Coach MK and Coach Sarah stream live Q&A sessions each week on the Fitness Protection Program Facebook Page, The FPP YouTube Channel, and Twitch, simultaneously. Join us! They are a lot of fun and super informative, and anyone may ask follow-up questions during the live broadcast.
This week, we remind everyone that fall racing prep starts NOW: the 10-week marathon document would initiate on Aug 12 for an Oct 17th race; and the two month lead-in period to build the base required to coast on only 10 weeks of prep would have started....on June 3.
Then, we offer a call-out for Runner, Interrupted. Beta should
launch on August 1. Email info@coachedandloved.com if you or
someone you know would be interested in helping us pilot this
program.
(Re)Build questions from the beginning
Maintain questions begin around ten minutes into the program
1. I have a full marathon in fall. My goal is to be faster than my
first marathon - I would love to be around 5 hours- so how do I
train my mind that I CAN run faster. How do you train your mind to
not want to slow down?
2. What is the deal with training threshold notifications in
training peaks? They seem to happen a lot and the values go up and
down. What does it even mean?
3. I’ve recently begun to know and understand what an activated
glute muscle is and how it feels. I’m aware of my non-dominate side
glute, but am not able to really feel my dominant side glute
working/activated.
4. Transitioning from Rebuild to Maintain, does it/ would it make
sense to keep some of the rebuild strength work in addition to the
Maintain circuits?
5. Can you explain the difference between AR and float in Sailing?
And how are those different than the jog in Batter?
6. I have a few short ones: What does it mean when training peaks
says “You set a new heart rate threshold.”? When you say that
nutrition may be one of the contributing factors to a disappointing
/ craptastic run, do you mean nutrition in general, or do you mean
nutrition just prior to and during the run? The clam series kept my
booty SORE for the entire month of May. Am I loosing those gains by
not continuing that series this month?
7. We are traveling international for 3 weeks. What’s the minimum
running you’d like to see to not loose too much fitness? Especially
considering jet lag…
8. Hills! In the past we had Hilly Tweaks...are there some basic
additions we can make to improve hill performance? For example High
Knees up a hill and everyone’s favorite Hill Bounds...suggestions
for quantity?
9. I am super Excited for the new Marathon Programs you recently
explained in Beta page. Will there be the option for to opt into a
pre race coach call if needed?
10. Warm up and cool down were on your runner's priorities list.
What are important elements? Running a certain period of time with
HR under 140? Since silly toes was listed separately I assume
that's different from warm up. What else should we know about warm
up and cool down?
11. I signed up for a 10K on the Fourth of July before FPP existed.
It's the Peachtree 10K which will have 60K runners. I've raced
rarely and when I have I ran leisurely with little regard to pace.
Since I will have been in FPP for three months on race day, I would
like to challenge myself and show off new skills.
12. If I missed it in an earlier edition, I'd love to hear more of
Sarah's journey into coaching (here or in podcast)?
