In this episode, I sit down with ultra runner, former soldier, and coach Lee Davies to break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in running: how to run faster by slowing down.
We dive deep into MAF training (Maximum Aerobic Function), why most people are running their “easy” runs too hard, and how building a proper aerobic base can transform your speed, endurance, and long-term consistency.
Lee shares how this approach helped him go from constant injuries to running a 2:57 marathon and consistently podiuming ultra races — all while training at a lower intensity.
