Why hiking and nutrition are just as important as the kilometres and the vert

It was another solid month, even if I didn’t feel like I got in a groove. Andrew added some hiking days, and we’ve increased the length of the long run. As running takes up more hours on the calendar, I’m learning to adjust, and it’s been great having Andrew guide me along! I’m getting excited as I’ve mapped out my June 100k and it was great getting to catch up and plan out April.Coach Andrew Miller is once again taking me under his wing as I prepare for my longest personal challenge to date, the Fat Dog 120. Andrew coaches for Team Run Run, and he and I will chat for a few minutes each month about what we’ve been working on and why we’re working on it. The idea is to give listeners an idea of what it’s like to work towards a goal with a coach. He will switch between giving advice specific to me and to the community, and give us an idea of why he is doing things. The opportunity to work with a coach and also learn about their process is one I’m excited to share.Last month on The Miller Minutes, Andrew and I chatted about adding tempo workouts and caught up on how things were going:Listen where you listen:Apple PodcastsSpotifyWe’re on the journey to 2,000 subscribers.
