I answer Audrey's AMA question about strength training and how we structure my training to get the most out of my running. In the past strength training has made me run PRs and kept me injury free. Here is some insight into how.

Being injured is not fun. It can make you miss running more than you ever thought possible, and leave you feeling depressed. It isn't always easy to motivate yourself to go to the gym when all you want to do is run. Take a listen for my suggestions.

AMA from Geri about knowing what your race pace should be for an upcoming race like a marathon. How can you set your pace? I have some suggestions and some warnings about what to be careful with when it comes to setting a pace for a marathon or other goal race. #nowatchme

Lots of mini questions in this AMA from Jackie about how I find, create questions for, and respond to requests to come on the podcast. I enjoyed answering this, and if you are a big Running for Real fan, you will enjoy it too.

AMA from Claire about how to handle running in pregnancy (especially late pregnancy). It can be easy to compare and to be hard on yourself, but here is my experience and what I suggest you should do as a pregnant runner.

AMA from Jeremy about what makes runners so wonderful...which is the chicken and which is the egg? I discuss this concept, and share my thoughts on why runners are the best people.

AMA from Gina today about what I do before a 4am run. If you regularly have to get up early to run, what do I suggest you should do to get the most out of your training?

Getting your nutrition right on race day can be the difference between the race of your dreams and crying on the side of the road. You can't run your best (or even close to it) without getting this right to avoid bonking in your marathon or struggling from a lack of energy. I explain what you should be doing to succeed.

How is training going this week? My mileage may have leveled off, but last week had some hard efforts that are starting to show progress and things may be starting to come together.

I share a recent mother struggle moment we have been going through adn tell you my experience of a stroller race last weekend at the DV8 8k.
