Bad days happen. Don’t let your instagram feed make you feel like a failure for it, or like you have to over hype yourself to get past it.
Workouts that don’t go as planned are just data points to show you what you need to work on. And, you are still building your engine and mental stamina every time you show up, regardless of the outcome.
Which affirmation resonates most with you?

ARIZONA RACERS!
We are heading into the beginning of marathon blocks for several of the big winter races we all love here in the desert. If you have any of the following races in this post on your calendar, now would be a great time to start thinking through what a training plan will look like for YOU.
Every runner has a different goal and different reason they run. When our coaches Taylored Training | Run Coach write custom plans, we are considering the following factors:
👉🏼Your current running dosage and routine.
👉🏼Your easy pace and how familiar you are with different kinds of speed workouts.
👉🏼Your responsibilities outside of running (are you a caregiver, how many hours a week do you work?)
👉🏼How much training (AND RECOVERY!) does your schedule actually allow?
👉🏼What kind of places and tools do you have access to as well as preferences.
👉🏼Injury history?
👉🏼Racing history?
The length of that list is intentional. We want our custom training plans to be the next best thing an athlete can get to 1:1 coaching. We start our plans at $50, comparable to most AI training apps out there.
Many of the athletes we currently work with have ran at least one of these races, or are training for them now. We hope we can be a part of your race day journey as well! 🏁🫶🏼🌵

Hannah, an All In Trail Scholarship recipient, who is a great reminder that running doesn’t always have to be about chasing the next PR.
After some time away from structured training and running, Hannah has returned with patience, curiosity, and a renewed appreciation for movement and adventure. She’s embracing the process, focusing on the small things, and most importantly, running for the pure love and joy of it.
And what a year she’s having.
🏆 4th place Royal Gorge Groove 50K
🥉 3rd place Silverton Alpine 50K
⛰️ The very next day: Kendal Mountain 12-Miler — an out-and-back adventure climbing nearly 4,000 feet
That weekend alone says a ton about Hannah. She’s not afraid of a challenge, but she also isn’t rushing the process. She’s learning to trust herself, stay curious, and find the adventure in wherever the trail takes her.
I’m incredibly proud of the work she’s put in and the way she’s approaching this chapter.
Next, she will be setting her sights on Javelina 100 mile training.
The goal? Keep showing up, focus on the small things, and get a little more lost in the joy and beauty of running along the way.
Keep going, Hannah. I’m excited to see where the trail takes you.
- Coach Jarred Ervin
At some point in every runner’s journey, the perspective on strength training will go from “something nice to get in if I can” to “a necessary tool I must prioritize if I want to keep running as well and injury free as I have control to do” 🙂↕️
But in a world where everyone online is an expert and most of the messaging in gyms is still “no pain no gain”, where does a runner even start? Especially if said runner just wants to…run?
That’s why we created our strength program. Because if you’re anything like us, you need something that can cut through the noise and give you a straight forward plan to strengthen your running and help avoid injury whether you can make it to the gym or are making the most of your set up at home.
Other Things You’ll Want to Know…
🧠This program is the brainchild of a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) who truly understands what runners need.
🗓️Choice of 2-3 weekly strength workouts to fit into your schedule
📲Strength is accessed through the free TruCoach app on your phone
💸$25/mo for Taylored Training Athletes or $50/mo for the general public

Y’all please, if you’re sick don’t try to push yourself to train through it.
When we train through sickness, our body has to split its finite set of resources to try and recover from both training and illness. As a result, it does a pretty poor job at both. Pushing through sickness in the name of training can lead to potential greater injury, sickness lasting longer than it should, or burnout.
Some rules of thumb (with nuance):
👉🏼If you’ve got a fever or respiratory symptoms stay in bed
👉🏼Keep an eye on your RHR and HRV, if those are out of whack, wait until they come back into line before you start pushing again
👉🏼If you’re somebody who has a history of colds turning into sinus infections, wait until that congestion clears out before getting back to training.
This post is coming from a group of coaches who have kids, work in public spaces and have families who bring lots of germs home. We get it- taking time off training for sickness sucks. If you want to avoid getting sick as often, mask up in public spaces/when taking public transportation, wash your hands often, get your yearly vaccines, and continue to prioritize sleep and nutrition!

Life almost never slows down when you enter a training block. It sometimes even feels like it ramps up as soon as you commit to a marathon?! Rude.
But, we can make adjustments and learn how to stack moderate workouts and recovery to still progress despite life being... life.
👉🏼This week let’s talk about adjusting training around sickness.
Similarly to what we talked about in our recent post around managing stress (go back through our profile to check it out!), our bodies can only handle so much until it needs a break. When our bodies are fighting an illness but we still try to push through, it’s using finite resources to recover from both stressors. As a result, it will do a pretty poor job in both areas.
This post is coming from a group of coaches who are parents of toddlers, have public and stressful 9-5s, and have families who also live full lives that will inevitably bring germs inside the home.... We get that having to put a pause on training due to getting sick can feel like moving two steps forward, one step back.
Throughout this post we have tips on how you can shift your perspective on taking a break from illness as well as how to avoid getting sick regularly (as much as you can).
If you need extra support, you know our DMs are always open!
Keep following Taylored Training | Run Coach for more insight into how “less is more” training can show up in your marathon build.
