    #564 Building a More Durable Endurance Athlete with Dr. Jamie Bovay

    Durability is more than cardiovascular fitness—it is the ability to absorb training, build strength, and keep doing what you love over time. Dr. Jamie Bovay joins Coaches Rich Soares and Kristin Overton to explain how metabolic data, strength work, and load capacity can inform better training decisions. They also examine how athletes can evaluate FST, cupping, shockwave therapy, dry needling, and red light by considering each approach’s purpose, evidence, limitations, risks, and measurable outcomes.
