Call this the “put your worries in another bucket” episode, as Coach Dimity assuages concerns for several runners, including Robin, who is worried about running a 5K the day before a half-marathon. (“Think of it as a shake-out run,” she suggest.) Then there’s Emily, who doesn’t need to fret about the timing of her breakfast before a long run or race. Finally, Dimity assures injured-Julie she should be able to make it to the starting line of her October marathon if she continues riding her ElliptiGO bike and easing back into running. 

Before the Q+As, Sarah shares her upcoming running-while-traveling plans. Please call 470-BADASS1 (470-223-2771) to record your question. And here’s the Mud Cake recipe.
