Why does running more sometimes feel like you’re getting slower?

You’re doing everything right. You’re hitting your weekly mileage. You’re stacking your long runs. You’re getting your workouts in. By all accounts, your pace should be improving and your watch should be showing progress.

But you do not feel faster.

In fact, you might feel like you are actually slowing down. You finish your runs exhausted and in pain, wondering why your progress has stalled when you are physically stronger than you have ever been. It is a specific kind of frustration. You keep training harder, but the needle won’t move.

If you feel like you have hit a wall, the problem is not your work ethic. The problem is that most training advice treats every runner exactly the same. At Prehab, we know that does not work.

You are tired of the same generic advice

We see it all the time. A runner comes to us after wasting months on advice they could have found anywhere. Maybe you have been told to just do more clamshells or strengthen your glutes.

If those standard approaches worked for everyone, you would already be hitting your goals. At Prehab, we know that if a plan is built for everyone, it was not built for you. Your body, your history, and your goals are unique. Your training should be too.injuries.

The missing piece of the puzzle: Your efficiency

Have you ever actually measured your running efficiency?

You can get as strong as you want in the gym, but if your mechanics are off, you are essentially driving a car with the parking brake on. You are burning through energy just to maintain a pace that should feel easy.

Prehab shows you how to improve your times without having to get stronger. We help you stop fighting your own body. The Prehab approach finds the specific leaks in your power so that your existing strength actually translates into speed.
