Summary

If your running shoes are leaving you feel flat, like Elizabeth, you’ll appreciate the footwear-savvy advice in this episode. Or maybe you’re like Amy, who wants to turn back time in regards to her half-marathon pace. Finally, the hosts offer advice for Kara who is curious about training for a downhill race in her hilly neighborhood. Before the hosts serve up answers around 7:06, the two talk about bike riding (or, in Sarah’s case, riding her ElliptiGO). Please call 470-BADASS1 (470-223-2771) to record your question.
