You’ve trained your lungs, built your engine, and logged the miles… but are you leaking speed and energy without realizing it?

In this solo deep dive, we unpack the real meaning of running economy, why it’s more than just VO₂ max, and how it can make or break your performance whether you’re chasing a HYROX podium, crushing hybrid events, or lining up for your next 10K.

Inside, we explore:

• The silent performance killer most runners overlook

• What happens to your form (and speed) when fatigue hits

• Why hybrid athletes have more to gain from economy than pure runners

• The training tweaks that help you run faster without getting fitter

• The gear, strength, and technique upgrades that can change race day entirely

If you’ve ever wondered why some athletes seem to glide while others grind, or why your splits fade after a sled push or set of wall balls, this episode will connect the dots.

🎙 Listen in, and see if your own running economy is helping you… or holding you back.👉 Support Ben’s 55km Sea Shepherd run here ⁠⁠GOFUNDME⁠
