In this episode I cover 5 ways to take your training to the next level.  1.) Increase volume 2.) Increase intensity 3.) Incorporate drills (increase strength and improve form) 4.) Nutrition 5.) Coaching Here is a helpful video that demonstrates all of the drills and strides that I describe in the episode.  It is done by Sage Canaday of Vo2max productions.  Ironically, he says almost the exact same things I do in his video, and I promise, I didn't watch it before I recorded this episode.  At least there is someone else saying the same stuff right?   I'd love to hear from you if you have comments or questions about taking your training to the next level. If you would like to schedule a free consultation to see if hiring me as your coach would be right for you, you can do so on facebook or twitter, or send me an email at thepocketrunningcoach@gmail.com Have a great week everyone! See you in episode 25.

This episode I spend some time interviewing one of our podcast community listeners story from couch to his first marathon.  David has been a coaching client of mine for a little under a year. In this interview we discuss his journey over the course of a year from the couch to his first Marathon.  The first segment of the interview was conducted just 2 days before the LA marathon and David and I were able to discuss the training so far, pre race optimism, strategy, and just the overall feeling you have right before your first marathon.  Then we pick right up just one day after the race to get a full report of how the race felt and what David experienced.  I am so proud to have seen him progress from zero miles to a marathon in just a year, what a great accomplishment.  I hope you are inspired, motivated, and equipped after following along on his journey.
