Okay so I am just now realizing that I never OFFICIALLY picked a program track. I initially picked Performance as my ultimate goal in 2027 is complete the Vernon Ultra in April then use that momentum to finally podium elite wave races. Hopefully many of them. But I have a couple of questions for anyone who can give insight. I have quite a bit of race experience. Completed ~55 races 2018-2019, then about 5 periodically since. Most are competitive waves. Many Trifectas. But never an Ultra. My endurance was always my weak point. No doubt I didn’t run enough. My Strong points were: strength, strength endurance, and HR recovery (not sure what its actually called but the ability to recover HR quickly after a heavy exertion such as obstacles, hills, etc). I’m sure this still stands. This past year (2026) my goal was gain 10 pounds of muscle. Which I did (then lost half 🤣). But haven’t truly run in about a year, maybe more. I’ve been heavily focused on muscle and muscle endurance. But I am not overly concerned as I think by body will readapt fairly quickly as it had in the past. Which leads me to my questions: Would the performance path be where I want to start? My aligns with who its for, but my endurance has always been lacking. Or would the Endurance path make more sense? Second question.. being as i am only realizing my lack of picking program now, can i start week 1 tomorrow? 🤣 A week late start wont be an issue going forward will it? Or would i need to start at week 2? And insight is appreciated.

Just joined today after hearing about the program from my husband for the past few weeks! Excited to get back into working out consistently and be the best I can for my family! Starting with Hybrid foundation block 1 to get into a routine !

I've hit the gym 4 days and will go tomorrow. I finished Atomic Habits and I'll be reading Slight Edge next. I'm have 150/300 reps for challenge. All in all, I'm feeling relatively well. Mentally I've been struggling here and there with overthinking and past shame/ guilt that tries to resurface but reading and gym helps push that out.

On your failures . Failures are receipts for trying. Not everyone gets them. Keep going. Keep pursuing. Keep pushing forward.

2 hour zone 2 run today. 10.77 miles I really didn’t want to do it. I had lots of excuses: I’m sore, it’s hot, it’s windy. But I got out and got it done anyway. Great job to everyone this week. Let’s crush the next week!
