Training Tuesday #51: Better Fitness Doesn't Equal Easier Racing! Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

"We don't train so that the race doesn't hurt, we train to tolerate it." - Michael Scott, probably.

Far too often, we improve our fitness and then go into a competition imagining how awesome we are going to feel, only to get smacked in the face by how much racing still hurts. Today's episode deals with every aspect of that, from mindset and mental tricks, to race strategy and training focus.

We spend the first 25 minutes talking all about the Running Public Training Plan that dropped today on therunningpublic.com. We explain the set-up and training style as well as how to use the plan. If you want to skip straight to the meat and potatoes of this episode, fast forward to 25:00.

Show notes

Bailey is the newest face on the world mountain and trail running scene. She only shifted to the trails in 2019 but has already established herself as the woman to watch in the coming years. Today she details her journey from child prodigy to stagnated race times, an eating disorder, unhealthy coaches and finally to personal health and competitive excellence!

Training Tuesday #50: Bad Coaching Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Online Coaching is one of the easiest ways for people to start making money quickly. The fitness industry is overrun with bad coaching, and the Running community (OCR in particular) is not immune to this. If anything, it is worse than most other industries. Way too many unqualified coaches are taking advantage of unsuspecting clients.

Warning: Today is one giant rant. We identify the key pieces to look for in order to ensure you are finding a good coach and we identify the classic tactics used by bad coaches. We finish by shouting out the coaches we know are doing it right!

Episode 50: Hunter McIntyre - Back to His Roots Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

Fresh off his Hyrox World Championship victory, Hunter has set his sights on the first race of the Spartan US National series. He discusses his training and mindset for being able to transition successfully between such vastly different competitions (OCR->CrossFit->Spartan Games->Hyrox->OCR). Good luck listening to this one without getting pumped up to train and compete!

Training Tuesday #49: Mental Flexibility Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

We preach "the process" on this podcast (plan, periodize, execute, etc), but life isn't all about linear progressions. Races pop up, opportunities present themselves, and plans sometimes need to get changed. Kirk and Brakken are each going through that right now, so today they dive into the importance of not being held captive by your training plans. Mental flexibility is an important skill that the best athletes in the world share; here's how to enact it yourself!
