Seeing so many PACErs crush the multi day “stage race” training & prep this year, I am curious if anyone is thinking more seriously about potentially running Transalpine Run 2 day, 8 day or Salomon 4 Trails in 2022? (Europe stage races) I know it’s well over a year away for both of these events and things are still uncertain but I am getting booking requests from groups in North America and Europe already. While I am not opening up anything until this fall... I wanted to check in to see if anyone from the PACE family is even considering these events so I can provide an info night and make sure the PACE family has priority registration. One of the hardest parts of running events like these is the commitment to the training and managing the volume it takes to prepare. Having a solid base is absolutely essential and those of you training for stage races this season are doing just that... building a strong base which will transfer over and give you a huge boost to your prep next season. Salomon 4 Trails is a 4 day race that you can run solo, however Transalpine Run is either a 2 day or 8 day race that requires you to run with a partner. This is another challenging aspect of this event as it can take time to find the right fit, and someone who can commit both physically and financially to the goal. It's also my favourite part and what I find the most rewarding. For some people, booking time off work, finding a sitter for your kids (if you and your partner want to run together, for example) takes time. The first year I ran Transalpine Run we took Carter with us and he was 10yrs old. He has since joined us half a dozen times at different ages and we have turned it into a family vacation by going a little early and/or staying a little later. There are always kids running around at the finish lines and pasta parties every year. Trent and I are planning to take groups to both of these events next year (providing it’s safe to do so) and we would love to share the travel and running experience with anyone from the PACE family who’s curious and/or interested. I wanted to put this post out today because I know it takes time to wrap your head around an event like this. I can host a European Vacation zoom if anyone is interested. Please email me at renepacetrailruns@gmail.com before Monday and I will see how much interest we have.
 Click HERE for the sample log shown. Trent made this log 17yrs ago and we both still use it! I added my training for last week to show you an example of how I track an average week. I haven't added my notes on feeling, hydration or sleep yet, but I usually write those under notes. Click HERE for Cynthia's adaption to this template which you might prefer. GOAL SETTINGCREATE YOUR MANTRA The very first step in setting yourself up for success this clinic is knowing why it's important for you to show up, do the work (especially on the days you might not feel like it) and find that drive to do you best. Don't blow this exercise off, just yet. It can take as little as 5min of your time and give you 12 weeks worth of motivation. When it comes to goals, it's important to know that you're not chasing the goal itself, you're chasing the feelings you hope attaining those goals will give you. Our feelings are how we perceive life. Perception informs how you live... 1. Start by listing some words that describe how you want to feel at the end of the first 4 week block. Some examples might be: connected, strong, committed, capable, alive, nurtured, free, courageous... you get the picture. Choose words that reflect what's important to you. 2. Next, identify some examples of things you have done in the past that supported these feelings. These are your supporters and reminders that help keep you on track. For example, getting outside and starting a workout, even if you have to adapt and walk or hike feels better than blowing it off. It also helps avoid that negative head chatter we often get when we skip workouts: "I should have gotten out for a run" which distracts you and takes away from further positivity and productivity. 3. Getting off track is essential to our growth. Veering away from one's essence and steering back to it is how we accumulate insight into, and trust in, the nature of life. Sometimes the only way to know we've taken a wrong turn is because we end up feeling awful and exactly how we don't want to feel. 4. When building your goals for each week, be sure to make them align with step two. I like to take 5min every Sunday evening and write out realistic and attainable goals for the week ahead. I reiterate the words beside each workout that helps me remember why that goal is important to me and then I reflect on the past week before building the next. Make it your goal to look back at the first 4 weeks feeling the way you hope to feel. Coach R
