"Thanks for this, Eric. It makes complete sense and doing your foot strength (and ball) training from TCI has been super helpful for me. Makes a huge difference on the trails. Do you ever supplement these with upper body pulling or any other…"

Hi All. I am restarting the program outlined in TCI after an extended (loooong) layoff from running. I'm working through the 4-6 weeks of 4x:30/week easy runs prior to beginning the performance plan. Should I monitor HR at this early stage to keep the effort easy, or go by RPE? Thank you!See More
