As someone who started running without any kind of coaching, I simply put on my shoes and ran. The discipline of structured workouts was very rewarding. The first track workout, where I discovered speed, had me riding a two-day high, honestly. Track workouts are fun, sometimes tough, but always worth it and the camaraderie was an added bonus. It definitely helped my mental game in my last race, in finding different gears when the going got tough. Knowledge of what you’ve done in training and what you are capable of, is good thing to have in your pocket when it gets rough on race day. A big thank you to Michael and the X3 crew.
