Train Like A Mother

Besides talking through/slightly complaining about running in the July heat, Coach Liz and Dimity talk heart rate zones — and how to thread the needle of them; what workouts to prioritize on vacation; and how to fuel properly for long runs (hint: it's more than you think you need!).

Train Like a Mother Club coach Amanda Loudin and Dimity touch on all the race distances from 10K to the marathon, answering questions on everything from race pace vs. training pace; how to execute tempo runs (such an elusive fox!); and end with advice for the Zermatt marathon, a beast of a race that climbs over 6,500 feet! (Go get 'em Amy!)

Join Train Like a Mother Club coach Elizabeth Waterstraat and Dimity as they talk through a variety of topics, including the basics of lactate threshold (and how to mentally hang on during those tough workouts!), as well as why your calves and Achilles tendons might be a little sore as you transition to heart rate training.

Train Like a Mother Club 5K Coach Jenn Gill + Dimity talk through the ups and downs of training for a 5K, including accepting the (plentiful) mediocre runs and how to deal with a packed schedule—and when to squeeze in a short run and when to let it go.

Getting ready for some the triathlon season, Coach Jennifer Harrison + Dimity talk through swimming-related workouts, including where to find a helpful on-deck coach, how many form things you can focus on at a time (hint: it's less than two), and how to prepare for the open water when you only have a pool. (Note: if Dimity seems a little out of it, she was; the stomach flu was knocking on her door.)

Among other things, the duo cover how to pick the right race for you; what kind of prereqs, both mentally and physically, an ultra requires; and why conservative (not crazy!) mileage is actually key for a great training cycle.

Heading into the off-season for triathlon, Train Like a Mother triathlon coach Jennifer Harrison + Dimity talk about frequency over duration, the key for improving before structured training begins again. In addition, they duo talk at length about Ironman races, which 140.6's are best for beginners, and why flat bike courses can be surprisingly challenging, especially if you have to empty your bladder on the fly.

After chatting about her helicoper ride out of the UTMB in August, Train Like a Mother Ultra Coach Stephanie Violett tackles questions from her athletes: how to move efficiently through an aid station (hint: it takes some prep!); how to dress so that weather doesn't become a factor; and why the step up from 50k to 50 miles is much more than just 18 or so miles.
