Description

If treadmill season makes you question your fitness — you’re not alone. This week, Coach Zoë and TJ dig into why treadmill running often feels harder than road or trail running, and how to actually use it to your advantage. They’ll unpack the biomechanics, heat buildup, and calibration quirks that make treadmills deceptively tough — and how to dial in effort-based training so you get real aerobic gains (without chasing meaningless numbers).

Then they dive into adaptogens — what the science really says about ashwagandha, rhodiola, and all those “stress-busting” mushroom blends — and what actually works for performance and recovery.

You’ll walk away with a five-part recovery framework that prioritizes sleep, fueling, and nervous-system regulation over gadgets and gimmicks.

Plus: we’re kicking off our Run Your Best Marathon at Boston webinar series — four sessions that walk you through pacing, fueling, taper, and race-day execution with detailed tools and pro-level insight. Whether you’re running Boston or any spring marathon, this series will help you show up calm, confident, and ready to crush it.
