My Training Goals for Spring 2024



Spring is for planting seeds, lighting fires and refocusing. After finishing a big race, I always like to reorient myself and my training around a new set of goals. In this video, I take you with me as I plan out my next training goals.

  1. I'm sad I had to return the Hoka Bondi 8 😢. Couldn't handle the odd arch pressure. It's the only Hoka I can wear since it's their only 4E shoe. Ah well. Hope I'll vibe with the Bondi 9. On the flip side, I really enjoy the Cumulus 26. More than the Nimbus in fact.

  2. Completely agree with the structure workouts..I enjoy the run..when you start adding structure it becomes a job..even tho I run every day I wing it by how I feel..some days I feel fast,some days I feel slow..after a lifetime of going to work the last thing I want to do is follow a schedule..the only schedule I follow is my racing schedule..a 8k this morning and a 5k cross country thru a vineyard tomorrow..mixing up things keeps me healthy and uses different muscles for different races..I like to be in shape to jump into any race that comes along that interests me..

  3. I'll add the strength. I found this cool body weight progression workout. Maybe I should have linked it. Also appreciate your shoe finder because its helped me narrow my options. Being in Trinidad we don't have the option to try on a majority of sneakers and I rely on your analysis to narrow my decision. Big Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  4. Since there will be a few days between quality sessions, are they all going to be steasy or are you going to work in a zone 1 low zone 2 recovery run the day before quality session to maximize the workout ?

  5. I'm a big fan of strength training. When I talk about helping longevity, I'm doing it from the perspective of a 50-something, trying to maintain bone and muscle strength, as well as mobility, into my later years.

  6. I waited now 5 full days after my marathon afford at the 14th of April to do my first run again and get back into training 😍🙏 and that 18 k was really wonderful 🙌 Because it felt so easy like I ran 10 k or so 🙌 The body is such an amazing tool. I was so crushed after that race to be more particular my legs were so crushed and I came back stronger as I went in 💪💪💪
    I really need some time to get to your level yowana with like 100 miles per week but I‘m confident to reach that kind of training level with consistent effort and discipline 🙏🙏🙏 You show us that kind of mindset every day that is needed 😍 So thank you for that 🙏🔥
