Show Notes
Coach Chris unpacks what it really takes to improve as an endurance athlete—beyond just logging more miles or training harder.
She dives into some of the methodology that she and her coaching team use for their athletes, including:
- The key principle that underpins every successful training plan (and how to know if you're doing it right)
- Why your heart rate zones might be steering you wrong—and how to truly dial in your intensity
- The real secret weapon for recovery (hint: it’s not a supplement or fancy device)
- How to decode your fitness, fatigue, and form using data that many athletes overlook
- Why big performance gains often come from small technical tweaks—not more time on the road
- What elite athletes are tracking that most weekend warriors aren’t (but should be)
- And why the smartest athletes focus less on doing more—and more on doing it better
