About this listen
This is the episode that ties everything together.
Most runners think injury is random. That shin splints just happen. That bonking is inevitable.
It’s not.
In this season-anchor episode, Coach Chris and Coach Maya consolidate the entire Half Marathon Training Plan system into one clear, practical framework designed to keep you healthy from Week 1 to race day.
The 5-Layer Injury-Proof Blueprint:
- 📉 Layer 1: The Load — Why training structure matters more than your shoes.
- 💓 Layer 2: The Engine — How Zone 2 protects your tendons and aerobic base.
- ⚙️ Layer 3: The Mechanics — Why cadence and comfort beat carbon plates.
- ⛽ Layer 4: The Chemistry — How fueling and magnesium reduce breakdown.
- 🧠 Layer 5: The Mind — Why burnout is the most common “injury” in training.
