Savannah writes about the endurance side of hybrid training: metabolic conditioning, pacing, and building a cardiovascular engine that can keep up with your strength work. She’s spent years chasing her own thresholds across multiple disciplines, testing what actually holds up when the pace gets hard before writing about it.

On Runnit, Savannah covers high-threshold conditioning, how to build metabolic capacity, pace training intelligently, and manage recovery so a heavy lifting block and a hard conditioning block don’t undo each other.

  • Aerobic base work: Zone 2 running mechanics and pacing strategies to expand cardiovascular capacity.
  • Balancing strength and endurance: managing energy and recovery across heavy lifting and high-end conditioning in the same week.
