Are you ready for cooler temps and fresh running goals? Fall is one of the best seasons for runners—and today, we’re diving into why this is the perfect time to train for your next race.

After a hot and humid summer (hello, soaking wet running clothes!), I’m more than ready for fall running vibes. My official training for my December half marathon just kicked off, and as I head into my 20th half, I’m reminded why I love this season for training and racing so much.

In this episode, I’ll share:

✨ 5 reasons fall is ideal for running and racing—from cooler weather to the mental boost it gives you heading into the holidays.

✨ How much time it takes to train for a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon (and tips to pick the right distance for your current season of life).

✨ Why running should add to your life—not take away from it—and how to keep the joy in training.

✨ Practical ways to choose your next race, stay consistent with strength training, and find accountability.

Whether you’re eyeing a Turkey Trot 5K, stepping up to a 10K, dreaming about your first half, or considering tackling 26.2, this episode will help you set realistic goals and finish the year strong.

💡 Remember: this is your race, your pace. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s growth, fun, and staying healthy in the busy middle season of life.
