In this episode, we cover:

The "Good Hard" vs. "Bad Hard" Test: How to instantly know when to push through a tough mile and when to stop a run to prevent a minor niggle from becoming a major injury.

Mastering the Talk Test: Learn to use conversation as your most reliable, objective metric for ensuring your Easy Runs are truly easy—the non-negotiable key to building endurance.

The Science of Fatigue: We explain why the decision to slow down is often mental, not physical, and how Active Listening can prevent you from hitting the dreaded "wall."

Flexible Frameworks: Why your training plan is a guide, not a contract, and the ultimate discipline required to take an unplanned rest day when life, stress, or your body demands it.

🏃‍♀️ Unlock the skill that allows you to train smarter, avoid the sidelines, and stay happy on the roads for years to come.
