Summary
This is a listener inspired topic episode. The topics discussed include, is it better to run once per day or twice, assuming volume and intensity equates. I opened this topic up a bit to discuss some other variables to consider when spacing workouts and intensities. Also, my take on ties in major races.

| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:09.9 | All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. |
| 0:14.1 | I'm your host, Zach Bitter. |
| 0:15.4 | And today I have a listener-generated topic question episode for you. |
| 0:20.6 | So I pulled a couple questions out of the list |
| 0:24.3 | that's been sent to me. And like I've been doing, I guess, I'm sort of maybe either opening |
| 0:30.7 | them up to some questions that I feel are sort of related or that would be logical follow-up |
| 0:37.3 | questions to the one specifically asked |
| 0:39.4 | and kind of building a topic around the specific question in general. |
| 0:44.5 | For this episode, there was a kind of like a two-part question that I'm sort of going to |
| 0:48.9 | break into two slightly different topics, but along the same lines. |

| 1:20.1 | One is like, are you equating things like volume and intensity between the two versus, say, |
| 1:26.1 | having a situation where doing one single run |
| 1:28.6 | and then adding a second run to that or even a scenario where with the two single runs, |
| 1:34.5 | you exceed the volume that you would with the single run. |
| 1:39.5 | For this one, we're going to look at it and we're going to equate those for the most part |
| 1:42.5 | in terms of just looking at it through that lens, like what is the better way to go about it or is there a |
| 1:48.5 | better way to go about it, I guess I should say. And the next part of that type of topic is like |
