Now that we’ve chosen our race and race date, we need a plan to get there. Running coach Laura Frye joins us to lay out a training schedule that not only includes running but cross training (what?) and strength training (WHAT?!). We try to keep up with everything that’s new to us while barely containing our excitement about having someone to tell us what to do. Plus, Halloween candy update.

Sometimes everything’s firing on all cylinders and you feel completely self-motivated to get out and run. And sometimes you just need a goal. Right now, we’re in that second category. We face the block and make some very practical decision that will launch us into the next phase of the podcast. Plus, how far out is too far out to schedule a race and stay motivated to do it? Happy racing!

It happens to newbies and veterans, it happens because something significant occurs or nothing at all, it happens after a race or because you haven’t run one in a while. We all lose our motivation to run from time to time, and well…it’s Steven’s time. Anthony asks good questions as they seek to get to the bottom of why this is happening to Steven right now, and they both share practical tips on how to face the block and conquer it. Plus a ton of fun stuff along the way.
