3 RUN WORKOUTS Every Endurance Athlete Needs

Jackson returns from the sidelines sharing his hip recovery story and cautious plan to rebuild running fitness. Nick Chase breaks down his final weeks of Roth prep, long training blocks, and treadmill hacks for VO2 work, while Garrick Loewen checks in on training, ultra-crewing vibes, and baby-watch updates. The trio digs into three essential run sessions every long-course triathlete should do (over/unders, purposefully paced long runs, and short VO2 hill efforts), plus favorite track workouts like “The Michigan,” treadmill tips, and using a foot pod for consistent pacing. They also recap North American racing (Happy Valley), chat World Cup soccer, TV picks, and finish with a fast-paced pass-or-smash segment and crank-spinning gripes.
