Is a turkey trot a bad idea? I could really use the excuse to be by myself before what is probably going to be a long day with my in laws. And if I end up needing a “fuck it” moment to just go, are there any boundaries I need to consider? My local turkey trot is 4miles. And I’m not recovering from injury.

I’ve been struggling with wanting to do the workouts this past week. Is it the time change? The cold rainy weather? I skipped the Monday and Friday runs and walked Saturday’s long run. Am I still okay? Reassurance, validation and your perspective is appreciated. ❤️

How do you get past the fear of failure and disappointment to sign up for a race again? Not to mention the anger over wasted race fees in 2019. I want to sign up for 3 days at the fair but $100 is a lot of money to throw at the wall hoping I can make it stick with enough time in Rebuild. I don’t want to race, I just want to feel like I can run successfully.

Hi! I joined Rebuild about 6 weeks ago, not because I've had an injury or a break from running, but because I am brand new to heart rate training, and I realized that even though I've been running 5 days a week consistently since coming back from having my baby, I never really slowed down enough to build my aerobic base. I signed up for a half on November 24th before I signed up for this program, so I've been doing rebuild lane 2 and a progressively longer long run on the weekends (I did 2 1/2 hours last Sunday). I feel really good, and have gotten much better at keeping my heart rate at or below 140. My question is, how do I approach pacing with heart rate when I run my half next week? Are there certain heart rates I should aim for at different parts of the race, or a cap I should keep for part of it? I'm not going for a PR or time goal, but I think I can run faster than my 140 pace?

Will the planning webinar be open to the public or just for members?

Hi Coaches! A couple of questions. I know this has been answered before but I forget how many weeks from the marathon are we supposed to stop doing strength? Second question is that I will have the second 20 miler on my schedule for next week’s long run. I know from doing the first one that it was really hard for me to recover from. I’m thinking I should do less than 20. Opinions on that? Thank you!

I feel like I am flirting with the onset of Plantar Fasciitis. Seeing a PT is not an option right now because my co pay is $80 a visit with my health insurance. Its just not in the budget right now. I am experiencing some soreness in the arches of my feet close to the heel. I am being more diligent with foam rolling to keep the soreness at bay. Are there any other exercises I should be doing to prevent this from getting worse?

I am planning to coach my local 10k and Half Marathon teams this year. How do I balance that with my own training plan and not over do it?

This may have already been covered somewhere, but if so, I missed it ... if I want to run a 5k turkey trot on Thanksgiving, how would I adjust the day(s) before?

I have a question: I’m thinking about doing a 6 hour bout at 3DATF. My first and only marathon took me 6 hours, and I figure signing up for 6 hours is a low-pressure way for me to repeat this feat (or maybe more, or maybe less) in a way that will feel like winning no matter what. I’m in Maintain. Should I just do a marathon ramp for this? Do you think I have a good plan? My goal was to do a marathon, but I also have feelings about my marathon time that I haven’t quite processed all the way and was hoping this might be a good way to train for something big (which I WANT to do) without all the “should” things and secret goals.
