| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Running Explain podcast. I'm Elizabeth, a marathoner, running coach, and answer seeker. |
| 0:08.2 | When I became a new runner at the age of 29, I had so many questions, but it felt like I was on my |
| 0:14.6 | own to figure all of the answers. So now I'm here to answer all your running questions to help make |
