Ep 66EP. 66 - You Just Ran A Marathon… Now What? How to Train in the "Off-Season"
Whether you recently ran a race or have a Fall race on the calendar, many athletes enter the summer months in an ‘in-between’ place of training. Fortunately, we can all benefit from periods of running that aren’t strictly focused on a specific goal or PR. Following the Boston and London Marathons, we break down how athletes can make the most of their “off-seasons”. By understanding the differences of focused and flexible periods of training, you will: Establish the process and outcome-oriented goals of your current training. Follow the most appropriate training plan for your unique goals. Place parameters on your training that provide a framework for growth as an athlete. Allow yourself to embrace an off-season to strengthen weaknesses, develop habits, and explore different styles of training that contribute to your overall abilities as an athlete.

Ep 65EP. 65 - Mental Health & Training: How to Empower Your Life Through Running
We become fooled into believing that progress (and happiness) is linear - both in running and life. When you’re experiencing a ‘high’ or extended period of positivity, enjoy it, but understand that ‘low’ moments will follow. This week’s episode dives into the important, often overlooked aspects of mental health, specifically as they relate to running and following a big accomplishment. Our discussion centers around ideas, such as… Why we need to center our running around values (not results). The importance of curiosity, community, and performance standards in your training. How we fall into the unconscious desire for a feedback loop, where we rely more on the external rewards than the internal benefits - which are what got us started in the first place! Why do you run? Our training should empower life, not hinder it. We hope that this episode provides you with the tools necessary to build a positive relationship with your training, racing, and performance goals.

Ep 64EP. 64 - How to Continue Running When Motivation Changes & Preparing For a Late Race Start
For many athletes, late race starts can present a serious issue, and in some of the world's best marathons, such as the Boston Marathon, you may be awake for several hours before the race actually begins - a big change from your normal long run routine. So, how do you set yourself up for success? Sara has the breakdown in this podcast episode, as she enters race week for Boston. Plus, listen in for some big success tips for running in the rain (you never know when conditions like that of the 2018 Boston Marathon will present themselves)! And finally, the thing that prevents many people from stepping to the start line in the first place: motivation. Whether you’re just getting into running or have been a runner for years, motivation will ebb and flow. It’s the nature of life. You may have a very busy season of life, work, and family - and in turn, running begins to take a back seat. How many of us can relate? Fortunately, our mind can rule the day and push us through periods of lacking motivation. This episode explains how! New releases of the Elevate Your Running podcast every Thursday!

Ep 37EP. 37 - Everything You Need to Know For Your Next Taper
This week, we discuss the keys to a successful taper! Every great training cycle includes a taper of about 10-14 days, allowing the body to recover and prepare for the stressors of race day. To most effectively address the ‘ins and outs’ of a great taper, we break our discussion down into the things you should be doing (DO’s) and the things you should avoid (DON’Ts). Ultimately, the basis of our discussion centers on the equation: Stress + Rest = Growth. When it’s time to taper, it means that you have embraced the stress of an effective training cycle, and the rest will be the deciding factor for your growth as a runner. We hope that this episode provides you with a more detailed understanding of what a taper is and how you can implement it in preparation for a goal race!

This episode is full of applicable insights to maximize your training (and life) by proactively combatting the factors that limit you. We discuss these three limitations in detail: Irregularity Inconsistency Injury Each of the above provides its own unique set of challenges for us as athletes, professionals, and people.

And injury is inevitable but creates the opportunity for resilience and fortitude in pursuit of our goals. No matter your goals and best intentions, life will throw you curveballs. The power to achieve at a high level, in the face of these challenges, is what we all possess, but very few embrace.
