Hey everyone welcome back to another episode of Up Tempo Talks. I'm Coach

Rory Winingham and I'm coach

Don Bellis. We have kind of an interesting thing for you.

We're always trying to mix up our topics. I don't know, we're going to

unofficially call this. why do runners do that?

So essentially we're going to answer three questions relating to things that you've seen

other runners do, maybe it's like a friend friend it could be you've heard that

professional runners do this but we'll just discuss the merits of that action that

they're taking and just explore if it's worth trying and what the idea or science behind it may be.

Absolutely.

Yeah, whenever something so polarizing comes out in training or they see professional athlete do it or you know somebody's had

success with one thing it gets totally blown out of proportion and everybody wants to do that new

thing right yeah right so we're kind of here to bring it to scale

a little bit more because I can we get people all the time who will be like hey

they did this workout I want to do this workout because this is the one that's going to make me the

fastest. That's one, that's the one. You know, you kind of have to bring things back to, you know, back in line a little bit like, hey, that's

a good workout, but you know, that's not something that we would do at the moment and so

runners have a ton of these things right so we see runners do all sorts of crazy things

whether it's your diet whether it's training string training you know even going into the supplement world or just

really anything that's going to provide a response.

So we are always looking for that next best thing,

the next thing to push us over the edge.
