    What if you could transform your training routine by simply training smarter, not harder? Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation, with over two decades of experience, guides us through the start of the training season with a strategic approach that promises to elevate your fitness journey. As the weather warms up, many athletes are eager to hit the ground running, but Coach Patrick advises against jumping into intense workouts too quickly. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of pacing yourself to avoid burnout and injury. The key is to focus on your "speed to excellence" and to equip yourself with the right knowledge for a successful training season.

    In our latest episode, Coach Patrick also sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of training, especially nutrition and strategic planning. For those returning to their routines after a break, understanding and adapting your nutritional needs is crucial. With a well-laid 16-week plan, he details how to ease back into training effectively, assessing both your fitness level and equipment. Plus, the motivational impact of participating in local races or group activities is explored as a strategic way to boost your commitment and enthusiasm. Join us to learn how to navigate your path with intention and achieve not just your goals, but surpass them.
