In this conversation, Brad discusses the importance of building running volume safely, emphasizing the need for consistency and a shift from traditional mileage tracking to time-based training. He critiques the 10% rule for increasing mileage, especially at higher volumes, and advocates for a more holistic approach that considers various training stimuli and emotional stability. The conversation highlights the significance of establishing a consistent training routine over six to eight weeks before focusing on metrics and volume increases. In this conversation, Brad Trains discusses the importance of focusing on time rather than mileage in training, the significance of vertical gain and descent in preparation for races, and introduces the Training Stress Score (TSS) as a comprehensive metric for tracking training intensity and volume. He emphasizes the need to consider both ascent and descent when building vertical gain and explains how TSS can help athletes manage their training loads effectively, regardless of their specific training goals.
