PRTL: "I Get So Nervous! Can I PR My Hot August 5k Race?"

The Planted Runner

Welcome to the PR Training Lab! Go behind the scenes with me as I create a custom training plan for one lucky runner.

In this episode, we feature Ginger:

🏃🏽‍♀️41 years old

🏃🏿Goal 5k time: 23:42

🏃🏼‍♀️Struggles with pre-race nerves

Learn how I create a custom 8-week training plan for a Ginger’s hot August 5k race.

Follow along with the questions I ask each runner:

1. What is your goal?
2. How long have you been running regularly?
3. Do you have any current or recurring injuries?What are your RECENT (past 6-12 months) race times and distances? If you have not raced recently, but have in the past, please estimate your race fitness. If you have never raced, or not in a very long time, please estimate how fast you could run 1 mile (1.6km) as fast as possible.
4. How many miles or kilometers per week do you typically run (do not include race weeks or taper weeks)?
5. What is the highest amount of weekly mileage you've ever run and how long ago was that?
6. How long is your average/most recent long run?
7. What pace would you say is a very easy effort, relaxed pace for an average run? This is a pace so slow that you could talk the entire time almost as easily as walking.
8. When do you want to run and rest?
9. What are your favorite and least favorite kinds of running workouts?
10. Do you strength train and/or cross train?
11. What do you struggle with?
