Welcome to the running public with Brack and Crocker and Kirk DeWint.

It's Tuesday, folks, and you know what that means, Training Tuesday.

We are going to take every rabbit hole, follow tangents, use useless metaphors. Get lost in the weeds.

This is Training Tuesday.

When you're ready to take your training or racing to the next level, go to the running public.

We have both monthly subscription training plans. When you're ready to take your training or racing to the next level, go to the running public.com.

We have both monthly subscription training plans, $1999 a month, and Bracken and I both offer one-on-one customized coaching.

Again, go to the running public.com and check out our offerings.

A lot of people asking lately, Kirk. What, what are all these people asking? How do I

test my race preparedness without racing? Hmm. Age old question, am I ready? Am I ready? Am I building

the correct type of fitness for the race demands?

Have you been asking yourself that question lately?

Yep.

Have you really?

Yeah, myself, building plans for others.

And then talking with a few people in consults or coaching calls are just about when and how do you build out something to test what actually needs to be tested?

Because I think that's the important part.

Like, are we testing the right thing when we do a race prep workout or a race simulator workout or whatever that thing is?

I think it's easy to do a workout that sounds good or has worked for others, but it's

harder to do one that actually test the thing that's going to go wrong in your race.

So step one, we're jumping right into it today.

Right.
