97b | What Story Do You Want to Tell? Inside a Run Coaching Call w/Luana Part 2 of 3: RACE WEEK

Throughout this call I share my screen and give a real inside look at TrainingPeaks — the app I use to build and manage all of my athletes' training plans. We reference specific workouts and the training calendar directly, which you can only see if you're watching. Audio listeners will still get everything, but if you want the full picture head over to our YouTube channel at youtube.com/@weget2dothis or watch on Spotify. You've heard about run coaching calls before — ⁠way back in Episode 12 we did a fly-on-the-wall style call with athlete David. ⁠Well, we're doing it again, and this time we're taking it even further.We're back. This is Part 2 of a three-part series following my athlete Luana Ciccarelli through her build, race week, and post-race recap for Grandma's Marathon 2026. If you haven't listened to 97a yet, go back and start there — it'll make this one better.This call was recorded 48 hours before race day. The training is done. The hay is in the barn. Now it's about showing up with a plan and the right mindset to execute it.In this episode we get into the actual race plan — mile by mile pacing strategy, goal setting broken down into process goals and outcome goals, and the mental game that gets you through the hard miles. We talk about Lemon Drop Hill at mile 22, why miles 15 to 22 are the real fight, mantras that actually work when it gets dark out there, fueling strategy, and why you should probably look up from the ground every once in a while during a marathon.Luana is going for her first sub-4:15. She's done this 18 times before. This time she wants to finish knowing she didn't hold back and pushed as hard as she was supposed to when she was supposed to.She is more ready than she knows. Part 3 is the post-race recap. See you on the other side!This call is specific to Luana and her current training cycle. Every coaching call looks a little different depending on the athlete and their goals. Interested in working with me at Oak Endurance?
