Been AWOL for a bit, forgive me! Building back into training has been anything but simple since Grandma‘s. A couple nagging injuries have shown up here and there, one I’m still currently dealing with. However, also got to do some really cool s**t like going to Europe, doing some awesome bike rides, living life a little bit, and doing all of that not always feeling like I have to fall asleep 😂.

The past few weeks training has felt really, really good. Hoping that this hamstring injury clears up soon so I can continue the work as we prepare for the @freepmarathon half marathon in October! Absolutely cannot WAIT for fall temps, colors, and training vibes. I can already see myself napping on the couch with an NFL game on. Glorious.

PS sorry to continue to post about the Puma shoot, just will never truly be able to comprehend that it happened. Sorry for being insufferable about it! 🙂 by @_dmtrains

Confirmation bias is sneaky and quiet, often going unnoticed until it’s too late. Giving ourselves a chance to let the workout (or life) come to us helps us to reduce wasted energy and give ourselves the best shot to succeed.

Mental health care and performance coaching seldom have to do with one, big fix or “intervention.” Often, it’s small things that we utilize to continue to help correct course when we start to drift. I find myself using this visual all the time (paired with a big ol’ diaphragmatic breath) to help my body release and move through tension held within, rather than trying to just “outthink” it. Do you do anything to help shift gears out of stressful situations?

No matter where I am, as long as my feet are on dirt and I smell the trees and soil, all will be well.

So many small wars take place between our ears when we’re uncomfortable or on our limit. Those who know how to to approach and work with those battles are often the ones who end up performing consistently at their best.

Adding a temporary clause/condition to our internal dialogue can take so much of the permanent, often scary edge off of those uncomfortable thoughts. When we win these battles, the war is usually ours soon after!

Part five of the series with @momentumperformance_aa to learn more about strength training, specifically for runners, so we can all learn practical ways to implement it into our training schedules to be the best and healthiest versions of ourselves. This episode is focused on frequency of lifting while sustaining training volume!

As this series unfolds, if you have any specific questions for Kimmie regarding strength training, feel free to drop a comment below! 👇

Practicing “going to sleep” or, said differently, showing your mind how to slow down and settle even in discomfort, is a strategy utilized by the best of the best. When marginal differences decide who will win, conserving energy and regulating emotions in intense environments often correlates with who will come out running their best.

Mike Smith said it best when he coined his term “go to sleep“ and this is something we can all practically apply to our training to make us better for those longer races that we run!

Been OOO recently. Injuries, vacation, summer heat, just fell out of the rhythm a bit. Now we’re back at it getting ready for a race this fall. First real long run back: 16 miles steady in the proper humidity of the Midwest. This man may be old, but he ain’t quittin’!

Excited for this block ahead and getting back into the real grind!!

Unfortunately because of this my list of cities I will eventually live in has grown to about 30. I don’t know how I will get to all of them in my lifetime, but for the paths, I will do my best.
