Summary

We loaded up on some "awake" tea to feel extra caffeinated for this spicy episode! Listeners send in such great questions, and it was so fun to get down and dirty with some fascinating topics. It's called a "no secrets" Q+A because we often see conversations with elite athletes and coaches where it's clear that we aren't getting the full picture. Our goal is to be an open book (for better and for worse!).

As a result, this one was full of the most fun topics! A list of some of the topics: caffeine intake, the Javelina 100 decision, the Wikipedia controversy that rocked the running world, why strides are so important and what a stride even is, how layoffs can lead to breakthroughs (and what that says about adaptation generally), warm-up routines before races and in everyday training, dealing with self-critical body image thoughts, when and how to use supershoes, how to determine whether you're fueling enough, singles v. doubles (two runs in one day) in training theory, post-exercise ketone usage, the frontiers of bicarb supplementation, TUEs and drug testing, body functions during races, polarized v. pyramdial training, uphill treadmill workouts, and sex drive changes based on training status.

This one was a total blast to record! Double up those tea bags and let's gooooooooo.

We love you all! HUZZAH!

0:09.6	Tuesday. Oh my gosh. So yesterday we tried to record on Monday as we often do to get ahead of the game and you know we talked about some of my racing my decisions things like that and apparently running out of awake, which is just a normal type of black tea, was not good because I had low self-esteem. We got to 25 minutes and I was like,
0:29.0	Megan, was that too much about me? And I was like, no was actually so good which is the wild thing. I feel like sometimes
0:35.4	when our brains are in those like hyper-judgmental states it was actually awesome. What are you talking about? But I am so used to being like the
0:42.1	podcast rate limiting step that it was actually almost kind of nice I didn't want you to have to like
0:46.7	Journey into that low self-esteem state house like David's human this happens
0:50.3	Yeah, I was just laying out my whole soul to fill the empty spaces, but guess what? We've got
0:55.7	awake tea today. And it really brings me back to think a little bit about caffeine in general.
1:00.5	First, what a magical, magical substance caffeine is. It is wild how great, great, great, that

1:19.6	1500 milligrams of caffeine a little bit bit less, but it was in the,
1:23.2	it was in four digits.
1:24.1	Okay, within, within rounding error of 1,500.
1:26.9	And do you feel like now it takes like a cement mixer of caffeine
1:30.5	to activate you?
1:31.7	Did you, did you like flood your caffeine receptors? No, no, I don't think maybe for a few days.
1:36.5	But not so much. I don't know. I almost feel like I just have gaslighted my body over time to be like you know I do tea instead of
1:44.2	coffee because coffee is a little too much caffeine for me you know I have maybe
