If you feel like you’re doing everything right, but your running still isn’t improving, this episode is for you!

Most runners don’t have a motivation problem. They’re showing up, putting in the work, and pushing themselves. But more effort doesn’t always mean more progress.

In this episode, I break down why your training might not be working, and the key shifts that actually lead to real results.

We talk about:

• Why structure matters more than intensity
• The role of strength training in performance and injury prevention
• Why recovery is a critical part of your progress (not an afterthought)
• And how consistency beats perfection every time

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, plateaued, or constantly fatigued, this will help you rethink your approach and start training in a way that actually works.

And if you’re looking for a structured approach to your training, this is exactly what I build inside Commit.

Post-marathon recovery isn’t just about rest, it’s about strategy. In this episode, we’re breaking down what actually happens in your body after a marathon, and why jumping right back into training too soon can hold you back more than it helps.

We talk about:

• The difference between normal training discomfort vs. injury
• What recovery really looks like (beyond just “taking a few days off”)
• How to ease back into running without sabotaging your progress
• Why the right training stimulus matters if you want to improve

I’m also sharing what’s shifting in my own training as I prepare for my first 50K, how it’s different from other preps, and what I’m focusing on to stay strong, healthy, and consistent.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I pushing myself… or pushing too far?” this episode will help you understand the difference.

📌 Train smarter with the Commit App.

In this episode, we break down the newly updated 2026 strength training guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine — the first major update in nearly two decades, backed by extensive research and real-world application.

If you’ve ever felt confused by sets, reps, or conflicting advice online, this episode simplifies it all. We walk through what’s actually changed, what matters most, and how to apply these guidelines whether you’re a beginner, runner, busy parent, or just looking to get stronger in a sustainable way.

You’ll learn:

• Why consistency matters more than perfection
• Why you don’t need to train to failure to see results
• How 2–3 strength sessions per week can be enough
• What “10+ sets per muscle group per week” really means
• How to tailor your training for strength, muscle growth, or power
• Why you don’t need fancy equipment to build strength

This episode is all about cutting through the noise and helping you train with more clarity, confidence, and purpose — using science-backed principles that actually fit into real life.

Whether you’re lifting at home, in the gym, or balancing strength work with running, you’ll walk away with actionable takeaways you can start using immediately.
