Steady State Running Q&A Part 1: Consistency, Coaching, Warm-Ups, and Jakob vs. Kerr #18

In this episode of the Spewak Training Podcast, Danny Stults continues the “Steady State Running” series with Spewak Training owner Mark Spewak for the first part of a listener Q&A covering training, coaching, race preparation, and the current state of professional running. Mark and Danny start with one of the broadest questions in running: how do you actually improve? They discuss why consistency matters more than occasional high-mileage weeks, how runners should build volume gradually, and what everyday athletes can learn from professional runners without simply copying elite training. They also explore what makes a good coach, including adaptability, communication, long-term development, and genuinely believing in an athlete. The conversation then turns to proper warm-ups for workouts and races, from dynamic movement and easy running to drills, strides, shakeout runs, and preparing the body for harder efforts. Mark and Danny close Part 1 with a lighter debate over Jakob Ingebrigtsen vs. Josh Kerr and what makes their rivalry—and the current era of professional distance running—so entertaining.In today's episode, you will hear about such topics as: Consistency and Long-Term Running Improvement What Makes a Good Running Coach Workout and Race-Day Warm-Ups Jakob Ingebrigtsen vs. Josh Kerr In today's episode, you will hear about such topics as:\ - Consistency and Long-Term Running Improvement - What Makes a Good Running Coach - Workout and Race-Day Warm-Ups - Jakob Ingebrigtsen vs. Josh Kerr Reach out to Mark Spewak:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/marketmilestl Email: [email protected] Spewak Training Website:https://spewaktraining.com/ Reach out to Danny Stults: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/dstults_._/ Website:https://spewaktraining.com/danny
