Training Tuesday: Three Questions

Listeners submitted some good questions this week, so we choose three and drove on in:

1. When should I push through and when should I take a break in training? How should “improving “ feel?

2. How much should I use Pace as a metric for Quality Workouts when preparing for OCR?

3. I just cancelled my upcoming race and signed up for a different one a few months later in the year. Should I keep following my training plan or should I rework the plan based on the new goal?

Training Tuesday: Training Tuesday Long Run!

We have too many training items on our mind this week, so we’re covering multiple topics today! We start with the lessons we had reinforced to us this past weekend about pacing and racing in the heat, and then we progress to warm ups, race strategy, and mental toughness. 

Episode 347: Matt Groose

Matt was the best runner on Kirk’s college track team. He was a 4:00 miler and a 1:47 800m runner. In the twenty years since they last saw each, Kirk found OCR and trail racing while Matt dabbled in triathlon before becoming a National Record holder on the row and ski ergs. And today here they are, reunited on The Running Public!
