In this episode, I cover my personal journey of building endurance since 2018 and offer insights into running longer and faster. We'll discuss the adaptations and efficiencies gained through consistent practice. Covering topics such as the importance of aerobic base building, lactate threshold training, and critical velocity work.

I also share my experiences with physical challenges, training methodologies, heart rate and VO2 max training, and training structure. The aim is to provide practical advice for anyone looking to improve their endurance and running performance.
