Ever had a run that feels heavier, louder, and more effortful than it should? In this episode, Coach G breaks down why runs can feel “off” and how to respond like a runner who trains with identity, strategy, and self-awareness.
We explore both physically hard runs and mentally hard runs. You’ll learn how to respond in the moment, adjust with intelligence, and debrief afterward so your future runs benefit instead of spiral.
Plus, we dive into advanced insights most runners never hear: how your nervous system interprets stress as fatigue, why your brain’s pace template doesn’t automatically recalibrate for conditions, and how elite runners extract lessons from every challenging run.
If you want to run with more confidence, clarity, and control - and transform “hard runs” into powerful learning opportunities - this episode is for you.
