About this episode
In the second part of my conversation with Dr Ben Bumguardner we break down what everyday runners can copy from elite sport to stay consistent, avoid injury, and recover faster without overcomplicating training. We also dig into how to use AI training plans safely, plus the simple body signals that tell you when to back off and get checked out.
• taking recovery as seriously as training stress
• prioritising sleep, extra sleep, and naps where possible
• fuelling and hydrating properly, including electrolytes not just water
• scheduling true easy days and recovery periods
• progressing running load without sudden spikes
• using AI tools with better prompts, guardrails, and trusted sources
• trusting intuition and using the 3 to 4 day rule for niggles
• what working with Team USA Track and Field teaches about fine-tuning
• why you do nothing new to an athlete close to competition
• where to find Dr Ben Bumguardner and Alpha Sports online
