Tales from the Valley Podcast ft. Sam Jones

  • Summary

  • Sam, Katie, and Mitch speak with Sam Jones. Sam has very impressive personal bests, including 14:55 for 5K and 68:30 for the half marathon. Sam was involved in athletics when he was younger but found more enjoyment in downhill mountain biking. However, running made its way back into Sam’s life out of necessity during his travels.

    Being self-coached, Sam wanted to remove the stress of creating his own training programs and enlisted Brady Threlfall to take the reins. Sam manages to balance a demanding job with his running program and finds that there is a fine line for him in maintaining healthy running habits.

    During the training week, everyone discusses their warm-up and cool-down routines. Katie put together a 42km week, seeming to bounce back from her injury. Sam Jones balances his hectic work schedule and is recovering from some sickness, but keeps his focus on his Sunday long runs. Mitch struggles with motivation but keeps grinding, completing 102km, including an impressive impromptu Mona Fartlek on Saturday. Sam battles through Achilles and back pain but manages to put together a 100km week with two sessions and a hilly long run around Candelo.
