Welcome to the Running Explained podcast. I'm your host, Coach Elizabeth. When I started running at the age of 29, I had so many questions and what felt like nowhere to turn to for answers.

Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Running Explained podcast. I am Coach Elizabeth. And this week we are doing a

leftover Q&A as in the questions I didn't get a chance to answer from the Q&A this week.

And I'm going to do two things

on this episode that you may not realize are going to be slightly different. Typically, when I

record solo episodes, I do it. I want to say I do it to make myself look good, but I like to

rephrase things and take my time.

And, you know, I'll talk for a little bit and be like, I could have rephrased that and kind of delete it.

And if you saw the audio files for a lot of my solo episodes, there's like hundreds of little clips that I put them all together.

So one, I'm going to try to one shot this as much as I can test my live

podcasting skills. And two, I'm going to read every single question that I didn't get a chance to

answer. So typically when I do Q&A episodes, like I pick the interesting questions of the good

ones or ones that are, I feel like,

would be the most valuable to the wider community.

And I'm going to read every single question that I got that I didn't get a chance to

answer.
