  • Q&A with Jason: Supercompensation, Scheduling Strength, Time vs. Miles, and more
    Dec 5 2024

    Wish you could ask a coach about injury risk, building back fitness after illness, common training errors, and more?

    I collected popular running questions from our YouTube community and am answering these questions:

    • What exactly is supercompensation?
    • How can you build back your fitness after getting sick?
    • What are some pitfalls and traps around beginner runner progressions?
    • Should I count myself as a novice or more advanced runner?
    • Is there any benefit for longer duration of the same mileage between two runners?
    • When in a weekly schedule is a good day to do specific strength training?
    • What are examples of effective core work, strength training or mobility training post-run?

    Send this episode to a friend who has a big running goal for 2025 so they can start the next year healthy.
