This plan is beautiful! My daughter is attempting this one this summer and is so excited. For her, sending her log, understanding form for the exercises, and making sometimes hard decisions around runs and summer schedules requires outside help and I love to do this for her.
She has learned to prioritize her life when structures is not necessarily required. Allowing her to decide what she desire/wants for her life (including school, work, sports goals) and then figuring out how to balance all of these things without tipping too far in one direction has been such a process and life skill she is now so aware of.
She is definitely her mothers daughter - we want to do everything - but we both know from our athletic experiences that
- "You can do anything, but you can't do everything."
Your goals are personal - not to prove, not to show off, but to do work that is importnat and meaningful to you and your people.
Choose what you want, balance it out, and be happy with your "Hard" -get a mentor/coach. Reach out if you need accountability this summer.

12 weeks of checking every box each week for running strength, injury prevention, and athleticism. Each 1-2 weeks, up the weight to progress. You can choose to do 4 days and keep the time to 15-20 minutes a session or combine 2 days to get a 40 plus minute session. Keep in mind the bigger the session, the more recovery time you will need. If you need help with form or accountability - reach out. Im full this summer but Ill have a couple openings this fall and I'd love to help you reach your goals safely and efficiently.

If you've never really learned how to include form cues, speed, interval training, and/or Lactate Training using a treadmil for your specific goal or sport- reach out! Come see me 1-2x a week through the summer and you will notice a huge difference in your running efficiency, economy, and capacity.

This guy Trained on a Treadmill for 3 Months due to an icy long winter (and a 28-miler) on the treadmill, Thomas Nobbs is now Canada’s fourth-fastest marathoner!

When I was training for the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympic marathon trials, many runs were also on a treadmill due to early morning hard runs solo. I needed her for accountability, safety, and to push me on those grindy -tempo- miles where i would have slowed if outside solo at 4 in the morning. The treadmill is a wonderful tool in your toolbox- if you know how to do it right.

Curious? Reach out soon. I have a couple slots left.

Are you a HS Coach, Parent, or Athlete with end of season goals for YOUR team?
Coaches/parents: Take a break from managing your athletes off season training program including the non-negotiable supplemental routines if your team desires to improve and stay healthy this fall.
If your CC team needs a summer run and or lift program- message me.
Option 1- I love meeting one-on one with coaches to build this program or coach
OR
Option 2- Consider scheduling the team to come into Emerge for a "coaching session" to set the athletes up with goal specific purposeful summer training.
OR
Option 3 Parents - Have your athlete meet with me weekly to manage training throughout the summer- my favorite here since i really get to work with the athlete on EVERYTHING!
Two Things: Let's get them excited and commited in May/ very early June before summer jobs and vacations take priority.
AND HUGE, this is usually a good opportunity for the kids to plan some runs or routine meet ups through the summer for run accountability and team bonding.
*I can also bring the team through a nutrition activity to ensure your athletes are eating enough of the right fuel to perform, recover, and feel good!

Ever feel like the supplement aisle is a marathon in itself? Deciding which ones truly support your running goals without wasting your money can be tricky. This is my journey of eliminating as many of them that I can: This process is so personal - and truly needs the support of your medical provider in analyzing blood tests, perhaps bone density tests, and more then looking at where you need support along with "insurance" even for a mental boost. Having a coach, trainer, or nutritionist help you break this down with the goal of eliminating some and adding more real food to support an optimal daily energy and performance. Then, broken down which supplements are actually worth your time and health. Check out the mess I cleaned and consider doing the same with your supplement stacks or sacks if your like me. lol...Let's continue to dial into latest to fuel our miles better! 🏃‍♂️✨ https://wix.to/MvXmUGL
