What’s your running target for this week? Post it below 👇🏻

Back after a week's holiday All-inclusive and managed not to gain weight No, not because I ran 10 miles every day Because I had to manage my food intake and have a strategy Summer is tough for a lot of runners Routines go out the window Kids are off And yes, holidays can be amazing But not always great for your running and consistency This can produce a challenge for Spring marathoners especially You get into your race fairly early You get the buzz and excitement But then kinda nothing until you start training Which is usually the start of the year So managing the "gap" can be challenging You have Summer Then, thanks to the modern age of consumerism The Christmas stuff starts appearing in August and September And trust me, as someone who has worked in the fitness game for nearly 20 years "F it, it's Christmas" can start WAY too early for a lot of people So what do you do? Well, a good example would be someone who joined my program last week Set some goals for Autumn/Winter Get used to following a plan Stay sharp and focused Be ready for hitting the marathon block at the start of the year Thinking "it will be okay" is not smart Going into a marathon block "cold" is also not smart Base building and momentum make a HUGE difference And if you are doing your first marathon in Spring 2027? That could be the difference that makes the difference So listen, if August is a write-off? That's okay. Just don't let that become the rest of the year And if you need help staying on point and smashing that Spring goal? Drop me a reply and let's chat. Until next time. John
