Speaking of learning... listen now to learn more! What You Will Learn Embracing the variables that happen in a race and view them as a better experience Why time goals shouldn't be ever...

Most people have 2 speeds; fast or slow. What if I told you that everyone needs a third speed - a middle gear. Think more of a 4 out of 10 rather than 6 out of 10 Studies have shown that training at 65% of your maximum output allows you to go faster using little energy. Life is the same. In your day to day - go shift into your 4 out of 10 gear. This will help you to stay fresh while seeing incremental and sustainable gains. Then your ready for whatever challenges the world WILL bring! What You W...

Listen to this episode if you want to find out how to think differently to train and race better. If you base your endurance sports and fitness goals on what other people around you are doing (anecdotal), you might be missing out on some AMAZING sh*t in life. The opposite of anecdotal thinking is first principles thinking. It's a different but powerful alternative. You can apply this to anything from health, to fitness and all other areas of your life. I focus on my sub 3 hour marathon accomplis...
