0:00.0	Welcome to the Running Explained 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.
0:14.2	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,
0:26.6	welcome to episode eight of season three, the Running Explained podcast. I am Elizabeth. This week,

1:43.6	during my run? This is a great question because I think it's a
