This is episode two in a series of Training Tuesdays explaining our rationale behind the way we think about and execute various pieces of our training. Today: Speed Development for distance runners. How much, when to do it, and how to know what exactly you need as a runner.

We lay out our training and racing goals & aspirations for the coming season!

We’re kicking off a series of Training Tuesday episodes explaining our rationale behind the way we think about and execute various pieces of our training. Today: the Pre-Race Warm Up. Most people do far too little. Some people do way too much. Either way, we’re not telling just telling you HOW to warm up, we’re telling the REASON we believe you should warm up a certain way.

One of us did a lot of running and racing. The other did a lot of rehabbing and dreaming about racing. We both learned a ton.

• How often should you look forward to your runs?
• How often should you feel good during a run?
• How should running (or missing a run) affect your daily life?
• Does race performance affect your self worth?

Ian Hosek combs through the social media clips from our 2024 episodes and questions us about things we’ve said that he disagrees with!
