You may know I have strong feelings about using heart rate to steer training for running BUT I know lots of people love it, so let's talk about it.

I cover: why I don't love using heart rate by itself, the typical zones, how I recommend calibrating your zones, and how I like to integrate heart rate into training.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the first episode of Lifting, Running & Living with Kelly and JK!

We're so excited to announce that after many collaboration episodes on our individual podcasts, we've committed to starting this third one together. Kelly is a running coach and host of the Multifaceted Athlete with Coaching Klutz podcast. JK is a strength coach and host of the Help Me Understand podcast. Join us every other Friday and be a fly on the wall of our conversations!

This week we chat about training & life updates, books we're reading, unfollowing and muting people on social media, adjusting training when you're "short on time", and trash TV we're loving right now.

Enjoy!

JK is BACK for another crossover episode! In true JK and Kelly fashion, we had a loose plan of what we wanted to talk about that was taken off the rails by many tangents and stories.

Here's what we covered:

- what is an influencer?

- are we influencers?

- dealing with gymtimidation 

- gym layouts

- intimidation around running groups

- how to find running groups

- that one time JK ran a half marathon

- considerations for training while traveling

- vacation travel vs work travel vs visiting family

- running in an unfamiliar area 

- 75 hard

and so much more.

Enjoy!

Long time no talk! It's been over 2 months since our last What's What with Klutz episode, so it was time for a catch up episode.

This episode is all about how it's been coaching full time, my COVID experience, my race schedule, and my current obsession with track races. (watch Katelyn Tuohy dominate at the NCAA XC championships last fall: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK_Gp7CcNYQ⁠ )
