This week I joined Turo Virta in a comprehensive conversation about the foundational principles of endurance training and we discussed a treasure trove of insights for both beginners and seasoned athletes.

The journey began by emphasizing the significance of appropriate volume at the beginning, based on experience, and prioritizing easy endurance training over high-intensity workouts, providing a roadmap for sustained progress.

I also underlined the importance of consistency and enjoyment, shattering the myth of perfection in favor of regular, enjoyable running.

Along with Turo Virta, I explained heart rate variability and its nuanced significance in training and recovery and sought to demystify HRV metrics, making this complex topic accessible to the listeners.

Additionally, delved into the importance of periodization in endurance training and optimal performance principles are explored next with a focus on periodization and the 80/20 rule.
