| 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 or even 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 | episode four of season three of The Running Explained podcast. I am super excited to have you here. |
| 0:32.2 | Shockingly, it is already February. This year is just absolutely starting to fly by probably a little faster than some |
| 0:39.3 | of us would like. But before I introduced my guest for this week, I just wanted to give you an update |
| 0:43.4 | about all of the awesome ongoing offerings that we have at running explained. Since we're deep into |
| 0:50.1 | the new year already, let's not even call it a new year thing. Let's just call it like, hey, you're training for something and you want some support. So as a reminder, |
| 0:57.8 | training plans are always available. And I am currently working on putting out some new plans, |
| 1:02.5 | including speed base at a variety of levels, along with some challenge weekend offerings. |
| 1:08.7 | If you're running, I don't know, a 10K and a half marathon in two |
| 1:12.2 | consecutive days in one of the happiest places on earth. Those types of plans might be |
| 1:16.4 | appropriate for you. Group training is also open and please note that the price for group |
| 1:23.1 | training is rising this month. So please lock in the current pricing for group training |
| 1:29.7 | if you're interested in joining us for half or full marathon group training. And then of course, |
| 1:34.5 | we do have one-on-one coaching available. I would say four of my six coaches who are all awesome |
| 1:41.2 | are currently accepting new clients. So if you were looking for truly individualized |
| 1:45.2 | support, feedback, personalized training, a coach in your corner for your training, one-on-one |
| 1:51.6 | coaching is the offer for you. All right. Let's get to it. My guest this week is sports |
