What to Expect
I love and respect running. It is not a sport, it's a way of life. The people you meet quickly become your family. You get out what you put in. I believe that running can regulate a lot of what's going haywire in life. It's the best anti-depressant. It's the best fixer of moods. Contrary to what other sports will say, it's FUN! I want it to be fun for you too. So I expect you to respect it, but also enjoy it. It's frustrating getting into a new "hobby" and not know what to do. You make mistake after mistake and it becomes a chore that ain't that enjoyable.That's where I come in. I can analyze where you've been, where you are now and where you wanna go.
Proper Gear
There's a lot more to running than just shoes. We'll take a deep dive into running gear 101. Socks, shorts, shirts, hydration, anti-chafe, blisters, foot care, cold/hot weather gear. You're gonna get sick of me :)
Data Points
Where are you now? Do you even know? It's ok if you don't.
- I'll do a custom 3D foot/ankle scan, slow-motion gait analysis to see if there's any abnormalities in your gait.
- I'll dig into your last year(s) of training.
- Any injuries?
- I'll recommend a metabolic testing to get a baseline how efficient your body is at burning fuel.
- Nutrition: I'll recommend you work with a nutritionist to dial in what goals you want.
Process
"You don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems." James Clear
- I'm not a goals based coach, I'm a systems based coach. What does that mean? That means if you have a system in place and you are disciplined to follow that system and love it, the goals will come.
- Is it wrong to have goals? Nope. But it shouldn't dictate your life.
- James Clear also said that if you're struggling with changing habits, it's not because you're a terrible person. . .it just means your systems need work.
- We'll work on those systems.
Weight Training
Should runners lift weights? . . . ABSOLUTELY!!
- Weight training is just as important as getting miles in. Sometimes more important.
- The older you get, the more important it becomes.
- Abs/core work is a major focus.
- This will help decrease injury and build endurance. It's seriously that important.
