Mastering Pacing: Learn the significance of monitoring your easy run pace to ensure it reflects genuine fitness gains rather than forced efforts. Lindsay emphasizes the delicate balance between pushing for speed and nurturing organic growth in your running pace.

Lindsay shares expert advice on managing this intense training load wisely to avoid overtraining and ensure recovery.

Maintaining Fitness and Discipline: With the temptation to constantly break personal bests, Lindsay discusses the importance of disciplined training. Understand the difference between fitness-induced improvements and the risk of overdoing it, especially in the crucial weeks leading up to race day.
