Do more miles really lead to better performance? We discuss why recreational runners should not follow elite training plans, taking into account the genetic, recovery, and lifestyle differences. The episode explores the science and benefits behind polarized training, which emphasizes easy and hard training days while minimizing moderate efforts. We highlight the importance of a training plan that fits one's individual life circumstances and current goals, especially for women over 40 experiencing hormonal changes. The discussion includes the impact of polarized training on endurance and body composition and advocates for more flexible and adaptable training strategies to maintain motivation and achieve better results.
