#66 - Q&A - Balancing Strength Training with Running, Training in the Dark, and Preparing Mentally for an Ultra
Description
It’s time for some Listener Questions! Tommy dives into eight great questions from listeners from how to structure quality sessions, to balancing strength with running volume, to preparing for the mental battle of an ultra. We also get into the frustration of wanting to do more but being held back by niggles and injuries, finding consistency, and what really matters in long-term training. A practical, honest episode packed with takeaways you can use on your next run.
