Gary Droze, 20x state champ coach and athlete, comes on the podcast to talk all things 5k. This is NOT a beginner runner 5k crash course - this is for the more experienced runner looking to hit their next PR in the 5k. Just in time for fall training...you don't want to miss this. The episode splits into two halves. First, legal race-day performance aids - caffeine dosing, beetroot juice for vasodilation, sodium bicarbonate for lactate buffering, and carbon-plated racing shoes. Second, a full breakdown of how to structure a 5K training week for an experienced runner — accounting for individual fiber-type tendencies, interval design and recovery, tempo/threshold pacing, long-run strategy, strength training placement, and cross-training rules. Also a game of smash or pass - runners' edition.
