Watch obsessed? Can't do any training without seeing your exact pace? Train in a difficult environment? This episode is for you.

James and I talk about the why and how of running by feel. We give specific examples and cues to use in order to dial into each training zone. Plus, we give some practical tips on how to learn to "use the force" while running as Yoda would have you do.

Running by feel is a lost art, and we want YOU to find it again.

In this episode, we break down the 4 main types of quality work (aka speed work). We talk about the what, why, when, and how of each type, as well as give some examples.

Of course, you don't want to start your speed work until your aerobic foundation is big enough, so we give guidelines on that too!

The 4 types:

• Running econony
• VO2Max
• Threshold
• Race specific

In this episode, we dig into Chapter 4 of the book where we discuss the importance of peaking.

To maximize potential, you will only focus on 2-3 peaks per year, prioritizing those "A races" above all else. In this discussion, we talk about the physiology of peaking and why it is important. Then, we dig into what peaking looks like, how to manage it well, and what to do if you peak too soon.

At the end, we challenge you to commit to peaking only 2 times in 2026!

In this episode, we dig into the why and the how of building miles. Increasing volume is perhaps the #1 way to improve as a runner, so we introduce the FVI framework for safely building miles and talk about how to maintain speed along the way.

Plus, we answer some of the practical questions:

• In what increments should I be building volume?
• How do I maintain speed while doing so?
• What if I miss a day?
• How fast or slow should I be going?

We continue our march through the fundamentals of our training principles. First, this episode starts with a few notes on the subtitle to our book - Elite Training Accessible to All. What does that mean? And why does it mean that ANYONE can use the principles in the book and in our training philosophy b/c we are all human.

Then, we turn to the final 3 principles on the training side of our philosophy - perfect as we start the new year. Happy 2026 everyone!
