In this episode, I answer 4 questions about prep races:
Should I do a prep race in advance of my primary goal race?
What might be the reasons to do a prep race?
When should I race a prep race if I choose to do one?
How should I race it?
Prep races can help you on the path to your goal race, but they can also take away from it. This episode will help you manage those choices along the way!

You've heard all about the need to increase your carbs per hour, but what are you doing about it?
In this episode, I give you 5 practical tips for experimenting with your in-run nutrition so that you can race faster and feel better doing so. And if you haven't re-evaluated your nutrition in a minute, then now is the time!

Fall races officially kick off with the Berlin Marathon this weekend, which makes this an exciting time of year. You might have a 5K, 10K, half or full marathon coming up, and I've got you covered in this episode with race strategy blueprints for each of those distances. 
These are baseline blueprints to get you started in your pace planning, and I've got variations for each race depending on your experience level. 
Use these as a starting point and then adapt them to the course in front of you. Then, go race and learn!

Fall races are imminent, and therefore, so are the pre-race demons that many of us often face in advance. In this episode, I give 7 common, pre-race doubts and talk through strategies to face them.
The 7:
"I did not do enough in training."
"What if something bad happens on race day?"
"I don't know if I can do this."
"I'm just not good enough for this goal."
"What if I let someone down?"
"I can't handle the nerves and pressure."
"What if I can't take it when it gets hard."
Which one do you struggle with the most?
