Far too many runners choose their training volume based on what others are doing. This is how we think about the appropriate volume to train at!

We continue from where we left off last week with Kirk taking the lead on his most impactful takeaways from our early episodes.

How we approach them, our strategy, our training adjustments, and our expectations.

We have had the opportunity to listen to so many incredible individuals impart knowledge, wisdom, and warnings over the past 500 episodes. Today we recap some of the best lessons we’ve learned from others since starting this podcast.

Our current practices for injury prevention. How to implement hill work and at what grade of steepness. How Lactate Threshold HR and pace change over time. When to time trial and when to race. Plus more!

Why should runners lift? What is really considered strength training when it comes to endurance running? How often do we think a runner should lift? Do we prioritize performance or prevention of injury? And much more!

This isn’t us telling you what shoes to get. We’re not telling you what shoes we think are “good”. There is really no such thing as a “good” or “bad” shoe these days; just a shoe that does or doesn’t work well for your foot and purpose. Today we discuss how to decide what shoes are likely to be a good match for your feet, your stride, and your terrain.

BK goes off the rails on his three favorite types of racing shoes: Safe Super Shoes, Wild Super Shoes, and “Old School Racing Flats Meet New School Technology”. Because he has an obsession, he breaks these down for both road and trail options.

Mr McIntyre co-hosts a special Training Tuesday all about the training for Hyrox. Well, mostly about training for Hyrox with a small amount of Hunter tangents. Okay, a decent amount of Hyrox with a healthy amount of nonsense. Fine, it’s mostly chit chat, tangents, and nonsense, but there still is some Hyrox training GOLD in there along with a breakdown of his new Hyrox Masterclass training program.
