How fast can you really get as a runner? Today we’re digging into your true performance potential — what’s genetic, what’s trainable, and what free race-day strategies most runners never take advantage of.
We’ll talk about:
Why two runners with the same plan can progress at totally different rates
The role genetics play (and why they don’t determine whether you can be a strong runner)
How personalized, consistent training creates year-over-year gains
What the research says about long-term improvements for recreational runners
The key strategies you might be leaving on the table that can be costing you your PRs.
Hydration mistakes that can make or break your race
How these strategies combined can translate into real minutes off your next marathon
If you’ve ever wondered what you’re actually capable of, this episode will show you just how much potential you might be leaving on the table.
