Join coaches JW McKenna (Ultra/Science), Alicia Phillips (Strength/Community), and Anne Sharkey (Nutrition/Masters) for an unfiltered look at endurance training. We combine the science of 80/20 running and triathlon with honest conversations about real life. Each episode features open dialogue, expert insights, and answers to your specific training questions. Whether you're chasing a Boston Qualifier or your first 5K, we’ve got your back.
