In this episode, I’m recapping a strong week of racing and training across the team - from podium finishes to smart efforts on tough courses. I’ll walk through the key workouts that stood out, highlighting how consistency and good execution continue to build fitness.

I’m also sharing some important coaching reminders:

• Why pace is just an output - not the full picture

• How to adjust mid-run or mid-race when things aren’t going to plan

• The role of effort-based training, especially in challenging summer conditions

Plus, a quick note on why strides and short hill sprints are worth keeping in your rotation, even when volume is high.
