| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Running Explain podcast. I'm your host, Elizabeth. I'm a marathoner, coach, and answer seeker. |
| 0:07.3 | When I first started running at the age of 29, I had so many questions and what felt like nowhere to turn to for answers. |
| 0:14.1 | And now I'm here to answer all your running questions about anything that you might want to know. |
| 0:18.6 | If you're a new runner or you've been doing this for a long time, |
| 0:21.1 | there's always something more to learn about running. So let's get started. Hey everyone, welcome to |
| 0:27.1 | season three of the Running Explain podcast. I am very excited to be here and I'm very excited to |
| 0:33.1 | see you or have you see me. That is right this year going forward. All new episodes will be |
| 0:39.3 | available full length on YouTube for video and audio. Why? Well, other people seem to be doing it. |

| 1:17.8 | face in real time to my guests. |
| 1:20.6 | So I'm very excited about that. |
| 1:22.0 | A couple other kind of procedural fun facts. |
| 1:25.9 | So don't forget, I am not just a podcaster. I am a running coach, |
| 1:29.8 | and I have a team of coaches who also work with the running explained athlete family. So if you're |
| 1:34.7 | looking for a one-on-one coach, we are taking new run coaching clients. I did get somebody who |
| 1:39.7 | asked about triathlon. We're not coaching anything other than running at this time, although who |
