Something you may not know about me is that I'm Polish. Most of my family lives up there, so my brother, parents, and I try to go up every summer. I absolutely love going to Poland. I love seeing all of my family and spending time in the cool, mountainous landscape which is a lot different than Key West!
The hills, elevation, and countless beautiful trails allow for great training. Training up there always fills me positive anergy and provides a solid base for my upcoming season. I did many of my sessions with a track club that's close to where I live, which is a little town called Jasło.
Most of the runners were at the same point as I was in their training so I ended up logging a lot of miles with them.
It was a really great experience to be able to compare their training to mine, I definitely have plenty of takeaways.
It was a really great experience to be able to compare their training to mine, I definitely have plenty of takeaways. I especially loved their strength training circuits. I for sure will continue doing those throughout my season. This early in the season my training is mainly volume and strength, so it was a perfect match! Another really beneficial routine I found to be very helpful was their detail oriented drills. I will continue incorporating those in my training.
I'm going to miss running on all the hilly courses in Poland as well as the amazing training group I had, but I'm excited to be back to training here in Florida as well as the upcoming season. Up next on my schedule is a week of training in Clermont !
- Wishing everyone happy running
