As we know, running has lots of seasons or training cycles as we like to call them when we are runners who don’t just run for fitness, but train for longer races and goals. There is a time to focus on strength training, muscle gain and fat loss, base building, peek training for races, and then recovery. Since summer is usually hot, especially down here in the south, it is often a great time to focus on other things like more strength training to improve body composition, nutrition and weight loss if desired, as well as mobility and mindset. So, today, we're diving into the things that you you can focus on to be a stronger runner.

Remember that summer isn’t just for slowing down, it can be your secret weapon to have your strongest fall running and fitness season yet!

As we are wrapping up this month of May, I wanted to come on here and give you a little ½ marathon race recap since I ran the 10th Annual Badass Texas ½ marathon in Waco, TX last weekend. It was by far the most difficult race course I have ever run, and the hot weather made it extra challenging. As I am just a few weeks away from my goal race, Grandma's marathon, today I take you down a bit of a memory lane with my previous 6 full marathons and talk A, B, and C goals for race day.

I hope you enjoy this little chat on your run, walk, or drive today, and remember that you too can do hard things!
