Are We Too Addicted to Metrics? - With Michael Cawley

MP3•Episode home

In a world where every ride is tracked, every watt analyzed, and every metric scrutinized, are we losing something essential? Today, Anthony sits down with Michael Crawley—endurance researcher and author who lived and trained with elite Ethiopian runners—to explore a radical idea: that performance isn’t just found in the numbers, but in how it feels.

Drawing on powerful insights from a culture that trains by rhythm, intuition, and community rather than tech, this conversation challenges our obsession with data and asks: what if the key to progress isn’t more precision, but more presence? Whether you’re data-driven or deeply intuitive, this episode will make you rethink the way you train.
