Feet, we approach running with a set of tried-and-true principles that, with sustained effort, will result in measurable progress. Scroll down for a brief overview of these principles.
1) Persistence trumps intensity.
Training consistently over time leads to better results than training hard for short periods. Training must be sustainable to be beneficial.
2) Run easy, often.
The basic benefits desired for running performance are gained by running at an easy, conversational pace.
3) Every workout has an intended purpose.
Each workout is designed to gain a specific physiological response.
4) Following a plan improves outcomes.
Runners will achieve better results when following a well-constructed plan.
5) Make your mind an asset.
Concentration and having a productive mindset should be practiced routinely.
6) Invest in durability.
Running-specific flexibility and strength work allows runners to minimize muscle imbalances, improve mechanics, and reduce the risk of injury.
7) Recovery is a part of training.
Your body captures the benefits of hard training while at rest.
8) Make running fun.
Running should be playtime. Show, feel and bring joy!
