1368 QT Whenever Possible, Use Your Common Sense
From the outside looking in, so many running (and life) solutions are common sense.
But from the inside looking out? We have a tendency to overthink and overcomplicate a lot. (Maybe that's just me?)
Whenever possible, relying on your common sense to guide your decisions is a good idea.
Are you ready to take your running to the next level by working with a coach?

1367 QT: When a Running Opportunity Knocks... (Best Of-ish)
The opportunity to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in running is prevalent.
But if your typical reaction to trying something new in the sport is no, like it is for me, I'd challenge us both to honestly consider saying yes the next time opportunity knocks.
Are you struggling in a certain area of your training and would like to pick my brain to try and find a way to get back on track?
Schedule a consultation call and I’ll help you work through whatever is getting you down at the moment.

1365 QT Is it Pain? Or a bit of Discomfort? (Best Of-ish)
Is it pain? Or discomfort?
Should I run through it? Or take a little time off?
This is a question that is all too common in the running world. And sadly, it's rare that there's a clearcut answer.
Today I'm talking through some ways to help try to make the decision the next time you're struggling to decide if you're dealing with pain or a bit of discomfort.
Are you struggling in a certain area of your training and would like to pick my brain to try and find a way to get back on track?

1364 QT Simplify Your Speed Work, Maximize the Impact
Speed work is one topic where I get a lot of questions, almost all of them related to minute details.
Now, I'm not saying the details don't matter. But you can keep your speed work simple, and it will still be massively effective.
Today I'm trying to help you do exactly that.
Are you ready to take your running to the next level by working with a coach?

Many lessons in running are learned, and relearned, multiple times.
Taking the time to remember lessons learned can keep you on track and moving forward, especially when life gets a little crazy.
