    Why 99% of Runners Fail at Strength Training

    Let's run.it.back!!!! A fan favorite from 2025, so I decided to carry it into 2026.  If you're an endurance athlete who feels chronically trashed, your 'sports-specific' routine might actually be the thing holding you back. In this episode, we dive into the nuances of stimulus management. Your body adapts differently depending on the stimulus you give it, BUT it really cares about the total stress. I’m sharing the exact roadmap to help you balance heavy lifting with high mileage so you can get stronger without the burnout. Whether you're a coach or a self-trained athlete, this is how you stop breaking down mid-block and finally start peaking.

    Are You Overtraining or Under-Recovering? Here's How to Tell | Q&A Episode

    Summary In this episode, I'm breaking down how recovery might be the greatest tool you AREN’T taking advantage of in your training to see MASSIVE progress. How and why sleep, nutrition, and hydration aren't negotiable if you want to actually adapt and get stronger. I also share what's been going on with my own training lately, why I finally hired a coach (and why you probably should too), and get real about what it actually means to listen to your body. I also answer your questions about my journey, managing change, and how to know when to push versus when to back off. If you've been grinding hard but not seeing results, this one's for you.
