Welcome to the first episode of Training Science Summaries (TSS), a monthly series where we break down research into actionable tips to boost your performance. In this episode, Dr. Dan Plews and I explore durability in endurance sports—what it is, why it matters, and how to train it. We discuss the role of strength training in running economy, the importance of training frequency and duration, and the often-misunderstood concept of zone two training.
