Peacock Energy, The Most Overrated Flex In Running
About this episode
Easy runs were never meant to be a performance — yet here you are, scrolling Strava, pretending recovery days are races. This episode shreds Peacock Energy — the fake confidence, ego pacing, and low-budget Zone 2 runs that make you look fast but leave you weak. Your splits don’t mean squat to your mitochondria, your heart rate, or your actual fitness. Stop feeding your ego and sabotaging your body. Run for fitness, not for followers.
