STRONGER - FOR LONGER.

Coming out of UMOZ, @_mk.performance and I sat down and looked at where we could find the next gains.

One of the big ones? Durability.

Not just the ability to run fast.
The ability to run fast for longer.
To hold form when the legs are cooked.
To stay strong through the climbs, descents and undulations.
And then to wake up and do it all again.

Because that’s ultra running.

The gains aren’t made from one monster session. They’re built by being able to layer sessions on sessions on sessions.

So strength has become a deliberate part of my week. Lateral strength. Core strength. Single-leg stability. Building a body that can tolerate more load, for longer, without falling apart when the trail starts asking questions.

Nothing particularly sexy about walking uphill carrying dumbbells.

But there’s a reason it’s there.

Building the chassis. Then seeing how hard we can drive it. 🔨
