Lesson Learned and Exercise Snacks

In this episode, we do a deep dive on what we consider to be the endurance athlete’s most valuable trait: durability. Sub-topics include: what durability means in an endurance sport context, how to build physical and mental durability, why optimizing for leanness instead of durability is a recipe for disaster, what happens if you don’t have durability, and how to know if you are durable or not. We also share the story of one of our most durability-inspired adventures: running Maine’s 100 Mile Wilderness in 3 days back in 2022. Finally, we share some recent insights from coaching and training, answer more listener questions on swimming, and share some of our favorite Vermont-born gear!
