#177 - Keith Mueller | Improving Endurance with Strength and Mobility

About Keith - In His Own Words:An Ohio native, and the son of a teacher. I have no pedigree or resume as a competitive athlete. Yet, I’ve learned how to be a person through covering ground on foot or two wheels, tinkering in the gym, and being coached by people who paid attention and told me the truth. After an undergraduate degree, I’ve eschewed classic education and broad-but-shallow certifications in favor of the experience and ideas my internal compass points me towards. As a young coach I served group class moms, assisted a 5x state champion cross country team, built long-term personal training relationships, advised weekend warrior runners, and supported those in pain who were trying to reclaim their physicality. When I discovered someone I could learn from, I’ve hired them, traveled to them, or consumed every piece of published writing I could. In 2021 my wife and I relocated to Boulder, CO. A point on the map that’s drawn endurance athletes for decades. Higher Ground Athletics is an idea that I can’t escape; That training for endurance sport has yet to fully arrive at a holistic understanding that will result in the shortest, straightest path to an athlete’s potential. My work is the pursuit of that idea. Website:https://www.highergroundathletics.com/The Path Online Strength Template:https://www.highergroundathletics.com/training2Join The Relaxed Running Training Hubhttps://www.relaxedrunning.com/thetraininghub
