Episode 29: R2TR V1 feat: Cal

This week on the LCA pod, we’re joined by Calum — a man who’s gone from chewing up the trails to sharpening the blade for the 10K at Ballarat.We get into the shift from long-haul suffering to structured speed, heart rate training (what does that mean?), and how to adjust the plan when fatigue starts whispering. There’s some Ballarat chat, a bit of injury management honesty, and a reminder that trusting the process can be harder than it sounds.We also wander into shoe chat (of course), participation vs performance culture and why Backyard Ultras are both ridiculous and brilliant at the same time.Plenty of poorly researched content, a few personal wins, and the ongoing theme: trying to get better without pretending we’re elites.Staying under the low ceiling as always.
