In this episode, I break down the real costs when volume is mismanaged. I share what I’ve learned firsthand while building toward Ironman Arizona—how I fuel hard work without under-eating, protect muscle, keep hormones in check, and use recovery and sleep as performance tools. This isn’t fear—it’s a framework. If you’re pushing big miles, you need a plan that matches your ambition: smart nutrition, balanced programming, intentional recovery.
