About this listen

In this episode of The Trail Running Briefing, we explore one of the most important but misunderstood ideas in endurance training: you often run faster by slowing down more often. Many runners make the mistake of pushing too hard on easy days, turning most of their training into moderate effort and limiting recovery, consistency, and performance. This episode explains why truly easy running is essential for building aerobic fitness, supporting recovery, and preparing you to perform better in key sessions and races. The message is simple: easy runs should feel easy, and that discipline is often what leads to long-term progress.
