Show Notes – The Aerobic Edge

Episode: Stop Training Too Hard (The SRA Cycle)

Most runners think improvement happens while they're running. It doesn't. It happens after — when you recover, adapt, and come back stronger.

In this episode, we break down why "harder is better" is keeping you stuck, how the SRA cycle actually works, and why recovery isn't passive — it's when you get faster.

No fluff. No generic advice. Just honest coaching.

I'm Joost, running coach at Pacebuddies. This podcast is for runners who are tired of cookie-cutter plans and training hard without getting faster.

No copy-paste schedules. Just honest, no-nonsense conversations about what actually works — whether you're training for your first 5K or your tenth marathon.

New episodes every two weeks.

Stop guessing. Start progressing.
