s1/e41 "How Long Does It Take To Get Faster?" with Coach Montana Depasquale (@coachmontanadepasquale)

"How long will it take for me to reach xx time?" "How long will it take until I start seeing results?" "How long will it take until I get faster?" Coach Montana Depasquale (@coachmontanadepasquale) joins the show to discuss how long it takes to get faster! Spoiler alert: it depends!

• Why "how long until I see the results I want" isn't the right question you should ask
• Why a race PR isn't the only way to determine "improvement"
• Why training "harder" isn't always better
• Periodizing your training properly for best results
• Why can't I be in "peak" condition all the time?
• Why "testing your fitness" during your taper will sabotage your race day
• Why are my faster paces getting slower/feeling harder when I first start slowing down to easy effort on easy days?
• Committing to the timeframe it takes
