#609 - Mary Johnson: My Favorite Workouts

Welcome to a new bi-weekly series called "My Favorite Workouts."

For the remainder of 2024 I'll be speaking with coaches and elite athletes about the workouts they love the most, why they love them, the distances/races they are best for, and alterations that can be made for people of differing abilities and fitness levels.

In our third episode of this series I am joined by Mary Johnson.

Mary has been coaching runners since 2016 and started Lift Run Perform in 2017. She has worked with hundreds of runners while also being a high-end amateur runner herself. In this episode she details her favorite speed session and her favorite long run workout. She also covers how she thinks about speed volume as a percentage of an athletes weekly total volume, which is something we haven't covered before on this podcast.
