## Resource

Is your obsession with the finish line actually sabotaging your race? Elite endurance runner Hugo Fry has lived the highs of peak performance and the crushing lows of a blown race day. In this episode, he reveals the hard-earned truth that most runners ignore: the "most important week" of your training is often the one where you do the least. By exposing the mental toll of chasing a number at the cost of your life, Hugo explains why the restlessness of the taper is a sign of strength, not weakness. Moving beyond simple mileage, he also breaks down the "formula for consistency" and why finding joy in the process is the only way to survive the marathon’s ability to humble the best. From the reality of training in Kenya to the science of injury-free progression, Hugo offers a masterclass in reclaiming your sanity while still getting faster.
