Just wanted to share that I thought this was really great and helpful! It started while I was in the midst of two races about a month apart which is usually tricky & somewhat gloomy from a training perspective. And yet! On the other side of it, I feel I'm a more curious runner which was a boon. Refining aspects of my routine (like keeping a journal) gave me a better launchpad to challenge myself, be it with more miles or new routes. Accordingly, I'm looking forward to the "offseason" to, yes, revisit the routine aspects (including strength training), but also find new routes, new races, and, sooner rather than later, a new journal. Thanks, Paul!
Thanks Pierce! That was the reaction I was hoping this series would make. It's not a how-to, it's a why-to. Love to hear about your progress. Keep it up!
