Nashville
9 December 2026 · 458 km from Huntington
Straight-line distance, so the drive is longer. Far enough that a race is a weekend rather than a morning, which changes the taper more than it changes the training — you want to arrive with a day in hand rather than racing off a flight.

[ Training around a West Virginia week ]
Commutes across West Virginia are long enough that the training which survives is the training that fits the day you actually have. A programme that assumes ninety free minutes gets abandoned in week three; one that knows you have forty on a Tuesday does not.
That is the part an hourly trainer cannot do. They can write you a good session; they cannot rewrite the week when work moves, and rewriting the week is most of what keeps people training past the point where motivation runs out.
