Coach's Corner is back. In this episode we are joined by Esther Atkins and James McKirdy of McKirdy Trained. These two great coaches delve into what it's like for someone working full time, often with family responsibilities, who is trying to run at an elite level. This delicate balance can be quite tough even in the best of circumstances. Esther and James dive into all elements of this high-wire-act, including: training, recovery, sleep, mindset, growth, dealing with hurdles, mental and physical preparation, and much more. As you will hear, their recommendations can improve the athletic success of runners of all abilities. Sponsors Previnex is a supplement brand that I trust, use, and have greatly benefited from.
