Next Episode: Episode 11: Accountability as a Runner with Regard to the "Performance-Injury Paradox"

In this episode of The Making Strides Podcast AJ and Adam interview sports scientist and endurance coach Ty Mangum about high-intensity training. Most runners know what it is like to run hard whether it be in a workout or race, but most runners don't know how hard they should/can go or how often. What if you're a beginner rather than a seasoned runner? How might that change your approach to high intensities? What if you're on the track or in the mountains for an ultra? Each relies on different adaptations and therefore requires unique aspects of "training at intensity". Ty expands on some of the differences and how you might go about addressing them. Whether you are a coach, runner, or both this is for you if you want to understand training the aerobic more efficiently!
