There happens to be a big ol' snow storm going on outside as I type this description, so Mike and I thought we'd talk a little bit about running in the snow. We know that injuries can pop up when us runners get a little out of hand and start hitting the road in unsafe conditions. So we chat about some ways to make your run in the snow a little safer and hopefully less likely to injure you! 

We also dive into how to shovel properly, and some common injuries that pop up when you're shoveling snow! 

There is also a visit from my kiddo Myles so our apologies for any crying, laughing or babbling in the background!

This week we've got a very special guest on Our Run Club, the one and only Christine Lonergan. A husband and wife interview this week where we learn all about Christine's running career and get some advice on how to approach training, racing and running postpartum. 

Christine is a super talented runner, artist and the best wife and mom on the planet, but I'm a little biased ;)
