Summary

(Here are six 30-minute swimming workouts.) Finally, debate along with the hosts as they mull over races for Nicole, who wants to run a marathon to mark her 40th birthday. Before the hosts start serving up answers, Dimity shares some (painful!) details about recently spending seven hours on a bike saddle. Here’s the nutrition program Dimity talks up.
