Taylored Training

This month we’re highlighting the essential parts of marathon training you should be working on, outside of just running. Welcome to Part III: Strength Training

Strength training is a great tool to help prevent injury and continue to progress in running. Not to mention race day performance! Stacking those bricks can be the difference between finishing well and having to hobble it in over the finish line.

Figuring out how to implement strength training with nuance can feel complicated- so we created a program approachable and available for all athletes (not just Taylored Training athletes!)

⚡️2-3 weekly workouts
⚡️Accessed through the TrueCoach app and can be used at home or in a traditional gym
⚡️ Give feedback and ask questions directly in the app!
⚡️$25/mo for Taylored Training athletes and $50/mo for the general public

Keep hanging around ‘s page for more info on how you can train for the long game!

Calling all Phoenix, AZ based athletes! Aka, anyone who’s running, cycling, swimming, crossfitting, hydroxing, strength training....you get it...and just about DONE with the hellscape that is summer in the Valley.

You are are going to want to join us for our August clinic, all about HEAT TRAINING.

These community clinics are a collaboration between Taylored Training | Run Coach and Core Collective Fitness to give our local athletes the tools and local support they need to meet their goals.

This workshop will cover the adaptations athletes need to make on a training and nutrition level to not just ‘get through’ summer training, but to do it in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling like sh*t (yes- there is a way!).

As always, the cost is $15 that will act as a coupon to go towards your gym or running account after the event. We will also have raffle prizes and free samples of some of our favorite products that help us during summer training.

This month we’re highlighting the essential parts of marathon training you should be working on, outside of just running. Welcome to Part II: Daily Nutrition 🥯

Repeat after me:

“Training for a marathon is not a good weight loss strategy... training for a marathon is NOT a good weight loss strategy!”

Meaning- this is not the time to be cutting calories and opting out of buns on your burgers (not that we would recommend that outside of marathon training either...). Rather, it’s a time when you should have an abundance mindset around food and making sure you’re eating ENOUGH calories (namely carbohydrates) to provide your body the energy it needs to do what you’re asking it to do.

And we know, many people don’t under-eat intentionally, but it can happen if we’re not paying attention to some of the following:

- Not backloading the day with foot consumption (aka breakfast and lunch should be significant meals)
- Eating frequently enough (say yes to snacks)
- Every meal a non-small portion of your plate is carbs.

Making sure you’re eating enough will make obvious differences in your marathon race results, but it will also make differences in your life as a whole. We’re talking sleeping better, steady moods, helping your s*x hormones back on track, etc (swipe for more!)

We’re just running coaches over here 😉 so make sure you’re following some of our favorite sports RDs for more support and info in this area:
