BIGGEST TRAINING WEEK OF THE BUILD
4 weeks to Berlin Marathon with Team Red, White & Blue 10 weeks to IRONMAN Florida.
My biggest week of training, tracked on Strava. Let’s see how the work is stacking.

PROGRESS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE.
One of my favorite things about Strava is being able to zoom out and see how weeks of training add up.
+198% fitness over the past 90 days.
Small increases. Repeated consistently.
That’s how gains compound, and thats how I build my clients training programs

35.2 MILES RUNNING
Four runs. One bigger week.
Using Strava lets me look beyond one workout and see how mileage, pace, and fitness are progressing across the entire build. Building durability one mile at a time.

Strava captures the miles. The early mornings, discipline, and decision to show up are still on you.

121.1 MILES ON THE BIKE
Capped by my longest ride ever: 102.4 miles.
Seeing that PR pop up on Strava hits different after months of building toward it.
Endurance is earned one ride at a time.

FUEL THE WORK.
Long rides like this don’t happen on vibes alone 😂
Gels, hydration, electrolytes, and recovery nutrition all matter when the volume starts climbing.
I stock up through The Feed so I can mix and match what I need for training without being locked into one brand.
Comment “FEED” and I’ll send you the link, or use KELLUM / the link in my bio for 40% off your first order.

6,275 YARDS SWIMMING
Aerobic endurance + threshold work.
Not every breakthrough is a PR, which is why I like having all three disciplines in one place on Strava and watching the consistency build.
More capacity. More confidence.

QUIET WORK STILL COUNTS.
Some sessions feel incredible.
Some don’t.
Log it. Learn from it. Keep building.

4 weeks until Berlin. Strava’s current marathon prediction has me at 4:35:37, down 7 minutes in the last month.
Goal #1: Beat the prediction, run full marathon at Half marathon race prediction 9:07/mile

The audacious goal: keep closing the gap between what the data says is possible and what I believe I can eventually become capable of.

Set high goals. Do the work but Leave the outcome in God’s hands 🙏🏼

THE NEXT STEP ISN’T MORE.

After my biggest training week, now we pull b

So why SHOULDN’T you hire me as your coach?

If all you want is a PDF with some workouts and a “good luck” at the end…
You probably shouldn’t.

You can find workouts anywhere. Hell, I give away a ton of them for free.

That’s not what my 1-on-1 coaching is built around.
When someone starts with me, we establish a baseline so we actually know where they are — running, strength, fitness test performance, nutrition, habits, schedule, and whatever else is affecting their training.

Then we set real 30, 60, and 90-day goals and build the training around their life.
And then we coach.

That means reviewing your training.
Adjusting the plan when something isn’t working.
Looking at your run data.
Working through nutrition.

Holding you accountable when consistency starts slipping.

Every Friday, my clients also have the opportunity to jump on a 1-on-1 coaching call with me.
Sometimes we talk training.
Sometimes nutrition.
Sometimes military fitness tests, schools, or career goals.
And sometimes we just talk about life.

Because I understand that you’re not a robot following a spreadsheet. Stress, work, family, confidence, setbacks, and life outside the gym all affect performance.

The screenshots in this carousel are the results.
Faster run times.
Higher fitness test scores.
More strength.
Weight loss.
More confidence.

But the coaching behind those results is what you don’t always see on Instagram.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and want someone actually in your corner, comment “COACH” and I’ll DM you the details about working with me 1-on-1.

How to ruck without getting tired
Rucking faster isn’t about trying to run the entire thing.
Use a controlled walk-trot strategy, fuel early, stay on top of hydration, and use your walk intervals to recover, reset your posture, and control your breathing.
That strategy helped me place top 5 in an unknown-distance ruck at SFRE.
If you’re training for a 12-mile ruck, military school, SFRE, selection, or military fitness test, give me a follow and I’II DM you my FREE Rucking Guide with the strategy I use.
