Some Work, All Play

141. Why Athletes Are Running So Fast, Eating Before Running, and 10 Questions on Relationships and Love!


Listen Later

This week's VERY SPECIAL episode was a pure celebration! We didn't want to stop recording, so there are a few more minutes of fun. The main training topic was an exploration of why athletes are getting faster at every distance. Our theories involve converging training approaches, feedback processes from shoe technology, and an emphasis on adequate fueling. What does the future hold? It's incredibly exciting! We also talked about practical recommendations for eating before running, starting in the science and extending to what athletes actually do in practice. Get your oatmeal packets ready. Plus we review a new study on running economy and performance, along with the training implications!

But what makes this episode so special is the final 35 minutes, where we answer questions on relationships and love from podcast listeners! The questions touch on everything from intimacy to break-ups. We are not experts, but we think it'll be so much fun. Prepare yourselves for some sound effects too!
