How to Maximize Training for Busy Lives - with Duncan Larkin

How to Maximize Training for Busy Lives - with Duncan Larkin

If an airplane wing is too rigid, the plane will crash, and according to author and marathoner Duncan Larkin, the same is true for us runners.

When we adhere too closely to our training plans or even, as Duncan says, the tenets of his own books, we don't leave room for two crucial details: one, that each of our bodies is different and possesses its own unique ebb and flow and two, we're just plain busy.

For most of us, running isn't our number one priority and our schedules don't always perfectly complement our training - and that's okay.

However, to optimize our performance and steer clear of injury, it's important to be flexible and emphasize quality over quantity in training, and that's the basis of Duncan's new book, The 30-Minute Runner: Smart Training for Busy Beginners.

Duncan writes for Outside Magazine, Runner's World, and ESPN to name a few, and he was on the show in 2017 to talk about his second newest book Run Simple: A Minimalist Approach to Fitness and Wellbeing.

In this episode, Duncan shares with us a little about his new book and his tips for maximizing training when you lead a busy life (which probably applies to you if I had to guess).
