Joining the Mount Rushmore of multiple-time More Train, Less Pain guests, Joel Smith hops on the mic with Tim for a wide-ranging conversation about training, learning, and life. Topics include;

“How would you meaningfully improve endurance running performance without any additional running or endurance training? What does elasticity have to do with distance running performance?”

“How do you think about continuing to foster a genuine love of training while concurrently learning these in-depth biomechanical systems- PRI, Bill Hartman’s model, Adarian Barr’s, etc…?”

“What have you taken from Bill’s model thus far than you’ve applied to your work with both gen-pop and performance-oriented clients?”

And much, much more.
