70: How to Fit Running and Training into Your Life

samedi 15 juin 2024 • Durée 30:38

Easy runs, interval workouts, strength training, prehab work, warm-ups, cross-training, and recovery - it’s a lot for anyone, much less if you are balancing a job and family! Additionally, you may have received messaging before that you NEED to do more to improve - but maybe that doesn’t mesh with your real life.

There is a big gap between training theory and the actual applied practice of training. So how do you fit in running, strength, and supplemental training into your life? We are bringing you tips for time-limited athletes, based on our years of experience and understanding of training theory/exercise science application and adaptation.

How to use your warm-up to sneak in plyometrics and mobility work
Do you need high-volume running to improve?
How to fit in strength training if you are time-limited
How do you fit in different running workouts into your training?
How to use untraditional training cycles (10-day cycle, etc)
How to train around long workday shifts
How to train if you work a sedentary desk job
Speed workouts for time-limited athletes

69: How to Adjust Your Race for Injury, Illness, Weather, and More

samedi 8 juin 2024 • Durée 36:52

This experience happens to virtually every runner. No matter how well your training cycle went, race day doesn’t go as planned. You get sick on race week, the weather forecast looks sub-optimal, you have a lot of work stress, or you just don’t feel great on race day. We draw on our coaching experiences as well as a basic understanding of race day physiology for this episode.

Before all that, we answer a listener’s question about what to do in the couple of months before starting a marathon training plan.

Discussion points include:

How to adjust for illness on race day
What do you do if you get injured before race day
Race day adjustments for weather
What to do if goal pace feels too hard on race day
How do you deal with GI upset during a race
How to adjust if you get your period on race day

Understanding pronation and supination in the running stride

Is overpronation bad?

What are stability shoes and how do you if know you need them?

Will stability shoes prevent injury?

67: Is The Boston Marathon Overhyped?

samedi 25 mai 2024 • Durée 27:35

The big marathons including Boston and New York are ubiquitous on social media - but do they live up to the hype? We take a different format in our episode today and provide you with a nuanced hot take (as paradoxical as that sounds) on the most popular marathons.

First, we answer a listener’s question about taking Tylenol or Advil before a race. Then, we dive into a hot take: are the World Marathon Majors, including the Boston Marathon, overhyped on social media?

Discussion points include:

How Boston may have oversaturated running news over the past year
Why Boston should keep spots for charity runners
Should Boston change their entry process/qualifying standards?
Is it too easy for women to qualify for Boston?
Why are the World Marathon Majors (New York, Chicago, etc) so special?
Why you should embrace your own running journey no matter which races you run

64: Does Body Size Impact Your Training? Tips for Runners in Taller and Larger Bodies

samedi 4 mai 2024 • Durée 29:47

Both Laura and Amanda are taller than the average female runner and have worked with runners of a wide range of body sizes. However, we’ve noticed that a lot of the online advice that focuses mostly on how to start running if you have a larger body - but what about if you are a seasoned runner who is taller, more muscular, or heavier?

Discussion points include:

What are the Athena and Clydesdale categories?
Do you need to lose weight to start running?
Understanding “metabolically healthy”
How does running in a larger body increase your injury risk?
Do larger runners need more fuel during long runs/races?

Running gait variations for taller runners
Inclusive sizing gear/clothing brands
Tips for new runners
