Episode 152: Fall Training Innovations, Rethinking Race Goals, and Trail Running Technique

In this week's episode, we cover a little bit of everything as athletes head into fall racing and the off-season. We talk about making strength training your "big rock" in the off-season, keeping some fun and unstructured intensity in your routine, and how to maintain enough running, biking, and swimming to set yourself up well for next season. We also share some tips for getting into trail running, including when to hike versus run, building technical skills, and learning to let go of pace. We also talk through knowing when a goal is no longer serving you and why changing your race plans isn't the same as quitting. Finally, we touch on marathon training stops, Boston qualifying heartbreak, life stress and injury risk, and the changing 70.3 landscape in the New England area. Check it out!
