Training Tuesday: Why Every Runner Should Watch Pro Running

Former NCAA D1 swimmer, current NYU med student, and recent Olympic Trials Marathon Qualifier off less than 50 miles per week!

The training, the current Pro scene, the race itself, and what Mile fitness allows you to do makes the Mile the best race distance!

Today’s topics: HRV, Strength Training, Extra Sleep vs Extra Training, 100M readiness, Strava Overtraining, and Backwards Walking. 

Kirk is back in the studio and we’re answering your most pressing running questions!

A nutrition coach and sports dietitian in addition to being a runner herself, Kylee specializes in endurance athletes struggling with complex GI issues, race fueling complexities, disordered  eating, eating disorders, low energy availability, and REDS. 

Sound familiar? The RMR podcast did this exact topic this week. Rich didn’t listen to this, we didn’t listen to his, and we did not discuss our talking points with each other prior to recording! Mostly because Rich didn’t know we were doing this. Check his out if you haven’t already and see where we are in alignment and where we disagree!

Anytime, anywhere! These workouts are simply great for building overall fitness. 

Kirk loves float style intervals. Brakken loves to hate them. What exactly makes these workouts worth doing?
