It’s not about the distance, it’s about the journey and last Saturday, I ran my 34th half marathon and although I didn’t quite hit my time goal, I learned 3 key takeaways from this race.

Mindset is a part of the training and you will learn how that played a role in my latest training block and I hope it helps you have realistic expectations for your next running goal!

Whether you're training for a marathon, half marathon, or just aiming to improve your daily jogs, this training has something for everyone.

It is my hope that after listening to this and learning the one thing you must consider when planning your next race, you will avoid feeling disappointed because you didn’t hit the time on the clock.
