My Uphill Athlete coach Sam Naney asked me for some thoughts on persevering with training when a big objective gets nixed or thrown into doubt by circumstances beyond our control.

In this episode co-founder discusses the concept of Aerobic Base/Zone 2. The emergence of this…

But for practicing athletes, the answer doesn’t matter. And it could be detrimental to know for sure.The important thing to realize is that training stress is only one stressor among many, and for non-professional athletes, it’s the one stressor that the athlete has complete control over. Athlete immunity is about more than training Imagine that you’re playing a game of Jenga. You pull away the plastic pile guide. One by one, you pull out blocks and stack…
