5 Reasons Your Fitness Is Stuck (and How to Get Unstuck)

from The MicroCast · host Microcosm Coaching

Why does your running fitness plateau, and what can you actually do about it? Zoë and TJ break down the five real reasons endurance athletes get stuck, a lack of training intentionality, under-recovery, chronic under-fueling, a mismatch between training and event demands, and failing to apply progressive overload across more than one lever. This episode also features a coach spotlight with James Nance, a Microcosm coach specializing in multi-sport athletes and RED-S recovery, TJ's mindset heading into race week at Canyons 100K, and a Reddit question on why your legs fall apart after your first 50K.New to Microcosm?
