I'm joined on this episode by Natalie Rizen!

Natalie is an athlete I've been coaching off-and-on for over a year and she completed her first 100k at Javalina Jundred this past year.

We got together to discuss the race, training in 110° heat, and fighting deep out of the pain cave - as well as what pushed her to transition from college softball to running trails.

Natalie's a wonderful person and I know you're going to enjoy this interview!

I'm joined on this episode by Brian Gilbert!

Brian is an athlete I've been coaching for a while and he just ran his first sub-24hr 100-miler at Rocky Raccoon 100.

Brian's an interesting guy who came to running later in life as a way to get fit after years of injuries and other BS that life throws at you...

And now he's absolutely killing it out on the trails.

I guarantee you'll get a lot out of this one.

It's really easy to get lost in an excessive amount of data as a modern athlete - or even just as a human being in the modern world.

Here are a few ways to see if your data is helping or hurting your performance.

If we recover faster, we adapt better and can get more out of our training - in less time.

Here are 3 ways to improve your recovery.

Spoiler --> There is no secret.

Those who succeed just do the basics really well.

Enjoy!

We hear a lot about "core" training as runners, yet a lot of the popular information completely misses the mark.

Here's an in depth discussion on the "core," how to train it, and why people do it so badly.

Fair warning: this one gets into the weeds.

More often than not, we miss the mark when it comes to quantity of training.

Listen to hear why, how, and what you might do to make it better.

As much as I love and appreciate specific training, a lot of testing metrics can provide more distraction than assistance.

In this episode I discuss why I don't recommend them for most people and what you could do instead.
