| 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. Hello, my friends, |
| 0:26.8 | welcome to the Running Explained podcast. I am Elizabeth. This is episode, my goodness, 17 of season three, |
| 0:33.2 | which is just my fancy way of saying of this year. This is an unplanned, previously unplanned, |

| 1:16.5 | And we talked extensively about watches. |
| 1:18.2 | But this specific question is going to be relevant. |
| 1:20.7 | It's about your watch V-O-2 Max and your fitness score, that kind of stuff. |
| 1:26.0 | But before we get started today, of course, |
| 1:29.3 | fall races are coming up faster than you would think. And if you are looking for coaching, |
| 1:33.7 | a plan, guidance, education information, just more than you've been getting running explained, |
| 1:40.3 | we have stuff for you. If you're looking for a one-on-one coaching, some of our coaches, some of my |
| 1:45.5 | coaches are still taking clients for the fall racing cycle. If you're looking for group coaching, |
| 1:51.3 | that is ongoing enrollment for half marathons and marathons. I'd love to see your pretty faces |
