Coaching Corner
Taper Talk: No one-size-fits-all. I’m leaning into what works for the individual.
Breathwork & Hypoxic Training: Max breath holds after cold water immersion might increase red blood cells, boost EPO, and improve fatigue resistance — all in under 15 minutes.
Training Tweaks I’m Building In:
– Extra long runs with strong finishes
– Short, fast reps for economy + turnover
