What This Episode Is About
A behind-the-scenes look at how I programme a typical first-month week for a client running 50+ hours at work. Not the highlight reel. Not the fantasy plan. The actual week, session by session, that gets a professional runner back on the road without the nervous system pulling the emergency brake. This episode is about minimum effective dose. What it is. Why it matters more than maximum effort. And why the least you can do that keeps you progressing is usually the answer.

What You’ll Take Away:

• Why most 50+ hour week runners are training against their own nervous system, not with it
• The CFO analogy. How your body manages an energy budget and why it stops trusting you when you overspend
• What minimum effective dose actually means. And why it's not about doing the least
• A full week of programming for a first-month client, session by session, with the reasoning behind each choice
• The one hack for making strength training survivable inside a fighting-diaries week
• Why the A-type instinct to go all in is exactly what breaks the plan
• How to know when you're ready to layer more on. And how to know when you're not
