#41 Feel-Good Speed: 20-Min Interval Run + Health Check Tips for Runners”


Listen Later

In this episode, you’ll be guided through a fun and energizing 20-minute interval run designed to build speed, confidence, and rhythm—perfect for runners of all levels. Whether you’re getting back into structured workouts or adding some intensity to your weekly routine, this one’s for you.

We also take a few minutes to talk about something many runners overlook: your health on the inside. I just had my annual physical, and it reminded me how important it is to check in with your doctor—especially when you’re training consistently.

As a coach and runner (not a doctor or dietitian!), here are some of the blood tests I recommend asking about at your next check-up:

* ✅ Complete Blood Count (CBC)

* ✅ Ferritin + Iron Panel

* ✅ Vitamin D

* ✅ Vitamin B12 and Folate

* ✅ Thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4)

* ✅ Electrolytes: Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium

* ✅ Hormonal markers (like cortisol or testosterone) if you're training intensely

This episode is part workout, part wellness reminder: your performance starts with your health. Let’s run smart and take care of our bodies—inside and out. 💪

🎶 Grab your headphones and let’s get into it.
