Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.

All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Bitter.

And today I have a solo episode for you where I'm going to touch on a topic that is about simplifying your training.

So long story short, and I'll get into this with the episode, is I see a lot of information

online about what I guess I'll just call fancy workouts or really kind of creative building

of training programs, which I don't have a problem

with, but I think a lot of times what happens with that is if you have someone who's new

to running or maybe not new, but just generally hasn't followed much structure and is looking

to start doing that, it can sort of be a little bit of a

paralysis by analysis type of a situation where you see so many different options, so many

bells and whistles that you have really no idea where to start or what to believe and what

not to believe.

So I wanted to do an episode where I just made kind of a bare bone simplified approach to targeting some stuff to kind of learn

the process more or less. And then if you want to add some excitement to your training,

you can certainly do that. But this will be kind of like some fundamental type pointers that I think

will help out people who are new to running or looking to add

some structure for the first time.

So a couple of things that I'm going to add in this intro before I start going that

I think will just be helpful as you're listening to itself is I didn't put a lot of info in

there about duration of specific running intensities for the most part because I find that to be

one of the bigger individual pieces to the puzzle.
