Stress Management Audit

This week, Ian Butler-Hall travels back in time to chat with James, Allison, and Chris. Chris quickly uncovers that Ian’s reason to start running has nothing to do with why he runs now. Ian shares about his goal to run Boston with his brother and what he wants out of running in 2021. Chris shares a little more strategy on how to build out your weekly schedule and Allison serves up another big week of running plus the science behind LT pace work. Ian then presents some great questions to the coaches that include: What can I do to prevent fading late in a marathon? How do I know when it’s time to replace my shoes? And a bold one some of you will like - What’s Chris got against Orange Theory? Finally, Ian closes with a bit of love for his teammates.

In this week's episode, we cover strength and run training with a brief review of how to interpret your mileage build schedule. For our main topic, we cover the concept of total stress load kick of a multi-week conversation on stress with a tool we call the stress inventory. Have a listen to learn more!
