Running Life: A Fitness Protection Production
This year, there's no Tiger King to save us...so what do we do? How do we train for the rest of the year? At the time of recording, the mask mandate had just been lifted nationwide, with the promise that small group gatherings may be possible by July 4th. Though there are signs that the worst of the pandemic is behind us, we are still a long ways away from pre-Covid racing conditions.

- Char Gore woke up to pouring rain, but decided she wasn’t going to let that stop her from getting her run in. Managed 3 miles with her pup in the rain.
- Char Gore has 2 wins this week! She had her 3 month post cancer treatment appointment and all signs point to it being completely gone! She was able to start running again in October and said “she can feel the strength coming back - I even love tackling hills because it is a tangible sign that I am stronger. In 2021 I'm excited to be a beast!”

- Brenda Haskill had some great cross country skiing lately. She said she hit 33 miles of skiing this week for my staycation holiday! Crazy and fun. I’ll be back to running Monday-Friday due to work and skiing on the weekend. HR training with FPP all year sure made my ski season a lot better and I adapted to it so fast. I’m skiing uphill like a beast right now! 😀
- Amy Wilson got creative and added studs to an old pair of running shoes for her winter running. She was a beast and ran 8.7 miles in the snow!
- Trisha Thorme ran 600 miles in 2020.

- Hi Coach, I’m struggling to get in a cold weather running groove. I find myself way over layering trying to stay comfortable when I set out and then end up annoyed with all the clothes I am discarding 10 min in when I get overly warm. If I only wear what I’m happy in 10 minutes in, I find that I can’t seem to get warmed up and am miserable the whole run. Any suggestions for clothing/warmth management.
Maintain - 9:50
- My social media feeds are filled with adverts for these post workout leg compression devices. Any thoughts on these? Here's an example https://photos.app.goo.gl/w86JrhMK9fBtZkW28
- What’s your take on the racing outlook for 2021? Do you think it makes sense to start building for an early fall marathon.
