  Oct 2, 20261h 4mS5

  Send us Fan Mail You trained for the race. You put in the miles. You did the workouts. But do you actually have a race plan? A great race doesn’t just happen because you’re fit enough to finish. How you pace yourself, fuel, hydrate, manage effort, handle the tough moments, and respond when things don’t go according to plan can make or break your race. In this episode of Running with James , we’re breaking down how to create a race plan that gives you the best chance of executing on race day. We’ll talk about: How to set realistic race goals ⏱️ How to determine your pacing strategy ❤️ Using effort and heart rate instead of blindly chasing a pace When and how to fuel and hydrate What to do when the race starts hurting How to avoid the biggest race-day mistake: going out too fast How to adjust your plan when things don’t go perfectly Why your race plan should be flexible—not rigid Whether you’re preparing for your first 5K, a marathon, HYROX, or your next big competition, the goal is the same: Don’t just show up fit. Show up with a plan. ️ Running with James — real coaching, real training, and real conversations about becoming a better athlete.

  You Asked. We Answered. No Filters. | Running With James

  Sep 25, 20261h 15mS5

  Send us Fan Mail What happens when you put James, Lauren, and Rocky in the hot seat and ask the questions they normally wouldn’t answer? This episode of Running With James is a little different. No training plan. No structured interview. Just three coaches answering questions about training, racing, fitness, personal life, pet peeves, embarrassing moments, unpopular opinions, and everything in between. Some answers are serious. Some are ridiculous. A few might get us in trouble. Who has the worst training habit? What’s our biggest pet peeve? What would we never do again? Who takes competition the most seriously? And what questions did we REALLY hope nobody would ask? You asked. We answered. This is Running With James… Hot Seat style.

  DO YOU REALLY NEED TO RUN MORE? — More Miles ≠ More Speed

  Sep 20, 202657 minS5

  Send us Fan Mail YOU DON’T NEED TO RUN MORE TO GET FASTER. Or do you? One of the most common pieces of advice runners hear is simple: if you want to get faster, run more. But is more mileage actually the answer? In this episode of Running with James , we challenge the idea that more running automatically leads to more speed. We break down frequency, volume, intensity, recovery, and the 80/20 approach to training—and why constantly adding miles may not be the smartest way to improve. We’ll talk about why runners often turn easy days into hard days, why your hardest workout isn’t necessarily your most important run of the week, and why recovery is part of training—not time away from it. Whether you’re training for a 5K, marathon, HYROX, or simply trying to become a better runner, there’s a good chance the answer isn’t “just run more.” More running isn’t always better running. And more miles definitely don’t guarantee more speed. So… do you really need to run more?

  YOU DON’T BELONG IN HYROX: Fun? Unprepared? Competitive? Does it matter?

  Sep 11, 20261h 4mS5

  Send us Fan Mail Who really belongs in HYROX? This week, we’re going straight into one of the more controversial conversations in the sport: Do you actually need to be prepared to do HYROX? What about the people who sign up just for fun? The athletes who show up underprepared? The people who aren’t chasing a podium, a qualifying time, or a personal best? Does HYROX belong only to serious competitors, or is there room for everyone? We break down where we stand on the “HYROX for fun” debate, what being “unprepared” really means, whether there should be a minimum level of preparation, and why the growth of HYROX is bringing a whole new group of people into the sport. It’s a little controversial. It might ruffle some feathers. But it’s a conversation worth having. So… who REALLY belongs in HYROX?

  STOP JUST RUNNING: 5 Ways to Get Faster in HYROX

  Sep 4, 20261h 16mS5

  Send us Fan Mail Think getting faster in HYROX means you just need to run more? Think again. In this episode of Running with James , we break down the 5 key areas you need to train to become a faster, stronger, and more efficient HYROX runner . HYROX is unique because you’re not running a fresh 1K, you’re running eight of them while your legs are constantly getting beat up by the stations. That means your training needs to prepare you for much more than just running mileage. We break down the five training “buckets,” how each one impacts your HYROX performance, and how to put them together so you can run faster when you’re already fatigued . Whether you’re training for your first HYROX or trying to take minutes off your next race, this episode will give you a better strategy for improving your running and your overall race performance. Stop just running. Start training to run fast at HYROX. ‍♂️ Support the show Become a member and support the show: https://patreon.com/RunningwithJames?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
