For months I thought my left-sided issues were random.

Tight arch.
Irritated ankle.
Quad pain.
A gait that felt off.

They weren’t random.

After a calcaneal stress fracture, my body did what it’s designed to do. It protected me.

It quietly offloaded my left heel.
Shifted my center of gravity.
Changed how I absorbed load.

The bone healed.
The guarding pattern didn’t.

And this is where overwhelm sneaks in:
New pain shows up and you start chasing five fixes at once.

If you’re stuck in the cycle of
injury → rest → return → new pain → repeat…
it’s usually not bad luck.

It’s a load strategy your body hasn’t unlearned yet.

You don’t need to be tougher.
You need one clear plan and the patience to let it work.

If you want help untangling this (without the panic-Google spiral), DM me “SUSTAINABLE”.

If your longest long run isn’t close to 26.2 and that’s making you anxious, take a breath.

Most marathon plans are not designed to “prove” the full distance in training. They are designed to build the fitness you need without taking you out for a week.

Here’s the calm truth:
Your marathon readiness comes from stacking long runs, not surviving one giant one.

A helpful way to think about it:
Your longest run should leave you tired, not wrecked.

If your long run turns into:

sore for 3 to 5 days

skipping midweek runs

feeling like you need to “recover from training” more than you’re training

That is not toughness. That is a stress bill your body has to pay.

What builds confidence instead:

consistent long runs week after week

fueling practice that actually works for your stomach

a plan that fits your real life so you can recover and repeat

You do not need a marathon in training to run a marathon on race day.

Comment “OVERTRAINING” if your long runs are giving you anxiety, and I’ll send my guide to volume and recovery to help you bounce back.

Race day confidence does not start at the start line. It starts with what you do before you run.

If you want your Spring Event Game Plan to actually show up in your legs, build a 5-minute activation routine you can repeat on autopilot when nerves are high and time is tight.

Here’s the exact pre-run activation from this reel:

Adductor Holds (6 x 5 secs / side)

Side Lifts from Knee (6 x 5 secs / side)

Single Leg Glute Bridge (6 x 5 secs / side)

Donkey Kicks (6 x 5 secs / side)

Fire Hydrants (6 x 5 secs / side)

Foot Roll Out

Monster Walk (6–8 steps / direction)

The goal is not to “smash” your glutes. It’s to switch the right muscles on so your first mile feels smoother, your stride feels more stable, and you are not spending the first 10 minutes searching for rhythm.

Save this for race week, especially if you are a comeback runner or you get that “tight and creaky” feeling at the start.

If spring race training is leaving you tired, you do not need more grit. You need more contrast.

Easy days easier. Hard days purposeful. Long runs for durability, not a weekly fitness test.

Want a schedule-first plan built around your race and your real life?
DM me PLAN with your race distance + how many days you can run.

Human coaches notice tightness, fatigue and hesitation. AI tells you to follow your plan and hit the workout.

AI definitely doesn’t do injury prevention, why risk it?

Coming back to running after a break? Injury? A hectic season of life? 🏃‍♀️💛

The biggest mistake I see runners make when rebuilding consistency is going all-out because they feel like they’re “behind.”

🚫 You don’t need to be a hero every run.
✅ Keep your easy runs EASY… but don’t forget to keep your legs sharp.

One of the best ways to build back efficiency + turnover without overtraining?
Strides. 🔥

After you’re warmed up (or at the end of your run), add:
➡️ 5 x 20 seconds
Focus on smooth turnover, quick feet, tall posture, and strong push-off — not sprinting.

Want help figuring out how to rebuild your training in a way that actually fits your life?

Skinnier or leaner is not a training plan.

Your body adapts to what you repeat.
Train for the athlete you want to be.
Fuel so the work can land.
Recover so it can stick.

January shouldn’t be about punishing yourself for a messy December. New Year, new you? How about just a calm reset?

A reset shouldn’t break you. It should make training feel possible again.

Most New Year’s goals are just “shoulds” in disguise. 🚩

We tell ourselves we should hit a certain mileage or should chase a specific PR. But if that goal feels like a weight on your shoulders before you even lace up, it’s not a goal—it’s a chore.

The best running goals create “pull” instead of “push.” They make you curious about your own potential rather than stressed about a deadline.

In 2026, let’s trade: ❌ Outcome goals (The “What”) ✅ Engagement goals (The “How”)

Focus on showing up without dread and finishing runs feeling capable. When the process feels good, the PRs take care of themselves.

DM me the word “PLAN” and let’s build a strategy that actually fits your real life.

Stop letting “mind-mischief” ruin your running progress. 🧠🏃‍♂️

Most New Year’s advice falls into two camps: 1️⃣ The “New Year, New You” hype that leads straight to burnout. 2️⃣ The cynical “I don’t need a date to change” view that’s often just a cover for a fear of failure.

Which one are you?

If you’re Personality A, you love the goal but get lost in the ex*****on. If you’re Personality B, you want to improve but hate the forced nature of “resolutions.”

Here’s the truth: To get faster and run longer, you have to get out of your own head. At Maximum Mileage, we don’t do “drippy nonsense.” We do data. 📊

We help you: ✅ Reframe “failed” workouts as valuable datapoints. ✅ Build a science-backed roadmap that fits YOUR life. ✅ Stop being your own toughest critic so you can actually enjoy the miles.

Don’t let another year go by just “guessing” at your potential. Let’s build your roadmap together.

I tried to outrun sickness.
It did not go well.

If you’re sick and spiraling about lost fitness, missed miles, or “falling behind” — please hear this: resting is not quitting.

Running through fever, aches, and zero appetite doesn’t build toughness. It just delays recovery.

Save this for the next time your body says stop and your runner brain says just one easy run.
