Time for a little break from these episodes, I explain why in this episode, and tell you how training is going this week.

Great AMA from Mary Beth about the differing paces of easy vs hard runs. Is it okay to just be 2 minutes per mile different if you are running as a "back of the packer". I try to answer this, a tricky one!

Fun AMA today from Tawni. After years in the US, how do I use measurements? It depends, and maybe not the answer you expect!

What if you have to stop early in a race and want to use your fitness in another race 4-6 weeks later. How do you know when you will be ready to do it? I discuss when I think this is a bad idea and what you need to keep in mind if you try it.

I share my experience of the Iron Horse Half Marathon I did this weekend, running a faster than expected 1:22. Also give a summary of the weeks training.

Great AMA from Michael about what the process is for elite runners when it comes to entering races, what you get during and after, pacing and more!

Coming back to running after an injury can be more of a mental strain than a physical one with the paranoia we experience. How can you deal with it, especially if you know you are doing everything you can to stay healthy in future.? I explain here.

Great AMA from Sherry about why it is important to only do one workout and one long run in most weeks of a marathon buildup? I also explain why it is often not our speed holding us back...even when we think it might be.

I have officially entered my first race postpartum, and I am sharing all about why I chose this one, and why I decided to take a down week last week to keep my body in a good place. if you are feeling a bit sluggish lately, this might be a good reminder for you too.

AMA from Christine about having running goals when you have been diagnosed with low bone density and are struggling with amenorrhea. Can you ever truly get back to high quality running again? Here are my thoughts.
