| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Debbie Boyle's coach at Mojo for Running with the Mojo for Running podcast, a podcast that's |
| 0:06.5 | packed with useful information for runners of all levels with any goals. No chit-chat here. I value |

| 0:18.4 | last night. Today's podcast is titled Rope Running. |
| 0:22.5 | Specifically, I want to talk about how to improve your running by using a jump rope. |
| 0:27.5 | Note, I didn't say improve your running by jumping rope. |

| 1:20.6 | Most of these articles do not include this caution that you're about to hear, but in my |
| 1:25.7 | coaching experience, I have seen again and again |
| 1:29.2 | many people experience an injury because of doing something that's only slightly different from |
