Goal setting: It's something that we know we should do, but do we always do it? And if we do, are we setting effective and appropriate goals that are pushing us to succeed or setting us up for failure? When we look at our lives and want to improve our health, our running, or just our life in general, we should be setting goals. In this episode, you will learn: What are 3 big challenges when trying to set an appropriate goal? Why is fear a good sign when setting a goal? Why not achieving your goal is a good thing What are 4 keys to setting good goals What are some specific considerations when setting goals as a new runner What our personal running goals are for the new year And how it all connects to our lives outside of running (this one is pretty obvious) We hope you enjoy this one!

What the heck is periodization of training? It's a fun vocabulary word that refers to cycling your training plan. If you are shooting for a goal race, or if you just want to keep improving and getting faster, training cycles are very important. Macro cycles are the big chunks of your training plan that have one goal in mind, like one season of the year. Micro cycles are the weeks within that larger macro cycle, where you vary your mileage and purpose of your workouts to make the most gains and avoid injury. Today's episode is chock FULL of some pretty technical stuff and guidelines on planning out your training cycles to allow your body to make the gains it needs to get faster. Cycling your training is also very important for injury prevention and to avoid boredom. If you like going out on a run just for fun, you might want to skip this one. It's pretty technical, so if that doesn't interest you, no biggie! If you want to learn some new ways to get faster and design a training plan to get you to a goal race, this is a MUST listen episode. Grab a notebook, because you'll probably want to take notes on this one! We talk about: The difference between macrocycles and microcycles The 3 important phases (macrocycles) of training: base building, speed building, and peaking/tapering The key things to focus on in each phase The purpose of each phase Example workouts for each phase The importance of drills, core, and strengthening in each phase How to successfully taper for a race And of course, how it all relates to our lives outside of running!

In case you hadn't heard, Kevin and Angie are high school cross country coaches. Kevin has been coaching for over 10 years, and Angie joined the team a few years ago. We just got back from the state championship last weekend, so we wanted to think about what lessons we have learned over the course of the season and figure out ways to improve next year. Anytime we train, we should always take time to evaluate how it is going, what we have been doing, and how we can improve. We need to do that in running and in life, so we think this will be a helpful episode for anyone out there, not just people involved in cross country. There are some really great connections between being a part of the cross country team and how that applies to us as people, parents, spouses, and runners. In this episode, we will talk about: How each kid is different and why figuring out how to coach each runner individually and as part of the team is very important How each runner starts out with different ability levels, different levels of endurance at start of season, and different goals and how to integrate that into the training plan for the whole team How we use different motivational techniques for each individual The importance of setting goals for both individual and team Our training philosophy of quality vs quantity How we used strength training to reduce injury this year Why it's important to keep in mind that high school kids have growing and changing bodies influenced by hormones and how that affects their training abilities Why bones grow faster than muscles in growing kids and how that can lead to repetitive use injuries easily The emotional connection of the kids to the team and why this matters to each individual And like we always do, we talk about how these lessons apply to our life as real life runners and as real life people Thanks for Listening!!
