Ep 69| Stop Running Your Easy Days Too Hard

Your easy runs are probably too hard. Let's fix that together.

Lace up and come run with me. This is a 40-minute audio coached run, and it's actually easy. No intervals, no hero moves. You'll probably feel like you're holding back, and that's exactly the point.

I'm heading to Portugal for a trail running adventure, and I'm in the middle of a full-blown taper tantrum. So on today's run, I'm taking myself (and you) through why your fitness isn't going anywhere.

On this run, we'll cover:

What my metabolic assessment taught me about my foundation
What the gray zone is, why it has a purpose, and why living there backfires
Why "just run faster" doesn't raise your ceiling the way you'd think
Why getting back into running so often ends in injury (hint: running is a power sport)
Why your watch's zones and pace estimates are guesses, and how RPE fills the gap
A safety check, because we're outside and I want you home happy

What to expect: a 3-4 out of 10 effort. You should be able to talk in full sentences the whole time. If you finish feeling like you could've done more, you nailed it.

A little teaser: I'm building an assessment that uses audio coached runs like this one to help you field test, so you know your zones are accurate. Want in? Join the waitlist here

Know someone who runs everything too hard, or keeps getting hurt every time they start up again? Send them this one. Then come back and tell me how it felt.

Press play and let's go run easy.
