You’re Not Self-Coaching, You’re Just Hoping Here’s what happens when you try to coach yourself without a system. You download that free training plan I gave you, thinking you’re all set to crush a faster 10K. Sound like you or […]
You know someone who says “I used to run.” Maybe it’s a coworker, a friend, your brother-in-law. They did a 5K once, maybe trained for a half. Then something happened. A knee thing. A shin thing. And now they “used […]
Microdosing Post Injury If you’re coming back from a long break off or injury, I have a kind of dope way to navigate running. Most conventional run science wisdom says to ease back in with your normal running. Think 30 […]
Most runners have no idea how to rehab an injury because they’re missing one simple hack: a framework. Without it, they’re just guessing. Feel something tight? Stretch more. Roll it out. Ice it. Throw on some KT tape, cross your […]

You train hard. VO2 max Tuesdays. Hill sprints. Long runs. You’ve been doing this for years. And yeah, your heel’s been a little cranky in the morning; that first step outta bed feels like stepping on a Lego. You chalk […]
You did it. You finished Couch to 5K. Maybe even a half or full marathon. You’re finally calling yourself a runner. And then, out of nowhere, your knee starts yelling at you. Stairs hurt. Sitting hurts. Running feels like someone’s […]
I did something most runners never do… I strength trained so dang well that I injured myself. Yeah, I know. Most runners avoid strength. I went all in. Squats, calf raises, lots of light reps, lots of heavy reps, you […]
I used to think treadmill workouts were for soft runners. Like, yeah cool, enjoy your tiny fan and Spotify playlist while I’m out here getting blasted by headwinds and thinking I’m hard. Then I watched an Olympic gold medalist do […]
Strength training like most things in life is super confusing and nuanced. Information is everywhere and with so many options and variations depending on each person. It’s no wonder why us runners tend to get overwhelmed. In this article, we […]
