I have two races on February 16th. The first race is a 10K. My running coach is using this race to determine if I am on course with my upcoming marathon. The second race is a fun run, The Hot Chocolate 5K Race. I have raced so little over the past two years, I am experiencing a GREAT deal of trepediation.

I suppose it is good that I have a coach because I would probaby do something really stupid with my training and risk injury or talk myself out of doing the events.

Cross Training:

  • 20 minutes weights

A running coach - that's new, right? Good for you. I think you'll find that very helpful.

That Pure Barre workout is tough for sure. I've done variations of it, thinking it's no big deal. It is. Will pay dividends in the running game, however.

I could not get past my foot injury from last year so I hired a running coach. Happy New Year to me! Right?

My coach has been AMAZING! I am learning so much about proper training volume, pacing, and rest. He is working with my strength imbalances to prevent future injuries. The entire experience is just super motivating and inspiring.
