For the past week, I feel like I have been on the all running channel all the time, and to tell you the truth, I’m kind of loving it. It’s been a while since I’ve been fully involved in running, and for now, it’s feeling pretty good. In a way, it’s feeling like home.
For starters, check out this article on 101 Greatest Running Tips. There is some really good advice in there!
With 12 kiddos on the cross country team, I am head coach of the biggest xc team the school has seen in quite some time! The team experienced their first ever Yasso 800’s this afternoon, and I had to contain my excitement over the boys’ team times. There is some serious potential there and I cannot wait until our first meet next week!
Though half of the girls’ team is back-of-pack runners, there are some seriously dedicated ladies. It was pouring rain during their long run last week and thought they were about 10 minutes behind everyone else, these two were out there getting in their workout.
To continue the all running channel, I am determined to gather the courage to attempt another marathon. I’ve played with training for one off and on the past year, but it’s seriously time to man up. Running with the cross country team to build my base, and having a successful 7-miler this past weekend, should help me get there. I’m not committing to a race just yet, but it’s definitely on the horizon.
Last, but not least, the Reset Burn started today! Part of the program is an optional 5k run plan full of interval workouts, which I adore (and you should too). I’m planning to modify those run days for marathon distance training.
I’m hoping to enjoy this run channel as long as I can (or as long as I don’t get bored).
RQ: Do you go through training phases? What all the time channel are you on right now?

I’m impressed that kids so young are joining in xcountry, at that age I played sports, but those distances looked like so much work. It’s probably your amazing coaching that got them into it!
Yea. It’s definitely a different sport for my school. But the kids on the team are really dedicated. They wanted to keep running through a huge lightening storm!
Wow – your cross country team is going to be so much fun to work with!!!
I do go in phases – I’m currently in a huge run phase but that will change in a couple of weeks when I rest a bit before my next ultra.
I am pretty excited about them. When is your next ultra?!
Do you have a specific marathon you’re considering?
I haven’t had a chance to look yet. Do you have any suggestions for 2-3 months from now?
Love this!!! I have been stuck in a rut and I am in the midst of marathon training. I don’t know why but all motivation to run has been drained. I’m hoping to get back on the wagon this weekend!!!
Marathon training is not easy stuff. You’re allowed to hit a rut as long as you get back into it soon.
