EP. 38 - Lessons You Need to Learn Through Marathon Running

Episode 38

jeudi 13 octobre 2022 • Duration 01:00:14

Marathon running requires a great deal of us. It’s mentally and physically demanding, but that’s why we love it! The challenge and possibility of stronger training cycles, faster races, and new experiences will continue to draw us in.

Today’s episode is all about marathon running, and more specifically, the valuable lessons that can be drawn from the demands of this feat. Whether you’ve never run a marathon or are an experienced veteran, these insights will give you perspective into the greater purpose behind why we run!

Discussion topics include but aren’t limited to:

Success leaves clues, but you must craft your own approach
Everyone has different paths
Play BIG
The journey is greater than the destination

The lessons learned that we discuss are drawn from our unique running experiences, but we know that they are relatable and will allow you to think even more deeply about your journey, past, present, and future. As always, it’s bigger than any single race, running will teach you so much about life… you just have to be willing to listen!

EP. 37 - Everything You Need to Know For Your Next Taper

Episode 37

jeudi 6 octobre 2022 • Duration 01:09:47

This week, we discuss the keys to a successful taper! Every great training cycle includes a taper of about 10-14 days, allowing the body to recover and prepare for the stressors of race day.

To most effectively address the ‘ins and outs’ of a great taper, we break our discussion down into the things you should be doing (DO’s) and the things you should avoid (DON’Ts).

Ultimately, the basis of our discussion centers on the equation: Stress + Rest = Growth. When it’s time to taper, it means that you have embraced the stress of an effective training cycle, and the rest will be the deciding factor for your growth as a runner. We hope that this episode provides you with a more detailed understanding of what a taper is and how you can implement it in preparation for a goal race!

EP. 36 - Proven Ways to Build Endurance

Episode 36

jeudi 29 septembre 2022 • Duration 49:57

In this episode of the podcast, we discuss both the systematic and practical approaches to developing your capacity for endurance.

Whether it be a short or long-term goal, as runners we want to run farther and faster. To accomplish this requires an understanding of basic physiological principles of training, as well as the applicable ways to put yourself in a position for growth.

In order to simplify the topic, we address 3 strategic ways to improve your abilities in endurance:

Metabolic Endurance
Running Economy
Stacking

These three approaches, when implemented with consistency, allow our bodies to more effectively adapt to training stimuli, and thus become better runners and endurance athletes!
