I combined a little inspiration from David Roche and Conner Mantz for this workout. Recently, Connor did a tempo run followed by mile repeats, and David did 20×400. Now, I am nowhere near their level to do both of those combined, but I did manage an abridged version. I did… Read more⇢

Switched up the shoes today to the Hoka Mach 6 and got off the treadmill. The plan was a simple run; I just wanted to get some miles in with no continued pain in my right ankle. I got in 9.5 miles instead of 10 but can make it up… Read more⇢

Another 10 mile treadmill day. These get repetitive doing multiple days in a row but I am trying to keep it easy on the legs with the mileage increase. I did have a weird discomfort in the front of my right ankle so I am going to switch shoes for… Read more⇢

The day after a 20.5 mile run, I am a little surprised I could walk. Even more so that I could run. However, I felt motivated enough to tag along with my family to the gym. So, I hopped on the treadmill and got in an easy 9 miles. It… Read more⇢

I could have made every excuse in the book yesterday. I was up at 5am and didn’t get home, with time to myself, until 8pm. But instead of calling it a day, and lounging in front of a movie, I convinced myself to get in my long run! I am… Read more⇢
