I’m also hoping to do The Color Run or Color Vibe 5k this year depending on the dates.

My goal is to continue to stay active with teaching my weekly Walk15 workouts, training at the gym, and exercising at home 5-6 days per week. I typically follow my own training schedule and workout plan based on what upcoming race I have.

For the next couple of months I will be focusing on hills and strength training for my 2 upcoming April races.

Do you have any race goals this year? Do you follow a race training program or do your own?
