About this listen

The 10% rule has been a go-to guideline for runners for decades—but it ignores how the body actually adapts to training. In this episode, we explain why mileage alone doesn’t tell the full story and what runners should be paying attention to instead.

If you’ve ever followed a training plan perfectly and still ended up dealing with pain, this conversation is for you.


What You’ll Learn

  • Why the 10% rule lacks nuance
  • How training stress actually affects the body
  • Why intensity matters just as much as mileage
  • Common patterns we see in runners who end up injured
  • How to think about capacity, tolerance, and smarter progression
