DB Performance Running Podcast ·

2026/01/08

DB Performance Running Podcast ·

2026/01/06

In this episode, I break down the concept of muscle tension, and explain why race-week training should preserve useful tension rather than eliminate it. We’ll look at the difference between fatigue and readiness, why the nervous system detunes faster than aerobic fitness, and how overly passive tapers dull coordination and stride quality.You’ll learn how short, controlled faster running keeps the body responsive without adding fatigue, how to approach race week with intention, and what “ready”

How can we change that?This episode reframes the off-season as a critical training phase, not complete downtime. You’ll learn how to replace race-driven motivation with purpose, build structure without burnout, and set practical goals that keep progress moving when there’s no start line in sight. I'll break down how to train with intent during lighter periods of

DB Performance Running Podcast ·

HIIT & VO₂max Training: What Actually Makes You Faster

VO₂max training is often misunderstood and misapplied.In this episode, i'll talk you through the basics of VO₂max intervals, VO₂ kinetics, and why many HIIT workouts fail to deliver the intended aerobic stimulus. Using recent research comparing long versus short VO₂max intervals, I'll help explain why time spent near VO₂max matters more than pace, heart rate, or perceived effort.We also explore how VO₂max training fits into marathon preparation, why it plays a supporting, non-dominant role,
