Episode 44: The Counterintuitive Approach to Running Faster for Tactical Athletes
The tactical community loves simple solutions: want to get faster? Run faster. But the reality is far more nuanced.
In this episode, we cover five counterintuitive strategies that actually work for improving run times.
What You'll Learn:
- Why most tactical athletes start running without the right baseline (and what to test instead)
- The training variable you should focus on that isn't pace or distance
- Why your watch might be holding back your progress
- How running faster actually teaches you to run easier
- Why even coaches need coaches, so you may need one too
The counterintuitive approach isn't about hacks or shortcuts. It's about doing the opposite of what your ego tells you.
Listen in to drop your run times!
