• ELEVATED MOMENT - ask to send there’s and it will be a sharing moment
• JUDY - making it happen in Boston training. Running inclines, getting back to feeling 100%. OVER RUNNING / OVER STRESSING her body ... learning how you can run strong and powerful by slowing down, doing less, and allowing the body to rest.
• IG: Jesus: I finally got back to running and making progress - running almost 8 miles. I know it’s not a lot but it’s better than nothing.
• YAY! You did it, the celebration of all your hard work is complete. With CIM, Houston, Mesa .... Your upcoming spring race.

The opportunity for stronger, faster running is available to us all. With an understanding of key adaptation principles, as well as the strategies which best support tempo training, all athletes can make noticeable progress - the kind that elevates performance and enjoyment!

In today’s episode, we discuss three types of workouts (steady state, lactate threshold, and vo2 max). You will learn why each is uniquely important for your training, while also building an understanding of how to tackle the stressors of each workout.

Additionally, we dive deep into a discussion on strides and the overwhelmingly positive benefits of incorporating strides, perhaps the most basic form of speed workout, into a regular running regime!

This week’s episode will surely get you thinking about your training in all the right ways; and we hope that you move forward with confidence, knowing you have all that it takes to become a stronger runner in the coming season.
