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

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.

And now I'm here to answer all your running questions about anything that you might want to know.

If you're a new runner, or you've been doing this for a long time,

there's always something more to learn about running. So let's get started. Hey everyone, welcome to

the Running Explained podcast. I am Elizabeth. Super excited to have you here today. This week, we are doing

a runner Q&A. Since I've had some questions that, I mean, I get, my whole thing is answering questions,

right? And I like to kind of earmark, flag some questions that I get and think, oh, this might

be good for the podcast. And so I've collected a few questions that I think would be good for the

podcast. And we're going to answer them today. Before we get

started, I cannot believe that fall is basically here. Fall races are right around the corner.

And if you need help setting up your race day plan, I now offer 45 minute race prep coaching

consult calls. Say that eight times fast. If you are looking to

have a coach me, review your race day plan, help you set up your pacing strategy, figure out if

your goals are accurate, what you can, should, might need to be doing differently for race day.

You can book those calls now, specifically for race prep.

So there are a subset of a coaching consult call where, yes, you can turn any coaching consult

call into a race prep call.

But this 45 minute race prep coaching call is specifically for helping you set up your race day

plan for success.

So this is ideal for runners who are self-coached, who are not working with a coach one-on-one. Like if you're already working with a coach, they should be helping you set up your race day strategy. But if you're like, hey, I've spent three, four, five months training for my race. I'm feeling really confident. But, you know, I really love somebody to take a look at what I'm trying to accomplish on race day, especially if you are running one of the big races that requires a lot of logistics in the morning. You're getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning to take a ferry to Staten Island. You're getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning to take a bus in a downtown Chicago. One of those races, you can book those calls with me, Coach Elizabeth, on my website,

ranaxplain.co slash coaching consult or via the Instagram link in my bio.
