If you are running every single day because you believe that’s how your body will "adapt," you need to stop. Running every day does not make you more resilient. It brings you closer to the day you will be forced to quit. In this video, Coach Dimitris explains the "Physiological Gap"—the dangerous delay between how fast your muscles adapt versus how slow your bones adapt. You will learn: ✅ The Bank Account Analogy: Understanding Withdrawals, Deposits, and Supercompensation. ✅ Red vs. White Tissue: Why your heart (Red) is ready but your tendons (White) are breaking. ✅ Systemic Signals: Why waking up at 3 AM or feeling irritable are the first signs of injury. ✅ The 24-Hour Rule: The golden rule for beginners to build a "Steel Chassis." ✅ Streak Challenges: Why "Run Every Day" challenges are gambling with your health. Running isn't about how much you can do today. It's about whether you can still run tomorrow.
