Learn how to build a training plan to fit your race day goals by tuning into the latest episode of the Runners Who Wine podcast!
Welcome to another great Wild Workout Wednesday Link Up where Annmarie from The Fit Foodie Mama and I bring you workout ideas, motivation, inspiration and recipes to try. Join us each week by reading along, linking up and grab the button to proudly display on your blog/in your posts!
So you picked your goal race. You’re feeling motivated, determined, ready to earn that bling! Now it’s time to do the hardest thing: start.
Where should you begin? How many runs should you be doing per week? What kind of workouts should you be peppering in between runs? How fast should you be going?
That, my fit and focused friends, all comes down to your training plan, which is precisely what Annmarie and I discuss in the newest episode of the Runners Who Wine Podcast!
In this episode, we share some training plans we’ve had success with, as well as how we go about making our own training plans. It all starts with your race day goal. Are you looking to PR or just have fun, tackle a new distance or one you’re familiar with, build speed or endurance? Once you have a goal in mind, you can figure out how many days a week you want to run vs. cross train and what sort of running and non-running workouts you want to toss into the mix.
Of course, I’m not going to tell you all about it here on the blog. You’ll have to give the episode a listen below, on Soundcloud or on iTunes!

What training plans have you found success with?

I’ve always looked up some plans and kind of done my own thing… maybe not the best idea but I did! Love the podcast!

I tried to comment once then was swooped away page and had to exit.
Anyway, I said…I’ve always made my own training plans, for better or worse. It would be interesting to put myself in the hands of a running coach and see what happens.

This makes me miss you and Mr. Moose and drinking on Lake Travis and everything about that trip! Good news is that I have a flight booked to see a certain someone I know get hitched soon 🙂

My podcast app has been cantankerous and keeps telling me this episode is unavailable! But I can’t wait to get caught up. I’m really enjoying what you guys are putting out. 🙂
