Description

In this episode of the Tribe of Runners podcast, host Liz Myers dives into the art of planning your race calendar for the year ahead. From building a comprehensive list of dream races to categorizing them into A, B, and C priorities, I explains how to balance ambition with practicality. I also open up about her own setbacks, including navigating injury, and why sometimes the best move is to focus on recovery and training instead of chasing every race. AKA I give a life update on the ankle and my attitude with it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why mapping out your races early helps prevent stress and burnout

  • How to prioritize A, B, and C races for a smarter season strategy

  • The value of considering life circumstances when planning your race calendar

  • How B races can double as great training opportunities

  • Why C races can be fun, low-pressure ways to stay connected to the running community

  • The importance of long-term perspective and recovery when dealing with injury

Whether you’re an experienced ultra runner or planning your first big season, this episode will help you build a race schedule that supports your goals—and your well-being.
