Why I Don’t Train Like Most Runners
►► Download FREE Guide → How I lost 2 lbs a week as an athlete with asthma: https://www.athletewithasthma.com/healthy-living-guide
Most runners think the secret to getting faster is running more. But what if that’s actually holding you back?
In this episode, I’m sharing why I don’t train like most runners—and how this unconventional approach helped me win my first 100K ultra and stay injury-free. When I ditched endless mileage for a smarter, more balanced system that included HIIT, lifting, and yoga, everything changed. My strength came back, my plantar fasciitis disappeared, and my endurance skyrocketed.
If you’re burning out, constantly injured, or just want to enjoy running again, this episode will help you build a stronger, faster, more resilient body—without sacrificing your love for the sport.
