This was a good week getting back on the path of a real training cycle.  The things that stood out to me were that I got out of bed and got my runs done on multiple days when in the past months (without a training plan) I would have told myself I would run at lunch instead and then not run.

Since I retired at the end of 2018 my training has been sporadic at best.  I had a good couple months last year over the summer with the UNC Charlotte guys as they started their XC training, but other than that it’s been a workout here, a long run there and nothing with any real purpose.

Want a Professional Runner to Talk at Your School?

Well if your school is with in a couple hours of Charlotte, NC then you’re in luck! Normally I focus on the mental aspects of running (preparation, training and racing) and the small things an athlete can do that when added together make a big difference. However, I always make sure to ask the coach if there is anything they’d would like me to focus on or a direction they’d like me to take.

Have your coach send me an email!

“Having Christo come and talk to our team was really an asset. He shared personal information about the life of a professional runner that the kids found extremely interesting, but also offered a wealth of information and advice about nutrition, race preparation, and racing strategies that was really helpful to our developing runners. The kids loved interacting with him afterwards as well, asking questions and chatting with him about running. We would love to have him back anytime.”

Kevin Gregg, Head Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Coach at Mooresville High School

“As coaches we often talk to our runners about the little things they can do to be successful and, while they may listen to some of those tidbits, it makes all the difference in the world to hear them from a professional runner. Christo Landry was a phenomenal speaker, he was personable and spoke on the kids level giving them tangible advice about how everything from hydration and nutrition to prioritizing sleep. He spoke about how to mentally prepares for races and even helped the runners visualize our course for the conference championships. The kids cited his advice all week leading up to the race. Christo’s advice was priceless and I can’t wait to have him back next year.”

Lisa Mulvey, Head Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Coach at Gaston Day School

“Christo has a wealth of knowledge in endurance sports, and a unique talent for conveying it to young athletes. He’s spoken to our kids about race strategy and an elite mindset, and they received his high-energy message in full. We’ve heard from several elite athletes over the years, but none were as relatable to teens as Christo Landry.”
