Watch and read this here. The ultimate showdown: Mike Trees takes on AI to create the perfect training plan!
In the world of run training, the battle lines between old-school human coaching and high-tech AI guidance are drawn. While AI brings the big guns with its data-crunching skills, delivering precision and convenience, it can't quite replicate the human touch. Coaches are like those wise sheriffs in Western movies who read the room, adapt on the fly, and truly get the emotional lay of the land. They tailor training to the oscillation of life—your feelings, your crazy schedule, the things you don't even think to quantify. So, in this digital age, what's a runner to do? Jump on the bandwagon of Team AI, or stick with the experience and wisdom of a personalized training plan? Let's find out which is best.
In this episode we’ll find out;

If your running sucks, it might be because you're weak AF... just kidding, not really.
Look, we all want to be better runners—to run faster for longer and feel like we're cruising while everyone is huddled over a trash can hurling up their GU gels. But here's the hard truth most runners don't want to admit: they are weak. Don't worry—I've got the fix with 10W2S's founder and resident physiotherapist, Sam Shearman.

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.

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.

As runners and endurance athletes (Hey triathletes and cyclists!), we all love knowing what you should do!
But sometimes it’s nice to look at the inverse. Inverse just means the opposite. In the context of running and training, knowing what IS NOT good for you is just as effective as knowing what is.
The point of this episode is not to embarrass anyone, but to get you to think more about what you are doing by again, looking at the opposite of what good is. This is what Mike Trees calls “training smarter”
The top 10 things runners should never do!
Ignore pain: if it hurts stopSkip your warm-up/cool downNever stretchExpect a Personal best/personal record at every raceFollow a training plan to the letter..... you must be flexible as we all have good days and bad daysStart off a race too fast. You should aim for negative splitsNot rest enoughGo too hard on easy daysPut off your recovery meal. Try and eat something within 30 mins of finishing trainingObsess over numbers and what other people doSo here’s what to expect in this episode;
We’ll start off with a quick warmup to see where we are at in our current trainingThen get into the core of this episode - The 10 Things Runner's Should Never DoThen end it with our episode question - Should you wear super shoes as much or as little as possible?

Which is better - run or bicycle commuting?
What if I told you that your commute, yeah… that same old route you take every day, could be your new secret weapon in your running arsenal? It's time to change up your mentality on what you think you know about getting from point A to point B.
Welcome to the dope world of run commuting, where every step isn't just a path to going somewhere else, but a leap towards a healthier, more badass version of yourself.
By the end of this, you're not just going to see run commuting as a new alternate option; you'll view it as an indispensable part of your day. I’ll dive deep into the hows and whys, cutting through the excuses and misconceptions with a mix of hard truths and unexpected insights.
Say peace to the 'but I can't because...' mindset. We’re going to tackle every barrier, real or imagined, and I'll show you how integrating this simple yet powerful habit can transform not just your fitness, but your entire perspective on daily life.
And as a bonus I’ll do all of this with my great friend and guest co-host Remy B Reel. Stick around for how he’ll try to change my mind by arguing the side of bike commuting and why it’s way better.

The More is More Paradox of Training and Life. If I told you that less is more, you would probably believe me, right? Unfortunately, most people’s brains think more is more. It just makes sense. The more you work the more returns you get out. The hedonic treadmill in its most purest form.As a runner or even in your career/school life you work hard you get the results.
From understanding the law of diminishing returns to exploring historical perceptions of effort and reward, we're going on a journey that's part facts, part theories and 100% something you need.
We'll debunk myths with a fun real-world example, balance the scales of risk versus reward, and argue why, sometimes, less really is best. Expect to learn about focusing on higher output, not just more input, and why this approach might just transform your training, and life, for the better.
Stick around till the end, and I promise you, you'll leave with a fresh perspective on training and life that could change the way you run, work, and live. Let's find that sweet spot together – the one where less effort leads to more gains, and life feels just a bit lighter.

Back when I ran track in college, I had a decent amount of raw genetic talent to run faster. But as I graduated to endurance running, my inefficient overstriding led to some serious knee injuries. Imagine how fast I could have been if I actually worked on my form.
In the 80s it was mostly thought good running form was a natural talent and not a skill to be worked at and acquired. If you compare my run form from now to 20 years ago it's a world of difference.
Learn the 7 best tips to run your fastest and avoid injuries.

If you want to save 25 years of embarrassing run failures and mistakes, please keep reading (or watch or listen to it here).
I decided to return in time to one year ago and finally finish that list of those 40 things about running that I wish I had known 25 years back.
In part one, some epic stuff was said, and even more epic failures were done. But with part two, I really wanted to dig deep into more of the mental stuff I’ve learned and the physical. I also got through those first 13 things and said to myself, “Sh*t, this is getting way too long; let me break this up into three parts before I bore these kind folks that took the precious time to read this thing.”
So I present part two, 16 more things I wish I had known 25 years back to the world. (If you’re keeping score at home, that’s 29 things in total. Part three should wrap it all up, and I’ve learned a lot about this long listicle-formatted newsletter… never again… I think.)

Most people start running to lose body fat, right? All their running friends are skinny, so losing body fat is what happens, right? Scientists have been saying for a while now that you can't outrun a bad diet, and I mostly agree. It's like jumping off a cliff and building a plane on the way down. I'm not saying it's impossible. But it's pretty hard to do. Most people can't actually do it.
But what if I were to tell you that there's actually a way that you can maintain and or lose body fat so you feel light, spry, loose, free? Well, I think I might have actually found that way. Listen on to find out how you can lose and maintain your body fat and more on this episode of DLake Deliberates.
I do a deep dive around the idea that running alone may not be enough to lose body fat. While many people start running with the goal of shedding pounds, the truth is that diet plays a crucial role in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. I know that while it is possible to outrun a bad diet, it is a challenging feat that most people struggle with.
I present a potential solution for maintaining and losing body fat that I’ve figured out through a lot of trial and error.
Through my own personal experiences as a runner and endurance athlete I offer insights on how to continuously improve run smarter and overall live better as a human.

In this episode, you will learn the top three things we think a person new and even experienced to the marathon should focus on that they usually don't.
I have a saying, the marathon isn't twice as hard as a half marathon. It is 2 to the 2nd power. It's exponentially harder, so that's 4 times harder than a marathon. I had the privilege of getting exclusive insider info from James Constantine, the digital marketing manager for PONT3, who delivered the event on behalf of the Sydney Marathon. If you don't live in Australia, you probably may not know that they are now a candidate for the Abbott's World Marathon Major Series, and if chosen, would be the seventh one.
There are so many reasons why this is exciting, and not to mention, I live in Sydney, Australia, I have been for 12 years, so all my running friends from around the world might come and see me versus me going out to see them. While James is a sporting event marketing wizard, he's also deeply involved in the running community here in Sydney, Australia. I literally see him everywhere. So much so that he just won his latest half marathon and posted a super speedy time at one hour and 17 minutes.
We focus on the top three things that new and experienced marathon runners should prioritize but often overlook. Our first point emphasizes the importance of appreciating the experience beyond just tracking time. The Sydney Marathon is highlighted as an example of a race that goes beyond being a mere competition, with its iconic route across the Harbour Bridge and finish line at the Sydney Opera House. Our second point discusses the remarkable growth and success of the Sydney Marathon, which has significantly increased participants. Lastly, insights from the race director, Wayne Lardon, highlight how the event showcases the best runners in the world and inspires people of all ages to take up marathon running.

The GREY ZONE for athletes is similar to purgatory in Catholic/Christian religious circles. In the in-between place right after you die, you’re not alive but you’re also not in the afterlife. You’re really only mildly suffering in a hybrid limbo state. Most coaches preach to not stay in the grey zone and if you’re training for a run or endurance event, you might know to follow the 80/20 rule. Eight out of ten runs should be easy like very easy and two of those ten should be hard… like very hard.
But where can grey zone runs fit that is in between easy and hard? Listen on to find out more.

Vo2 Max building and hill workouts is the main focus on this.
I go deep and tell you why vo2max building workouts are effective, different types of workouts and what actually makes a vo2max building workout different than the others
Then I shift into a special hill sprint workout that I think is super valuable for you to have in your "workout toolbag" of sorts

Too many runners train in ‘the grey zone’, too fast for an easy run but too slow for a hard run. Nose breathing is a natural way to ensure your easy runs are easy, because you can not supply enough oxygen to the muscles if you run too fast.
A 2018 study published in the International Journal of Exercise Science showed breathing through your nose makes your heart rate higher than breathing through your mouth, at the same pace.
Listen, watch and read on as we go super deep on this.
