Summary

Listeners submitted some good questions this week, so we choose three and drove on in: 1. When should I push through and when should I take a break in training? How should “improving “ feel? 2.

1:03.8	Tell me more.
1:05.1	I want to hear, what's your first reaction to that?
1:07.1	Well, because if we got that as a Q&A question, we'd laugh at it, right? I want to know if it's by design or if it's by default. That's what I wanted. Both. It started happening because I was having those ankle and whatever else little nagging things that were happening. I was I was too inflamed after quality work, so I was doing non-impact
