Last week we talked about avoiding common race blunders. Today, we lay the blueprint for actively succeeding on race day!

Glenn Cassidy and Edwin Leary of Saint Benedict’s Prep School join us to discuss the 55 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail which all freshman embark on as a capstone project.

From pre-race anxiety and cramming in too much last minute work to starting out too fast, we cover the most common ways people screw up their races!

Some might be considered “hot” takes, others are decidedly lukewarm. But these are the trends we’re noticing (and not always loving) in running right now!

Don’t skip past this one just because you aren’t running 100 mile weeks! Overtraining can happen to anyone, regardless of training volume. Here are the signs, symptoms, and causes, with some fixes and preventions thrown in for good measure.

Your questions have been stacking up so we’re diving into them today! Highlights include:

• Supershoes
• Marathon Prep
• When to “retire”
• Why warm ups matter!
• Pre-race excuses

The heat and humidity has arrived. How should we go about accounting for this in training?

Last week we decided that Brakken needs to suck it, sign up for a race, and start training seriously. Today, we build him a 16 week training plan designed to address all the deficiencies he’s developed over the past few years of half-assed training.
