Do we really

need to stretch before running? Is getting in 10,000 steps a day truly a

harbinger for good health? On this episode, the hosts dive into eight

common fitness myths with Danielle Friedman,  a journalist in New York who recently wrote a great piece for the New York Times where she spoke with top experts to dissect and debunk these myths, which also include: 

  • Runners and cyclists don’t need to strength-train their lower body;
  • Running destroys your knees.;
  • Modifications are for beginners...and more.

  • It’s no myth: Our brand-new event, Go The Distance, is going to be the challenge you need this spring. Join us during the weekend of April 20-21. Get all of the details and register here.
