You’re doing the easy runs. You’re strength training. You’re staying consistent… so why are you getting slower?

In this episode, we unpack the brutal truth about running progress, ageing, marathon fatigue, strength training mistakes, and why your fitness might be hidden under layers of fatigue. Before you panic over a slower 5K time trial, listen to this.
