With spring in full swing, coach Robin Arzon has a few tips for how you can jump right into a fresh fitness routine!

Start where you’re at, not where you WANT to be. This is essential for avoiding injury and unrealistic expectations. If you haven’t been working out, you haven’t been working out. That’s okay. Be honest with yourself. Start with the first step, not what your PR was a year ago. You’ll get there. Overuse injuries are no way to get to your fitness goal.

Reinforce your training pyramid. Training plans are a pyramid– now’s the time to build your solid base. Gradually increase your weekly mileage by 10% per week. For example, if you’ve been running once or twice a week for 30 minutes throughout the winter, take it to no more than three to four times a week for 30 minutes until you build your base. Once you have a base of easy miles, you can fold in speed, stamina, and long runs. Adding speed work too soon can risk injury. Be easy!

Have you been beasting training all winter? Salute. Take advantage of your consistency and mix it up! It’s a long road of summer training to fall marathons, so spice up your routine and come for a ride with me at Peloton!You can’t out-train a bad diet. Eat like you love yourself. Fuel for greatness at least 80% of the time. The other 20% can be for food porn and other ratchet activities.
