“Every athlete is so absolutely unique and individual. I see too many runners doing all their runs at the top end of the zone 2 and thinking that is the only way to train. Be flexible in your training and kind to self. Understand that some training days are going to be easy, some days life can get in the way of your running plans and that is okay. Adjusting your training accordingly. Change things on the day to-day versus sticking so strict to our training schedule is absolutely key.” – Floris Gierman
In this new Extramilest Show, I give a personal update on my own training, racing, and life over the past 12 months. From completing the 6 World Major Marathons to exploring new activities like strength training, bouldering, and pickleball, I dive into the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
