314. The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework Part 1: Why Running More Isn’t the Answer

If you’re a runner who feels like you’re doing everything “right” but still not getting the results you want, this episode is for you.

This is The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework – Part 1: Why Running More Isn’t the Answer. And today, we’re going to take a hard look at one of the biggest mistakes runners make when they’re trying to lose weight and improve performance—just doing more miles and hoping it eventually works.

Because for most runners, running more often, longer, or harder doesn’t fix the problem. It actually makes things worse.

In this episode, I’ll explain what’s really happening inside your body, why effort doesn’t always equal progress, and what you should focus on instead if you want to feel lighter, stronger, and make running feel easier again.

This is Part 1 of a short, powerful series designed to give you clarity, quick wins, and a simple framework you can start using right away—without burning yourself out.

So if running feels harder than it should…
if you’re training consistently but your body doesn’t seem to change…
and if you’ve tried adding more miles, more intensity, more discipline—and somehow you’re still stuck…

this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.
