    #76 - Easy Runs Don't Build Weak Tactical Athletes

    Most tactical athletes are skipping base work or running into the ground. And it's costing them recovery, run times, and readiness. In this episode we break down six mistakes that physically and mentally wreck performance - and what to do instead. The tactical athlete who masters easy running builds a base that holds up under sprinting, long days, and capacity on demand. The one who skips it or does it wrong just gets slower.
