Running Strong

Q&A #4: Shin Splints, Hydration Tips, Knees, Tapering, + More... - ESR 23

Listen Later

Long one this week.

In this episode I discuss:

  • Hydration tips if standard aid stations aren't an option
  • Shin splints - a fairly deep dive
  • "Core" work for runners
  • Building mental toughness
  • Sleeping better
  • How many races you should run a year
  • Best practices for tapering
  • Protecting your knees on steep downhills
  • Why salt/sodium matters, where to get it, and how to know if you have enough

    • EDIT: Initially, I misspoke and said that eating "a banana and 1/2 tsp of salt" is more or less the same as Skratch Labs' hyper-hydration product. It's actually "a banana and 1 tsp" of salt. I fixed it at the end, but know some people won't listen to the whole thing.
