When you think about doing hill workouts, what image comes to mind?
If you’re like a lot of runners, hill repeats are the end all be all.
Now, I’m not saying hill repeats are bad.

If you’ve been paying attention over the years, you’ve heard me talk about yoga at least once or twice.
One thing I’ve not done is really dive deep into why yoga can be so beneficial.
A listener recently reached out to me and asked if I could do an episode to go a little more in depth about the benefits of yoga for runners.

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.

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.
