In this episode, Jason Clinton joins me again (for the 3rd time!) to talk about his newest running goal: breaking 20 minutes in a 5k. We discuss why it is important for people to set difficult and uncomfortable goals, how he is structuring his training to prepare for the pacing demands of his goal, the importance of focusing on certain training variables and data points while reducing focus on other variables, when and how much strength training is necessary, and much more!!
Jason Clinton is a former D2 collegiate athlete now working as a strength, wellness, and running coach. He’s also a running enthusiast having competed in road races from the 5k distance up to the marathon. He currently resides in Northwest Indiana with his wife and three kids.
