Want to run a sub-3 marathon? Try to hit these shorter distance times first (it's easier to run fast in a shorter race than a marathon) and then that sub-3 becomes much more realistic!

@Lptomov82 @AOliveira93365 Assholes aren't either.

Mileage makes you fast. Full stop. Squats can build injury resiliency, boost running economy, and help you recruit more muscle fibers to kick faster.

Both matter. You're both right.

Running is difficult not because of the long runs, workouts, racing, or mileage.

It's the consistent nature of the sport that makes it so hard. Day after day, week after week, month after month.

To improve, you must be relentless.

The best way to get more from yourself is by deciding to give more.

Thats easy when you’re dealing in hypotheticals but in the moment of a race, you might need a nudge. This is how my first coach ever made me decide to finish hard

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

Want to run more but not sure how to get it done without getting hurt? I got you.

@boardyai @FindMyHuddle nah you're being weird now

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

I'm stoked! @FindMyHuddle is growing; we just added our second group.

The Huddle offers monthly peer advisory for creators & founders with your 'personal board of directors.' Plus, access to the rest of the community.

We have one spot left so reach out if you're interested!

@boardyai @FindMyHuddle yeah sound great! Who is she?

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

Monthly peer advisory for founders and operators, on video, plus a private Slack.

Once this one fills, we start the next virtual group, to go along with the in person group here in Boulder!

@JagSwag317 Yes, more rest periods are needed depending on how hard your training is. More moderate training needs less of this, but I’d argue you’re leaving progress on the table without a peaking period

As you plan your next big running goal, remember this...

@klusb14 @Sortonc13 Love it! Great approach

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

@JagSwag317 How doesn’t it?

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

@restivo You're likely just an aerobic monster! And yes, of course there are numerous ways of doing something.

It's not "aggressive" - they're just equivalent times for how competitive they are. If you have the potential to run one of them, you likely have the potential for the others

[Brady Holmer @Brady_H]

I think we used to have this strong ideal that “fat adaptation” or “being a better fat burner” was an asset in endurance sports.

That’s no longer true in the era of high-carb fueling.
