Want to run high mileage?

Don’t just train your lungs. Build a body capable of surviving the workload.

90+ mile weeks have taught me that running is only part of the equation.

🏃🏾‍♂️ Run consistently
🏋🏾 Strength train
🍚 Eat enough
⚡ Fuel your workouts
😴 Recover hard
🧠 Respect warning signs

Strength training and nutrition aren’t “extras” for me anymore. They’re part of how I stay healthy enough to handle the mileage.

Injury prevention doesn’t mean training scared…it means being intentional enough that you can keep showing up.

The best training plan is one that keeps you healthy enough to keep doing what you love.

100+ miles a week doesn’t mean ignoring pain - it means learning what your body is actually telling you. This is some info I wish I would have known

July 4th marked my last race in North Carolina for quite some time. I’m grateful for the ability and the people I’ve met along the way. Closing this chapter with such an incredible experience means everything to me.

If this path motivates even one person to believe in themselves and strive for excellence, then I’m elated. The result is only part of it … the race is the reward. Showing up every day, to the best of your ability, is what truly matters. #5k #10k #halfmarathon #marathon taken in Greensboro, North Carolina by @trainwithzaye

120 mile week.

18 easy miles + leg day. High mileage doesn’t mean skipping strength work 🏃🏾‍♂️

Huge month of training in August. Stacking weeks. No missed days, and by far the fittest I’ve ever been, praise God.

Always dreamed of being able to consistently run this kind of mileage. Now the goal is to maintain it, stay proactive with strength/recovery, and see how far I can take it without getting greedy.

24 pounds down after bulking last year…feeling so much stronger, fitter, lighter, and ready to rip.

Prayed for the ability, opportunity, and durability to do what I love most. All thanks to God. 🙏🏾

HUGE THANK YOU to @alherrington_ for fixing me up, teaching me about the importance of strength training, giving me homework 😂, and helping me to understand my unique muscle imbalances and how to stay proactive to avoid injury. I could not have gotten to this point without her.

No big races planned. Just intrinsic motivation and vibes.

Thankful to be able to afford all the food I eat & eating huge carb meals before major workouts (Tues, Thurs, and Sat). Nutrition is everything, especially running this much mileage to properly recover from intense workouts
