When Training Feels Inconsistent (But Life is Full) w/ Coach Erin & Mich

From cross-country moves and inconsistent summer training to hitting a pull-up PR, we’re catching you up on life, running, and what registering for Boston really feels like (spoiler: it’s not always seamless). We also dive into fears about setbacks, how to reframe “starting over,” and why AI training plans may not always have your best interest in mind.

What You’ll Hear:

• Why one of us is celebrating 3x6 pull-ups in the off-season
• The reality of moving across the country mid-training cycle
• What went right (and wrong) with Boston registration
• Honest reflections on buffers, timelines, and the emotions of applying
• Reframing the fear of “starting from scratch” after big life shifts (pregnancy, injury, or long breaks)
• Our advice to athletes chasing Boston for the first time
• Thoughts on AI-generated training plans vs. real coaching — and how to use them wisely
• The new way we’re bridging the gap for runners who can’t afford 1:1 coaching
