What's A "Good" Running Pace?
A good running pace is your running pace. There's no average. There's no better pace or worse pace. Often, we're made to believe that running is just about getting faster. That's not true. Running is so much more than how fast or slow you run. There are plenty of factors that lead runners to think they're "not good enough". From race cutoffs to exclusive running groups, feeling like you belong is often difficult for slower runners. But slower runners are not the problem. The running world is. It's changing (thank god). Slow is strong. Your pace is the best pace.

When Are You Ready To Run A Half Marathon?
When are you ready to run a half marathon? There's no such thing as "ready". Just where you are. Sometimes, half marathon training goes incredibly well and you're able to check all the boxes and put all the coins in the coin jar. Other times, everything that can go wrong goes wrong and you show up unsure of the outcome. But there's no distance you need to hit in training or distance you need to run before you sign up for a half marathon. Ready is subjective and personal.

Why I Don't Think Athletes Should Just Use The Run Walk Method
As a running coach, I am no against the run/walk method. I think it's a fantastic way to help runners chunk a distance and get them through a run or race focused and present. BUT, I think lots of runners only learn how to run by doing set intervals and never get a chance to play with all the other mental tools available to them or see what they're capable of. I leave run/walk intervals as one of many tools I help my athletes utilize but give them time and space to listen and trust their bodies, strength, endurance, and mental tools.

Believing In Yourself
How To Make Running Easier
When you're running and training for a race, try to focus on everything you do throughout training as putting coins into a coin jar. It's hard to envision the work you're putting in each and every day. But if you can find a physical way to see the coins add up, it makes believing in yourself on race day that much easier.
