6. Bonus: Egg freezing, spring racing, and pre-mile repeats chat

Another bonus episode! This is a freeform episode so we just kind of chatted on all sorts of tangential topics…

We highlighted our workout of the day (before we did it): mile repeats. The two most important runs in the Galloway Method are the Long Run (over-distance) and Mile Repeats. Buy Jeff’s book Boston Marathon: How to Qualify

Liz got to run Boston 2022! But it was a bit of a let-down as she didn’t have the opportunity to train how she wanted. Celebrate little wins and the process! As Steve Magness writes, “A new meta-analysis on the impact of goal setting on performance found”:

  1. Process goals had a large effect on performance

  2. Performance goals had a moderate effect

  3. Outcome goals had a negligible effect

We chatted about Liz’s IVF update and freezing your eggs as an “insurance policy”.

We discuss dialing back our goals - manageable based on our current fitness instead of based on stretch goals. We chat about local races and spring races. Jeff’s race is still open for registration, come join us March 18 and 19! Use code AMBASSADOR23 for 10% off your registration: https://www.jeffgalloway131.com/

Also we manually updated our Garmin heart rate zones based on Lactate Threshold.
