Summary
Spencer and Oli explore how stress really affects fitness, recovery and running performance. They unpack why stress isn’t just “in your head”, how everyday pressure can change your body, and why hard training can backfire when your system is already overloaded. From cortisol and sleep to Zone 2 runs, recovery, anxiety and allostatic load, this is a practical explainer on why runners need to think beyond miles, pace and workouts. Because sometimes the thing stopping you getting fitter isn’t your training plan — it’s the stress you’re carrying into it.
