Welcome back to another episode of That Tra Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

0:26.7

I'm our host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Associate Professor Max Puckett of the University of Memphis.

0:32.5

We start by discussing running training load and going beyond just mileage as a measure of load.

0:39.6

And that's something that Max and co-offers have written an article about that'll link to

0:43.4

the show notes as well. But we also discuss other topics related to, for example, running

0:47.5

biomechanics and injury risk, ground surfaces and so on. So there's plenty of interesting

0:52.5

topics that we go into. But before that,

0:55.2

big thanks to our sponsors. First, we are precision fuel and hydration that have a range of
