Cutback weeks

When you’re in hard training, do you ever get to the point where you’re just dragging? You’re dead tired and nothing you do can get you feeling good again?

While sometimes we need to work through fatigue in order to come out the other end stronger, we also need to be careful to not get too deep into this fatigue tunnel. This is why I believe most runners would benefit from cutback weeks.

Inspired by the Olympians?

What an Olympics it was! I hope you were able to enjoy it, I know I managed to watch almost the entire track and field program and it was fantastic!

Are you feeling inspired by watching the Olympians perform their amazing feats? Feeling fired up and ready to step up your training?

Track and Field at the 2024 Olympics

Olympic Track and Field is just about here! It started with race walking today and events in the stadium start tomorrow. I’m going to take a break from my usual training focused posts to share some thoughts on enjoying Olympic Track and Field.

I’ll highlight a handful of events (and one athlete) that I’m especially looking forward to but I’d encourage you to watch all of them. Yes, I got my Peacock 1 month subscription so I can immerse myself in the Olympics and it’s a pretty small investment if you really want to go deep. So far, their coverage has been impressively comprehensive.
