Street Parking Podcast

Want to level up your endurance—without sacrificing your strength or feeling like you've been hit by a truck? In this episode of The Tune Up, Pat Barber teams up with endurance veterans Molly Vollmer and Danny Soul to decode the art of balanced, sustainable endurance training that fits into your busy life.

You'll discover how endurance isn't just running miles—it's mastering all energy systems, blending modalities like rowing, biking, and running to build a resilient engine for life. Molly shares insights from her shift from a runner to a powerhouse in CrossFit and how she's learned to train smarter, not harder, avoiding injury and building sustainable stamina.

Danny takes us through his journey from being "powerlifting/strength Danny" to embracing running, breaking down key concepts like aerobic capacity, energy systems, and how variance in training enhances performance. Together, they speak to an adaptable framework to start where you are—whether you're a newbie or seasoned athlete—and progress with confidence.

We break down practical, tried-and-true methods for integrating endurance into your routine without sacrificing strength—like how to pace yourself, avoid burnout, and build a resilient, efficient engine.

Plus, they share details about our upcoming 10K training cycle, designed to help you hit your running goals while staying healthy and strong.

Perfect for anyone feeling stuck in their running or looking to add endurance without losing their edge, this episode champions patience, mindset shifts, and smart planning. Whether you want to run your first 5K, complete a 10-miler, or simply boost your stamina, these tips can help have endurance training meet you where you are.
