Some big goals on the horizon this season for my athletes as well as myself. Your goals should be big enough that they scare you a bit. Something to give you that extra motivation to get out of bed when things are tough and you don’t want to.

Just remember to set some milestones along the way to give you some smaller victories and a way to chart your progress. And above all else embrace the tough times and enjoy the good ones.

Inquires for coaching are open

A little mix of speed and strength this morning for @simba_runner at Buffalo park.

Fartleks are a great workout to improve speed, endurance, and mental toughness. Odds are no race will be paced perfectly even. You have to deal with varying terrain and surges. Fartleks help get you ready for just that. The sudden burst in pace allows you to increase your speed while the slower pace allows for recovery and improve the body’s ability to run at higher intensities for longer.

You can make fartleks fit almost any workout scenario.
- 1 min on/1 min off
- 800 on/800 off
- 3 min on/90 sec off
- 1 mile on/1 mile off

Try keeping the recovery portion at an honest pace for even more bang for your buck.

Going to do a baby ultra this weekend and try not to be an ultra baby about it. Why am I doing it? I’m surprised too. I guess I still like this running thing.

Headed off to Michigan for the US 25k Chsmps this weekend. Not sure what I’m expecting, but excited to push my limits and seeing what I can get out of myself on the day.

It’s been awhile since I could go and have a good day at a race. After some small setbacks/injuries I got to get back out there this past weekend and put together a good effort and shock the system. Making some steps in the right direction and having some fun in the process. taken in Sacramento, California by @iancarter94

Training isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Felt like l was running through a storm. Not a thunderstorm, but a storm of fists raining down on your head. Blasting you in the face. Pummeling you in the stomach. Hitting you in the chest so hard you think your heart’s gonna stop. But I live to fight another day and looking forward to the next one.

After getting a little foot injury I’ve been sidelined from running at the moment. But that doesn’t mean the training stops.

I like to try and cross train for 2-3 hours a day to keep up that aerobic base, and that way when I return to running it won’t be a huge shock to the system. @genucan gives me that sustained energy through a steady-release carb without causing the spike and crash in my blood sugar levels so I can keep pushing during these sessions and train for longer.
