This week's episode features a review of my summer training so far for freshmen year cross-country. This episode is going to be very chill. I think it would be insightful if, instead of giving a training tutorial like I always due, if I could delve into and analyze what is going on with my running. Hopefully I can provide you all with some insightful and real-world tips along the way. Because while I am a podcaster, I am still a runner, and I want to show that side of me as well on this podcast. I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
In this episode, I discuss:

The last 12 months, including injuries and illnesses
Lessons learned 
What I'm doing right now
And goals for the future. 

I want to give a shoutout to my friend and biggest supporter of both my running and this podcast, Rene. Rene is an extremely accomplished Masters' athlete, having run 200-something half marathons, countless marathons, and overall, an extremely high amount of experience. She has been with me since my early days of training and has supported me and this podcast from Nashville, Tennessee every step of the way. I want to give a huge shoutout to her because she very thoughtfully gifted me a sleek Nashville running T-shirt and she also gifted me something that I have been talking about a lot on this podcast: the Strength Running Performance Training Journal. Now, I am not sponsored by Strength Running, but I can confidently say that even though I have only used it for a week, I love this training journal. It is set up in a useful, professional, and organized manner. Jason Fitzgerald, the author, provides you with countless pages for you to document your training, with instructions on how to use the journal, how to plan tune-up races, and even the different types of workouts. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a full review on the Strength Running Performance Training Journal! Thank you so much to Rene for supporting this podcast and my running, journey, you are my biggest fan, bar none, and I hope to fill up this training journal to its max capacity. And I don't want to just say thanks to Rene, I want to say a special thanks to all of my listeners for the support. You guys are the ones who keep the lights on week after week and keep me inspired to do something that I love, talk about running and support this great running community. So thanks to all who listen to The Sunday Shakeout! I
