Hey! Jason Burns here. I really enjoyed episode 220 with Duane. I love hearing about smart training soooooo much! I used to be a “junk miles” guy who could run a super fast 5 km but who would also die at 30 km during longer efforts. I kept trying to fix it by working harder and harder and nothing improved. Now, with the help of Chantelle Erickson I run my hard efforts hard and my long runs super chill. Combined with the properly prescribed weight training and pre hab I feel like a different athlete. In 2024 I took 4 hours off my 100 km time from 2023 and crushed a 100 miler in October. And guess what? I worked smarter not harder. Keep up the good work ! I love the pod. I'm actually in the process of starting my own little Sask centric running podcast in the near future. If it's half as good as yours I will be pleased with myself. Have a nice weekend!
