Heptathlon Training

Hello,

Here is what my new training schedule looks like now, under Andy's coaching. Everyday I am running and I am really learning to move so smoothly and with great confidence! We have worked a great deal on letting the tension go from my upper body and moving effortlessly from the shoulders, as I work hard off the ground and push with every step. Thanks to all the running, I have ample practice at this and it is really starting to pay out and I am feeling more and more confident to push myself in the running and really just allow my body to move, and it is feeling amazing; I have moments where I truly feel fast and excited at my potential for speed!

Outside of training, my days are still the same. Wake up, eat, go to training, come home, eat, sleep/nap, eat, go back to training, protein shake post training, come home, eat, eat, sleep! This is the life of an athlete!

Your Athlete,
