I believe training plans are not a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Each training plan is centered toward your individualized needs (goals for training, availability, health considerations, etc.). During our first meeting, we will collaborate on creating a training schedule (this will be created through Steady State) that works for you and adjust as needed moving forward. This collaboration process is key so we can fine-tune a plan that upholds consistency, adequate recovery, and musculoskeletal adaptation.

That is okay! I work with a wide range of athletes ranging from some folks simply wanting to develop a base fitness whereas others are very experienced athletes racing competitively with a very specific time/outcome goal. We can adjust as needed at any point. I will often ask athletes to think of both process and performance goals to dig a bit deeper into the “why and how” underneath a goal.

There are so many options for gear that exist today which can certainly be overwhelming. My ask is that you start with finding a comfortable pair of running shoes (no more than 400 miles on the pair of shoes) that work for you according to comfort and terrain type (road/trails/etc.). This will be the cheapest route to get started and we can go into further detail of more gear if needed.
