    The Good-Enough Approach to Double Threshold
    2026/11/03
    The Norwegian method has become running’s latest formula. But its value isn’t in blindly copying double-threshold sessions or chasing perfect lactate numbers. Steve and Jon unpack the principle beneath the method: control the effort, create a signal the athlete can absorb, and repeat it long enough to adapt. A conversation about RPE, survivorship bias, individualized…

    Rethinking Recovery: The Essentials of Rest and Resilience
    2026/08/24
    Steve Magness and John Marcus rant about the “recovery industrial complex,” arguing that while recovery knowledge has improved, monetized gadgets can waste money, create psychological fragility, and give a false sense of control—especially as aging brings non-negotiable limits. They emphasize prioritizing foundational recovery: consistent good sleep (the key “canary”), adequate fueling and hydration, and managing…
