Balancing Training and Sustainability: Episode 376 of Real Life Runners
In episode 376 of the Real Life Runners podcast, we discuss the challenges of balancing all the advice on training, eating, and living healthier lives for optimal performance, especially for real-life runners with busy schedules. We delve into the science and practicalities behind different training philosophies, including the benefits and pitfalls of sprint training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), as well as the importance of sustainable progress through creating habits one step at a time. Highlighting our experiences with high school cross country runners, we emphasize how proper distribution of training load, adjustments based on real-time conditions, and gradual habit changes can lead to sustainable success and avoid injury and burnout.
