On this episode of the show I’m chatting with Amy Feit, who has knocked more than an hour off of her marathon time in the past eight years.
Amy Feit
Clearly, that’s pretty impressive.she’s also done it while working a full-time job and managing to keep her family first at all times.
But even more impressive is that she’s done all of the training while working full-time and keeping her family first.
Today I’m going a few easy miles with fellow running coach James McKirdy.
James McKirdy
James has been active for most of his life, and in high school was a part of several successful high school cross country and track teams.
His cross country coach, in particular, was a great mentor for James and his interaction with his coach shaped how James works with the athletes that he coaches to this day. Read more
Do you keep a running journal?
I really don’t. For the past few years, my “journal” has been nothing more than a calendar with my mileage written down for each particular day.
So basically, I haven’t kept a journal.
But that’s going to change.
I’ve decided that next year I’m going to keep a better running journal, so I can look back with a bit more accuracy at past workouts and use those experiences to help me improve in the future.
In this video, I’m talking about the reasons I haven’t kept a journal, the quote that is making me rethink my lack of a journal, and the things that a journal can help me (or any of us) overcome.
Do You Keep a Running Journal? Why or Why Not?
I’m definitely a big believe in using a foam roller for the therapeutic benefits that it provides.
That said, using a foam roller isn’t exactly a “fun” experience.
In this video, I’m talking about why the foam roller works, what exactly it does, and why you should invest the $15-20 to buy a good foam roller (affiliate link) and use the dang thing!
Are You a Believer When It Comes to Using a Foam Roller? Why or Why Not?
Many runners don’t do as much strength training as they should.
Yours truly included.
But if their is one area that runners really make an effort to address is building a strong core.
A strong core will do more to help you improve as a runner and safeguard yourself against injury than any shoes, coaching, or “miracle cures” out there.
Yeah, it’s that important.
