If your spring race is coming up in the next 4–6 weeks, this is where everything changes.

You’re not building fitness anymore. You’re not trying to “get in shape.”

At this point, the hay is in the barn.

What you do now is either going to sharpen you up for race day…or completely sabotage all the work you’ve already done.

And here’s the problem: most runners get this part wrong.

They start cramming in extra miles, pushing harder, second-guessing everything, or trying new things at the worst possible time.

So today, I’m breaking down exactly what to do—and what NOT to do—so you can show up on race day feeling strong, lean, confident, and ready.

This is Spring Race Prep: What To Do (and NOT Do) Right Now.

Become a Leaner, Stronger Runner

If you’re putting in the miles but not getting the results you want… something is off.

Maybe you’re running a lot but the weight isn’t changing.
Maybe you feel tired all the time.
Maybe running actually feels harder than it should.

And deep down you know this:

You shouldn’t have to grind this hard just to stay the same.

That’s exactly why I created The Leaner, Stronger Runner Project.

This is a step-by-step coaching program designed specifically for runners who want to:

Lose fat without sabotaging their running
Build real strength so running actually feels easier
Fuel their body properly so energy stays high and cravings calm down
Develop the mindset and habits that make progress stick long-term

This isn’t another random training plan or nutrition hack.

It’s a clear, structured coaching program that shows you exactly what to do — and why — so you can finally start feeling strong, lean, and confident again.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start making real progress…
