Summary

It's getting hot in here, so we took off most of our clothes for PODCAST TUESDAY! The main training topic was on a new review study looking at all of the research on long-term training approaches. What works? What doesn't? On a scale of 0 to infinity, how much ice cream should you be eating? We have 3 takeaways for all levels of athletes about training volume, deemphasizing VO2 max, and cross training. Ice cream is implied! We use that study as a jumping-off point to discuss how our training methodology has changed over time, focusing on how we have evolved on workout structure, speed, hill strides v. flat strides, and aerobic blocks.

And that was just an appetizer for our favorite new segment: HOT TAKES. Listeners sent in 12 of their hottest takes about running and life, which we reacted to. You'll laugh. You'll learn something. You'll be mortified at how wrong some people are (including us). Be ready for wisdom and whimsy!

Other topics: shoes we recommend, a discussion about protein intake, protein powder reviews, race photos, and body image as an athlete. This one was so much fun!

0:00.0	Woohoo! Welcome to the Summer Call Play podcast. We are so happy to be with you today.
0:04.3	Happy Tuesday! It's Tuesday!
0:05.9	And I'm over here feeling quite sore on this Tuesday. I'd actually call it like,
0:09.5	deliciously sore. Deliciously sore. Okay, so why is that? Because I saw you do a bunch of really
0:13.9	cool things yesterday. You did a really big long run. You did strength work for the first time
0:18.4	in quite a while. You did it hike with Leo. What is it that's making you quite sore?
0:22.0	Well, I've decided actually that I've been sore after almost every holiday recently.
0:25.5	Which is kind of fun. It's like this like post-holiday soreness, but we have this theory
0:28.8	that on holidays we spend as much time as possible outside. Yeah. Then I usually have this like
0:33.0	holiday doms hang over for a few days and it's great. Yeah, one good thing about doing a lot of
0:37.4	the work on the computer is that basically every moment is recovery time. Like when we were
0:42.2	traveling for canyons and then for your PhD and for the wedding and stuff, I was on my feet a lot
0:47.2	more and I'm like man standing around is way harder than sitting on the couch cushion all day long.
0:52.8	So yesterday you did a lot of really impressive things as I was saying. But what I think might be
0:56.7	making you the most sore is the hike we did with baby Leo. So we get out of the car and you
1:02.5	immediately run out. Grab the little baby hiking backpack and it's like this is mine because I
1:07.6	want the strength gains from carrying this kettlebell. We're having this endless battle in our
1:11.6	relationship over who gets to carry Leo in our hiking backpack because there are quad gains
1:16.0	associated with it and it's like I don't know we're debating and I've been kind of coming out
1:19.8	as the winner on these debates. I'm like he's mine. I birthed him. I've got to carry him now.
1:24.0	I've literally never carried him once. You're just for stalling me from getting these gains, Megan.
1:30.4	What is up with that? I feel like our marriage vows should have said that we give the gains to
