Planning Your Year as a Runner - getting ready for 2026
In this episode, Hayles and Jussie kick things off with a laugh (and a slight wardrobe malfunction you’ll see!) before diving into how to plan your running year like a pro.

From setting big race goals to mapping out your training blocks, they chat through how to build a running calendar that keeps you motivated and balanced with enough rest to avoid burnout.

They share real-life stories from listeners, honest chat about running guilt, and their own training plans for the year ahead. You’ll walk away with practical tips on goal setting, race planning, and how to mix up your runs with speed, recovery, and tune-up races all while keeping the fun in running.

Whether you’re chasing your first 5K or planning a marathon season, this episode is your roadmap for a strong, happy, and sustainable year of running.
