What adaptations will I make? 3:24 - Time based vs rep/distance 3:35 - F*** the treadmill 4:00 - run slow days slow, less that 70% max HR 4:26 - what's the goal? What are my current PRs? 5:25 - ways I might fail? Injury 5:45 - ways I might fail? Not executing training properly, threshold too fast 6:05 - ways I might fail? Not complying with the actual training 6:21 - What's success besides PRs? 6:33 - What's success besides PRs?

On paper, it’s simple. In practice, it’s risky, especially outside a professional environment. Before I attempt to follow this plan, this episode breaks down: The most likely ways this experiment fails (injury, compliance, intensity errors) My fitness and training background going into it (recent marathon block, high-volume experience) What I learned from the Copying Clayton series—and what I’m carrying forward The adaptations I’m making to account for real-world constraints What success actually looks like before the first workout even happens At the end of the video, I walk through the actual 12-week training log I’ll be using so you can see exactly what’s on the calendar before the experiment begins: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZFpmQV_9cKN2ElL_EnGgviq5zIGgvK-R7s8fyMDybDg/edit?usp=sharing
