Is the 80/20 method just for advanced runners logging 50+ miles a week? In this episode, we push back on that popular belief and make the case that runners of all levels—from first 5Ks to marathoners—can benefit from 80/20 training. We’ll explain what the method is, why it works, and how it builds aerobic strength, discipline, and long-term durability.

We’ll also tackle the real question:

Are your easy runs actually easy—or just less hard?

If you’re tired of running on empty, getting injured, or stalling out in your progress, this episode is for you.

✅ Learn how to structure 80/20 into your week

✅ Spot the signs your “easy” runs are still too hard

✅ Hear why slowing down might be the smartest move you
