Did I ever tell you about the time I couldn’t nail a PR to save my life?

I was giving my ALL. The entire season.

To the point where dry heaving at the end of a race was my new “normal”.

And yet….nothing.

I wasn’t slacking off on workouts. I wasn’t sandbagging in the races. I had the right shoes, socks, ate breakfast, all the things.

I just couldn’t wrap my head around why in the previous season, the PRs just kept rolling in, even on the toughest courses.

And now, I might as well have been running in the saraha desert.

PR city was nowhere in sight.

And it was soul-level discouraging to the point where on some races, I really didn’t want to try anymore because I felt the only outcome was predictable disappointment.

But being me…I couldn’t NOT try. Because what if this was the one? What if this was my race?

It was only years later that I figured it out: what the difference was between PR city and the saraha desert season.

And it was only AFTER PT school that I learned how to put this realization into practice.

So let me save you a lot of time, potential running injuries, and heartache on your journey to your next PR.

I’m pretty freaking stoked to announce:

• Project PR: My newest FREE live virtual training for marathoners ready to bust pace plateaus and unlock the cutting edge strategy to run stronger, faster, and PR every race.

If I had known even a fraction of what I’ve put into Project PR, it would have changed so many races, so many long runs, so many track sessions.

Because here’s your reality: You already have the marathon plan. The miles. And the motivation.

But if you’ve ever finished a race wondering why your legs had nothing left to give with a PR still just out of reach… it’s not running fitness you’re missing. It’s PR-level strength.

Because I’m taking your running-specific strength training and I’m going one level further and making it MARATHON-specific.

Yup, there are science-backed different ways to strength train in each of the different training blocks of your marathon training.

(bet you didn’t know that ;) )

And yup, and I’m giving it all away for 100% FREE.

So come hang out with me during my new, FREE, Live Event Project PR: where marathoners bust pacing plateaus and grab new PRs.
