Summary

We answer your questions about balancing weightlifting with running, getting enough protein as a vegetarian, and figuring out if over-training is affecting your sleep. We also tackle a big, open-ended question: How do you know when you've "made it" in your career? Finally, we give you permission to do something you should be doing but aren't yet.
