It's Flashback Friday, and each week I dig in the blog archives and share a post that you may have missed the first time around because after more than five years, surely there is a post you missed along the way. As we enter into a new year and a new decade, many people are setting lofty new year resolutions!
When I think about the typical resolutions that runners may make, such as to race a new distance, to increase speed, to get up earlier to work out, to start strength training, to eat healthier, or lose fat, I realized I have a blog post that can help you achieve those goals.
As you consider your new year resolutions and begin to put together your action plans for success, may I make some recommendations with these blog posts that can help you reach all your running goals?

RUN COACHING TO REACH YOUR GOALS
Do you need a coach to help you reach your specific goals? A coach can provide a clear road map to reach your goal, accountability, fill in gaps of knowledge, minimize the learning curve, help to overcome obstacles and give objective feedback so that you can reach new levels.
I am opening up a few more spots in my online run coaching. Coaching is for runners looking to improve with a structured training plan built specifically for you and your abilities, runner-specific strength training to run stronger, and nutrition habits help you to get most out of your training.
You must be willing to:
Put in the work. Coaching doesn't work unless you do.
Accept and apply feedback to your training.
Have an open mind and be prepared to try new things.
Communicate how you're feeling throughout the process. Coaching is a collaborative process; I don't know how you are feeling or what you think unless you tell me.
Make healthy changes to your lifestyle, including sleep, nutrition to get the most out of your training.
My coaching is not for you if:
Need a drill sergeant to motivate you; this is not my coaching style.
If you are an advanced runner looking to qualify for Boston, run an ultra-marathon, or aiming for a significant PR on your full marathon.
You are not willing to change the way you currently train.
I am most effective with runners who want to achieve their first or fastest 5K, 10K, or half marathon. If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you! How can I help you reach your goals?
Start here for an online assessment to see if we will be a good fit.
Let's make the most of the new year together! Even if coaching is not for you, I love sharing running tips, runner-specific strength training, and nutrition habits on the blog, so thank you for following along.
Happy new year! Wishing you all health and happiness as you pursue your fitness goals.
