In August, two young men were in the same place.
Mid-20s
Athletic
Looking for more challenge in life
But both were also stuck…
They were telling themselves the same story:
“I’m not built for endurance.”
Fast forward to November...
One crossed the finish line of his first half marathon.
The other?
He quit after the first week of training. Never even signed up for the race.
So what made the difference?
Knowledge.
One trained smarter - not harder.
He used cross-training, strategic strength work, and a plan built to work with his life, not against it.
The other followed a cookie-cutter running plan that stacked miles too fast - and broke him down before he even got started.
Here's what I've learned coaching triathletes, ultrarunners, and beginners:
You don’t need to pile on miles to become a runner
There are unconventional ways to build endurance while staying healthy and strong
Running a half marathon can change everything about how you see yourself
