In this episode, Nick Hancock hosts trail and ultra-running coach Jason Koop to talk about ultra running training, performance, and the role of AI in coaching.

Jason shares how he coaches both elite ultra runners and everyday athletes, and what actually drives improvement. They break down key training principles like progressive overload, increasing mileage, periodization, and recovery, along with how elite athletes use highly individualized training, nutrition, and strength work to gain an edge.

You’ll also learn:

• Why increasing running volume is often the most effective way to improve
• How to use DIY training camps to boost performance
• The biggest differences between elite and recreational runners
• How Jason uses AI for coaching, training plans, and athlete feedback analysis
• What the future of running coaches and AI might look like

If you’re training for a marathon, ultramarathon, or trail race, this episode will help you train smarter and understand where endurance coaching is heading.
