There’s a lot of information out there about how to improve your running performance, but it can be overwhelming trying to figure out what to trust and how to fit this all in with your busy lifestyle.

It would be great if we could spend the whole day training and recovering like the elites but for most of us, the reality is that we need to fit training around other priorities such as jobs, family, social obligations, and more.

That’s why we’ve brought on two of our expert coaches, Alex and Andie, to chat with showrunner Cory about what small changes you can make that have the biggest impact on running performance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The workouts and strategies that serve as the foundation for optimal training
The nutrition tweak that has the biggest impact on performance
The single most important recovery tool that you should never skip
And a recap of the other variables that have the biggest impact on performance relative to the time and effort required
