In this episode, I recap recent race results and workouts from my athletes, highlighting their performances, challenges, and wins. I talk about how weather conditions can impact race outcomes, the role of mental resilience in both training and racing, and share some takeaways on effective training strategies. I also include a few recommendations—both a podcast and a product I’ve been using lately. Plus, I dive into how I’ve been rethinking VO₂ max training as athletes get older, and why recovery matters just as much as the workouts. And finally, I break down the pros and cons of run streaks—and why a balanced approach to training always wins.
