Ever feel like you're not doing enough to prepare for your next race? In this episode, we flip the script on undertraining. Instead of seeing it as a failure, we explore how strategic undertraining can be your secret weapon. Join me as we discuss why a slightly less-than-perfect training cycle can lead to a stronger, healthier body and a sharper mind on race day. You'll learn why being 10% undertrained is often better than being 5% overtrained, and how this new mindset can lead to your most enjoyable and successful race yet.
The Difference Between Undertraining and Overtraining: We break down why overtraining is often a greater threat to your race goals and long-term running health.
The Power of a Fresh Mind and Body: Discover how coming to the start line rested and motivated can unlock a surprising performance.
Why Long-Term Fitness is Your "Bank Account": We talk about how your years of consistent running build a foundation you can rely on, even with a less-than-ideal training cycle.
Racing Smarter, Not Harder: Learn practical strategies for the undertrained runner, from smart pacing to using the run/walk method to finish strong.
