Don't look now, but it's about time to turn the calendar from May to June!

And that only means one thing around these parts: it's time for another round of Listener Q&A!

This month's Qs include my thoughts on adapting to a change in shoe size, early signs that you may be trending toward burnout, tips for running downhill, my triathlon future, and a whole lot more!

Check out the show notes page for all of the questions, my short answers, and a well-chosen array of memes/GIFs that add to the conversation.

There are many components to seeing improvement as a runner, but according to Mike Swinger three areas where we can see dramatic improvement involve working on our flexibility, our strength, and our form.

And spoiler alert, but if you focus on the first two of those areas, a lot of times the third almost takes care of itself.

Mike is a physical therapist that really enjoys working with runners of all ages and ability levels and I really love needing out about preventing running injuries, so you can bet we are diving deep in our chat today!

We all have to deal with stress in our daily lives on an almost daily basis.

But from time to time, the "universe" seems to align in such a way that our stress just piles up faster than we can handle it.

When that happens, and it will happen, don't let be running be something that adds to your stress.

Memes, GIFs, and other tom-foolery can be found in the blog post for today's episode over at http://DizRuns.com/574

Chuck Van Duzee has been running marathons longer than I have been alive.

Let that sink in for a minute.

After 40 years of marathon running, he's still going strong!

On this episode, we talk about how running has changed, for better and for worse, over the years. And why being willing to experiment on race day might be the best thing you can do as a runner.

Have you ever negatively impacted another runner's race, either knowingly or unknowingly?

Odds are, you have.

Most runners aren't going to purposefully sabotage your race, but a lack of awareness and perspective on race day can, and often does, show up as a lack of respect that impacts other runners on race day.

And for lack of a better word, that makes said runners douches.

Seriously y'all, don't be a douche on race day!

Rhandi Orme is one of those women that is somehow able to do all the things.

Between training for ultras and triathlons and coaching, she also manages to find time to be a wife and a mom to her four kids.

She has found a balance that works for her, and finding said balance includes willingly giving up on some things that she enjoys doing in order to focus on the activities that she loves doing.

Pretty sure there is a lesson in there somewhere...

Heat illness is nothing to be messed with.

Knowing how to treat/respond when you're dealing with issues related to the heat, either for yourself or with those that you're running with, is important.

Just as important, if not even more important, is to learn what you can do to try and prevent heat illness in the first place.

Is running a form a therapy?

For many runners, it is. And for some, it is a vital piece of the puzzle in maintaining their overall mental health.

In his new book, Running is My Therapy, author Scott Douglas not only looks at the benefits that running has on our mental health, but he also shares his struggles with depression and how running has helped him over the years.
