Welcome to the Running Explain podcast. I'm Elizabeth, a marathoner, running coach, and answer seeker.

When I became a new runner at the age of 29, I had so many questions, but it felt like I was on my own to figure all of the answers.

So now I'm here to answer all your running questions to help make you a better, smarter, faster, runner. There's no question

too simple and no topic too complex. So let's get started. Hey everyone, welcome to the second

to last episode of the Running Explained podcast for 2022, aka Season 2, psyched to have you here.

This week we're doing an old-fashioned throwback to a listener Q&A.

For those of you who don't know me, my story, I actually started my podcast because what I

originally been doing was these Instagram live Q&A sessions every week, which meant I was

just sitting in front of my,

my phone for like 60 to 90 minutes answering questions that had, I'd like printed out on a

piece of paper that people submitted the week before. And then in my brain, I realized, you know what,

this format is like way better for a podcast. And so actually the first couple episodes of the podcast were the audio that I had ripped

from my Instagram live episodes, my Instagram lives, way back when, and way back when I mean

last year, obviously the production values have increased greatly since then.

But that's a little story and why I get

nostalgic about doing Q&A's because that's kind of how I started doing what I do. It's people

that ask me questions and I would give them answers and a way we would go. So you guys submitted

some really great questions. There are some things that may feel like you've heard

we talk about this before. There may be some things that actually I know that I've never really

discussed in depth before and I'll tell you why. But first before I get started, I want to let you know

kind of an update about the running explained offerings. I'm super excited for 2023. Not only do I have

six unbelievably amazing, talented running coaches
