We wrap up this mini-series on polarization with the final 5 questions for you.

First, we cover Chris's experience at his first stage race - Moab Run the Rocks - put on by the great folks at TransRockies Running. It is a 3-day stage race event covering ~54 miles of trails over 3 days in/around Moab, Utah. Chris had a blast and shares a little bit about his experiences there in the first 25 minutes of this one.

Then, we get to the final questions on polarization. Are you polarizing your training enough to optimize it?

The full list of questions (including the 4 from part 1):

From periodization to polarization, we cover two "ization" words in as many weeks, and we promise it isn't as boring as it might sound!

With this podcast, we discuss something that might just be at the crux of reaching your potential. Is your training polarized enough?

Plus, we make it fun by turning it into a pop quiz with 4 questions in this episode and more in part 2 coming next week. Grab a #2 pencil and a blue book so you can take the test that will determine if you are on a path to reaching your full potential, or not yet...

We start with some beef that I have been sitting on for a minute. We love our influencers and content creators in the running world, but there is at least ONE thing that a few of them need to stop doing. Let's see if we can agree...

Then, James and I dig into the art, science, and details of periodization. How should your training cycle be constructed in phases? Every. Single. Time. No exceptions or shortcuts.

Oh, and there are 5 periods to know, not the 4 you may have in your head. Can you name them?! Execute these 5 periods on repeat for the rest of your running life, and there will be big things in your future!
