You’re training… so why aren’t you improving?

👋🏻 Hello Reader...!

Today's reading time was drastically reduced to 2 minutes 😂

I have decided to change the structure of the newsletter, to change it to a shorter version and an extended one to my personal blog, which also have some other and really nice post. Hope you like it, but moving forward I’ll make your Tuesday morning read on your cell phone a little more faster. Hope you keep enjoying my content and thanks again for been part of this awesome community....and I just added new section below; The Weekly Scout: Gear & Elite Performance.

¡Registrarme!

You’re consistent.
You’re disciplined.
You’re showing up.

So why are you not improving… yet?

Here’s the reality most runners miss—especially women:

You’re training the same way every day
Your body isn’t receiving a clear signal to adapt
And your physiology is being ignored, not optimized

For female athletes, this matters even more.

Hormones influence:
→ Recovery
→ Energy availability
→ Adaptation to training

If your plan doesn’t respect that…
you’re not just plateauing—you’re limiting your potential.

Post of the week

The goal isn’t more effort.
It’s better structure + smarter variation.

👉 The athletes who improve don’t train harder.
They train differently.

Take a moment and ask yourself:

Are you actually progressing…
or just repeating?

If this resonates, share it with someone who’s “doing everything right”… but still stuck.

👉 Read the full article to understand exactly what to change.

The "Squishy vs. Stiff" Debate: New Foam Biomechanics Study

A study published this week in the Journal of Sports Biomechanics compared ultra-soft foams (like Nike ZoomX) vs. stiffer Peba foams (like Saucony PWRRUN HG). It found that runners with lower cadences (<160 bpm) benefit more from the "stiff" foams, as "squishy" foams lead to energy dissipation (leakage) if the foot contact time is too long.

Confident enough to start. Humble enough to keep learning.
