Introducing Fast Twitch Endurance
Episode 82
Thursday, 8 October, 2026

In this episode, Alex and Meredith sit down to talk about Fast Twitch Endurance, their new training program for runners and cyclists looking to build both their aerobic capacity and their strength in the gym. Strength training is becoming more popular in endurance sports, not just because it prevents injury, but because there are some real performance enhancing impacts too. But only if it's programmed properly, which represents a growing pain in both training methodologies as endurance coaches tend to program underwhelming strength sessions and strength coaches opt for non-progressive aerobic work. Fast Twitch Endurance represents the culmination of years of experience as strength and endurance athletes AND coaches. They do it, they study it, they know it and now they are bringing it to YOU to help you prep for a spring race and bank some winter fitness to take into the summer. Applications for Fast Twitch Endurance open on October 15th and close on October 25th. Spots on the Fast Twitch Roster are very limited so make sure you hop on the waiting list so you don't miss out on first dibs. You can join the waiting list here.
