Ep. 172 - Excellence is Boring Before It's Impressive: Winter Training 2026, High Mileage, The Last Chance

December doesn’t reward you right away.


No races.No crowds.

No proof that the work is doing anything at all.


In this solo episode, I walk through how I’m approaching winter training — not just the mileage, but the mindset behind it. Why winter is my favorite season. Why PRs are made long before spikes ever hit the track. And why patience, not excitement, is the real competitive advantage.


I break down my winter mileage plan, how I’m building gradually toward 55–60 miles per week, and what I believe actually defines a breakout junior track season. Not just times — but composure, durability, and the ability to show up when discomfort hits.


We talk about being “due” for a breakout without feeling entitled. About trusting inputs when outcomes are still invisible. And about why spring doesn’t create fitness — it reveals it.


This episode is for anyone willing to do the work when no one’s watching.


Because winter always tells the truth.


I hope you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout!
