Do you need to base build? If your easy runs feel hard, your heart rate spikes early, or you feel like you’re constantly working just to maintain an “easy” pace, this episode is for you.
We’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood parts of running: your aerobic base. You’ll learn why building your foundation before half marathon or marathon prep changes everything, how it impacts your heart rate, endurance, and recovery, and why jumping straight into intensity often leads to burnout, frustration, or injury.
I also share a real athlete example of what happens when we shift the focus back to base building, and how consistency, easy running, and patience completely transform performance over time.
