Comments: Improving my overall health is my #1 goal. Building my full body strength through months of November until February, Then gradually increase running time on feet from February until August prior to North American Championships. Goal to focus on long runs at Aerobic paces and eventually slowly add runs with tons of elevation once I can safely run outside. Possible also like to engage in an Ultra event this season as I wanted to last year but surgery did not allow for those plans. Hoping to build my running time enough to handle an Ultra event, eyeing up Killington in September, if not hopefully my schedule allows me to go back to killington this year and do the regular beast race and have a goal time of 4 hours (raced there in 2016 with a time of 5 hours and 55 minutes). Coaching youth sports may not allow me to attend the event. All my goals will be determined how my body heals from the achillies tendon issues, gastroc and planar fascistic which has hindered my running currently. I know Yancy’s planning will help me achieve these goals.
