If something goes wrong in your training plan, what do you do? Do you panic or do you roll with it?

When you line up for a race, what’s going through your mind?
Are you looking at it as a challenge? An opportunity to see how well you can perform?
Or do you see it as a threat, fearing failure?

For what seems like my entire running life, I’ve always heard about how certain aspects of one’s running form are sure to cause injuries.

It’s the time of the year where we’re planning out our racing seasons for next year and setting our goals. How do you go about setting a good goal, though? You want a goal that will challenge you without feeling overwhelming.
In other fields, you may have heard of SMART goals. I think the SMART goal concept works very well for runners. But how does it apply to runners? Continue reading “SMART goals for the runner”
It’s that time again! Your opportunity to ask me anything you would like. As I’ve mentioned before, this is always one of my favorite things to do.
