Hi, I'm Coach Dylan Belles! Over the past decade, I've trained with and learned from some of the best athletes in the world. Now, I’m sharing those experiences—both as a runner and a coach—with you. This podcast sheds light on training, racing, and the insights I’ve gained along the way. Whether you're one of my current athletes or just curious to learn ways you can train better (or perhaps differently), I invite you to join in and enjoy the ramblings!

    The Case for Hill Training: Stronger, Smoother, Faster

    Hill training has been a staple of great coaching for more than 70 years, long before sports science could explain why. In this episode, we break down every major type of hill workout - short neuromuscular sprints, medium aerobic-power repeats, long sustained climbs, and uphill threshold sessions. We explore the science behind each, the historical foundations from coaches like Lydiard, Cerutty, Bowerman, and Canova, and why hills often deliver bigger benefits with less stress than flat intervals. If you want to build strength, improve running economy, raise your aerobic ceiling, and train harder without breaking down, this is your blueprint.
