This short episode captures a conversation I had with Kara Goucher during the Rogue fall training kickoff a few weeks ago. In it, Kara provides an update on her situation during this uncertain time, and she discusses how she is staying motivated to train. Plus, she covers how she has dealt with uncertainty throughout her career including the lessons we can apply now. Finally, she ends with final thoughts for those who are looking to train for fall races but who aren't sure when or if those races will happen. Kara is always an inspiration, and I believe this conversation proves no different. I hope you enjoy it!

Episode #350: 10 Tips to Get Your Mind Right for Race Day

In this episode, I answer recent questions from listeners as well as themes from athletes that I coach. Today's questions:  How should I evolve paces over time and can I go too slow? What should I do if I have a bad workout or long run? How can I protect myself from dogs on the run? Should I do a 2 or 3 week marathon taper (or 1 or 2 week half marathon taper)? Is your training too easy (or too hard)??  To redeem the offer from this episode's sponsor, use the code ROGUE for 10% off on running apparel at Janji.com.

Episode #347: Assess Your Opportunity Areas

James Dodds and I had a little bit of fun with this episode, and we hope you enjoy it. We riff on 6 topics that have been the object of our recent coaching curiosities or ruminations. The topics range from the limits of easy aerobic volume to maxing out in-run carbs and to the science (and potentially hocus pocus) of advanced recovery techniques (and more).
