Most ultrarunners aren’t undertrained.
They’re just optimizing for the wrong things.
In this episode, I break down the 3 biggest training mistakes that quietly cost athletes hours in a 50K, 100K, or 100-miler — and how to fix them immediately.
We dive into:
• Why running your easy miles “kind of easy” is sabotaging your fitness
• The hidden downside of doing too much easy running
• How to identify the ONE limiter holding back your race performance
• Why flexibility (not rigidity) is the real key to breakthrough training
• How to build durability, aerobic power, and smart discipline
If you want your training to actually translate to race-day performance, this episode will change how you approach your next block.
