In this episode of Endurance Insights, I’m getting real about a recent mistake in my Eugene Marathon build that led to an Achilles issue, and exactly what I’d do differently so you can avoid the same setback.

From there, I break down three of my favorite legendary workouts—the Mona Fartlek, The Michigan, and the classic 800m session—and how to use them effectively depending on your level.

We also dive into key training insights for this time of year, including:

• Why triathletes need to prioritize time in the aero position before heading outdoors

• The biggest mistake athletes make after signing up for a race And why the real work happens in the 99% of training no one sees

I wrap things up by sharing some of the podcasts and books I’m currently loving so you can keep learning and improving alongside your training.
