Why Some Discomfort Is Actually Progress.

Every runner knows the ache in the legs, the lungs screaming, the halfway point when doubt starts whispering.

New research shows endurance athletes don’t just get fitter — they train their pain threshold too. 

On the gear side, the next wave is already here: a major brand is developing powered shoes that will change what “running when it hurts” even feels like. 

So if your body is talking to you this wee,k let it. Channel the discomfort into understanding what your engine needs this time.

At Pinnacle Performance and Andy McGhee Coaching, we believe the tough sessions don’t break you. They build you.

“It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about showing up and staying open to the lessons.”
