Key Points

  • Run easy, finish strong. Use a long-run day to build endurance at an easy, low heart-rate pace, but save some energy to finish a bit faster in the last few miles. This progression-style finish builds strength on tired legs, a different stimulus than classic, high-intensity workouts.

  • Rest is performance. The host skipped a run when feeling rough and felt a big performance boost the next day. Rest days are crucial for adaptation and improvement.
  • Listen to your body. If you’re feeling “ropey,” as the host puts it, taking a rest day is a sign of smart training, not weakness. It always pays off.
  • The goal.
