#10 How to break down your running year to avoid burn out or injury

<p><strong>How do you train for multiple half marathons in one year without constantly getting injured, burning out, or starting from scratch every race block?</strong></p><p>In this episode of Girl Can Run, Emma breaks down how to plan your year as a half marathon runner — whether you’re chasing your first 21.1km, building toward a PB, or trying to stay consistent between races.</p><p>We talk about why a 12-week half marathon plan isn’t always enough, how to structure your year with base building, speed blocks, race-specific training, tapers and post-race recovery, and why maintaining your fitness between races can be the difference between progressing and breaking down.</p><p>Emma also explains acute:chronic workload ratio in simple terms, why you shouldn’t increase volume and intensity at the same time, and how planning your year properly can help you build fitness, improve speed and reduce your injury risk.</p><p>Plus, a little life update on injury investigations, returning to training, and welcoming a new coach to the EMPWRD team. </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://form.typeform.com/to/Lu8a3T8M">⁠⁠WORK WITH US xx⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emma.younng?igsh=MXVuZDdkb29ubTh3aQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Emma&#39;s instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/empwrdbyemma?igsh=MWo2NmhycDY4ZjBzOA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EMPWRD coaching instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@emmayounggg?_r=1&_t=ZS-94wVVT4885R">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Emma&#39;s tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="">⁠⁠⁠⁠Emma&#39;s youtube</a></p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Injury Update and Positive News</p><p>10:12 Planning Your Year as a Runner</p><p>32:36 Understanding Periodization for Runners</p><p><br></p>

#9 Emma's injury update...

<p>In this episode of Girl Can Run, Emma sits down for a raw and honest life/running update after a week that didn’t go quite to plan.</p><p>After heading to Perth for race weekend, navigating a few unexpected decisions, and processing some news she wasn’t quite prepared for, Emma opens up about the messy middle of being a runner, coach, physio, and human all at once.</p><p>This episode is less of a “how-to” and more of an honest chat about identity, injury, uncertainty, and what it feels like when your body asks you to slow down — even when you thought you were doing everything right.</p><p>If you’ve ever had your plans change suddenly, felt frustrated by your body, or struggled with the vulnerability of sharing the hard parts, this one will feel like sitting down with a friend who gets it.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://form.typeform.com/to/Lu8a3T8M" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠WORK WITH US xx⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emma.younng?igsh=MXVuZDdkb29ubTh3aQ%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠Emma's instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/empwrdbyemma?igsh=MWo2NmhycDY4ZjBzOA%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠EMPWRD coaching instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@emmayounggg?_r=1&amp;_t=ZS-94wVVT4885R" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠Emma's tiktok⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠Emma's youtube</a></p><p><br /></p><p>00:00 Injury Update: A Personal Journey</p><p>02:53 Understanding Stress Reactions and Their Impact</p><p>06:09 Navigating the Confusion of Injury</p><p>09:10 The Emotional Toll of Being Injured</p><p>12:04 Seeking Answers: The Path to Recovery</p><p>14:59 Reflections on Coaching and Identity</p><p>17:54 The Bigger Picture: Running and Life Balance</p><p><br /></p>
