Whatever you call them, they are necessary and critical to our success in relationships, business, and endurance sport training!

In this episode I have the honor of being coached directly by Mike Trees as he helped me figure out the best training for me to run a 15:59 5k race.

Listen on to find out how a great coach/athlete fit works and how you can train, race and live better on this episode of Trees of DLake.

What You Will Learn

What kind of key workouts I should be doing in the lead up to a 5k race
How much stress your body can handle depending on your experience
How many sessions I should be doing leading up
How many weeks out I should doing these
If I should stop doing strength work and when
And a whole lot more!

Episode Question

During a race should you even or negative split?

Notable Quotables

At the beginning of a race you have no lactate so whatever pace you're doing is going to feel easy
With your experience and speed, you can cope with 3 hard sessions plus a long run per week
You're strength training to build the chasis not to run fast for the last 4-6 weeks don't lift weight if will fatigue you. Just stretch to keep yourself mobile.
Quantity gives you the same stress load that a quality workout will, it just takes longer.
