Welcome to the one percent better runner. I've spent the last 12 years researching, experimenting on myself and talking to experts to get 1 percent better in my training, racing, and life. All to make it a bit easier for you to try to do it on your own.

I'm Daren DLake runs a lifelong runner and all-around performance optimizer of all things. In this episode, the tables were turned, and I was interviewed by the Run Tok Live podcast crew. I touched on how to get one percent better in your running, the hype around the Sydney marathon, and how they might become a marathon major very soon.

My goal is to slow down the slowing down and perform better as I age, and I went in super depth on my 35-year-plus journey of sprinting as a five-year-old running track through college How I got into Ironman, triathlons, marathons, and now running 5k is my fastest 5k and how I transitioned from music production and being a musician to doing all of this running content to help you out hopefully.

If you want some chatty company on your next run, let's get into it.

In this episode you’re going to find out what happens at the intersection where science meets the pavement – the quest for ultimate running performance. We’ll dissect the importance of power and speed in your resistance/weight training. I’ll answer the question for runners; where does power, speed, strength, muscle endurance, and hypertrophy fit in to an already crowded training plan? Especially for distance runners?!

I’ll even tell my own story of how I switched gears in my training and embraced the fusion of lifting with speed and power. It wasn't just a change in routine – it was a transformation in philosophy.

This episode isn't just about challenging how your muscles move; it's about challenging your mindset.

By the end of this, you'll not only rethink your 1% better training habits approach but you’ll also… (yes get ready for the laundry list)

• Become more resilient so you have less niggling injuries
• Generally more bounce
• Develop that extra gear in your running
• Become more efficient so your easy runs are close to the same speed as your more intense sessions
• Develop your secret weapon at the end of races — speed reserve (more on that later)
• And overall take your training to the next level.
• Yes, that’s a big promise so let’s see if I can deliver.
