Summary

"Fast Kate" Grace is one of the United States' most decorated and accomplished middle-distance runners. She's an Olympian, Olympic Trials champion, and a runner-up at outdoor nationals in the 1500m.

She was also our guest on Episode 97 of the podcast.

Kate is a Nike-sponsored athlete, a member of the Bowerman Track Club, and a 4:22 miler.

She joins us on the podcast to discuss how an elite runner like herself plans an entire season from start to finish. We're discussing:

Overall length of the season, tune-up race scheduling and strategy, and planning
Her support team of coaches, experts, and clinicians that makes it all possible
Linear vs. nonlinear periodization and the progress of her workouts

But she's not the only guest on the podcast today! You'll also be hearing from my old friend and former teammate, Jake Tuber.

Jake is the mastermind behind Endeavorun, a new coaching program that gives regular runners like us the "pro athlete experience" with:

A kickoff retreat in Tracktown USA at the University of Oregon
Coaching and custom training for every registrant
A team of PT's, dietitians, and elite runners (like Kate Grace) to keep your running on track
VIP race experience and ongoing support - just like the pros

It's a coach, running camp, strength programming, fan experience with pro runners, training program, and nutritionist rolled into one program.

The running community has not seen a program this comprehensive; it virtually defies definition and I'm excited to be a part of it next year.

Code JASON will also save you 15% on the registration fee and gets you a free pairs of shoes of your choice!

Please also take the Endeavorun survey to help us create the best program possible.
