Episode notes

I am going to share with you my lessons learned to run faster and easier following my recent half marathon training block for my 28th half marathon.

I will tell you specifically how I have now been able to string together 2 straight half marathon training cycles getting nearly the same exact time: a 1:44:00 and a 1:44:08 shaving off two minutes plus from any of the 15 previous half marathon races over these past 6 years!

More importantly, I am the healthiest I have ever been as a runner, running more miles than I have ever run, and feeling strong during these races and able to kick at the end of the race to actually pass people and move up spots in my age group during the final 2 miles!

Want to know what I changed in my training? Tune in to hear the 10 lessons I learned during my recent training…AND if you stick around long enough, I am going to release for the first time on the podcast what I will be training for this upcoming fall (it may surprise you…)
