More runners should optimize their strength training... it's a game-changer.

Plus knowing what questions to ask is essential, and the AI doesn’t know about what it doesn’t know.

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

@sharmanian Great point. I find myself constantly asking questions. Very telling that AI doesn't do that...

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

@5060fit Well put

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

Training vs. Coaching

Coaching is the art of helping an athlete execute training. It's *how to think* about running to maximize potential.

Training is just putting together the volume, workouts, etc.

This is the why I'm skeptical of AI coaching. It's not actually coaching!

@TheAlgoholic Good to know, thank you

Business owners - what's your favorite hosting company for your website?

I might need a change... just got my annual renewal with WPEngine for $3,960 and nearly spit out my electrolytes.

@Naick16 apologies to your nipples

A lot of people aren't realizing that #4 is just a joke...

Want to be a tough runner?

Get used to adversity:

- Running in the heat, cold, sleet, rain, snow, dark
- Getting out at 5am (and 9pm)
- Never cutting a workout without a valid reason
- Wear cotton t-shirts without nipple band-aids

Run more, run faster ⤵️

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Most people don't run enough to reach their potential.

It's just a fact.

The average 3hr+ marathoner does ~40mpw.

No one runs their best marathon on 40mpw.

I understand why: jobs, life, etc.

But the simplest way to improve your PR for novices is to figure out how to run more

We talked for almost an hour about how we're doing this: https://t.co/iuEZSJGrt3

This is the best 10 minutes you’ll spend this year. I’m in nearing month 4 with coach Jason, and let me say this … I’m doing all this – and I’m feeling faster than ever. Just nailed my long run 30km at 5:30/km and nervously looking at next week’s workout. 💪 training

@RUNEGADEpodcast You're crushing it and we're like 2 months in
