You can Google workouts, training plans, nutrition advice, and race strategies in seconds—but does that actually make you better?

In this episode of Running with James, we tackle the question every athlete asks at some point: Can Google coach you? We break down the difference between information and transformation, why more data doesn’t always equal better results, and what’s missing when you try to train without real feedback, accountability, and context.

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite “doing all the right things,” this episode explains why coaching isn’t about having answers—it’s about having the right guidance at the right time.

🎧 Perfect for runners, HYROX athletes, and anyone trying to level up without burning out.

🔥 How to build confidence, pacing discipline, and emotional control

🔥 The mental traps that derail runners — and how to avoid them

Building Your Best HYROX – Week 2: Power + Strength: The Engine That Carries You

In this episode, James, Lauren, and Carlos break down the power behind performance — how building functional strength transforms your HYROX race from survival to domination.

Learn how to develop the kind of strength that lasts — through sled pushes, farmer carries, wall balls, and walking lunges — while still maintaining your running performance. We’ll dive into how to blend heavy lifts with endurance sessions, train under fatigue, and avoid the overtraining trap that derails so many athletes.

Backed by sports science (Rønnestad & Mujika, Sports Medicine, 2014), this episode unpacks how the right kind of strength training improves running economy, endurance, and total race efficiency.

In this episode:

• The key lifts every HYROX athlete needs
• How to balance power and endurance without burnout
• Why strength is the ultimate endurance multiplier
• How to structure your hybrid training week

Whether you’re racing HYROX Dallas or just want to perform better in every event, this episode will help you build the engine that carries you to the finish line.

🎧 Listen. Learn. Lift. Run stronger than ever.
