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.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.

I don't know, I don't know how to start this thing, Bracken.

Bracken, let's put it in your hands, brother. You put it in my hands? Yep. Well, I'm going to describe then, this was not planned,

but since you're putting it in my hands, I'm going to describe a situation that most people

listening to this go through far too often, which is returning to a training plan after some time away,

either a way due to injury, life, laziness, lack of motivation.

So I'm on week three now.

Plan to break, yes.

I'm on week three of following a script and of working in a progressive nature.

And so I am right in the sweet spot of feeling really fatigued and everything bothering me.

Right there.

I'm listening.

Well, the first week or so is exciting.

And then week four, five, six, fitness starts to noticeably improve.

But week two, three, four generally just kind of sucks.
