Description

Today I have my coach Tom Smith on to chat about Low Volume training. Low volume is getting thrown around a lot, but it can be very different for everyone depending on training age and time availability.

We speak about balance, recovery, session frequency, the minimal effective dose to make progress, and considerations for hybrid training.

I also thought it would be cool for you guys to hear from the person that is a mentor to me, as a coach and a leisurely athlete. I hope you dig it!
