In today's episode, I highlighted the important concepts of running base building. It's geared toward those looking to improve their running in a mid distance range (~5 miles) and/or begin a SOF selection prep having already established a great base. Topics included:

-Why it’s important (what happens in the body)
-The difference between a general aerobic base and a running specific base
-What most people do, why it's wrong, & why they tend to do it this way
-What happens when you do too much, too soon
-How to do it right
-Training sessions: easy runs, long runs, cross training
-Other Considerations
