Stephen challenges the zone 2 obsession, shares his \"Just Another Sunday\" philosophy for race-day confidence, and ranks the fastest super shoes on the planet. We also discuss why discipline beats motivation, the weight-performance paradox, and his \"patchwork quilt\" approach to finding marginal gains. Plus: Why Mo Farah squats 140kg at 55kg bodyweight, and what it really takes to run fast when no one's watching.
