I think patience. I have never myself gone above 70 km per week without injuring myself, but I always increase too fast which works fine up to 60-70 km/week but above that I injure myself.

I just really enjoy running so it’s frustrating.

Hitting the gym to try proactively avoid future injuries now though.
