Laura G. just dropped a 3.5-min #halfmarathon PR — and it happened because she trusted herself, not her watch.
The early splits looked fast — she’d never run a sub-7 mile in *any* race. She stayed present & trusted her training.
Six sub-7 miles in one race, after never cracking the barrier before.

#Running training should revolve around YOU — not the other way around.
That’s the core of what I do as a #coach: evolving training around your fitness, stress, schedule, and goals — not just a race date. Research backs this up — adaptive training is more effective and more sustainable.

Easy runs aren’t “junk miles” or just “recovery runs.” They’re a core pillar of fitness.
They build adaptations you can’t get from harder efforts — like new capillaries and mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell!).

➋ No time for the full workout–I should rest, and try tomorrow.
I wrote a post to help–in my profile. Let me know if you’ve felt this!
