In this conversation, Brad discusses the importance of building running volume safely, emphasizing the need for consistency and a shift from traditional mileage tracking to time-based training. He critiques the 10% rule for increasing mileage, especially at higher volumes, and advocates for a more holistic approach that considers various training stimuli and emotional stability.
