Episode description

In the midst of a running boom, there is more information than ever being shared on social media. However, some of that information is misguided or presented without nuance - if not just straight up inaccurate. Our “hot takes” episodes guide you through some of these topics, drawing from our years of experience in coaching and from an evidence-based approach to coaching and training theory.


Discussion points:

  • Should you take electrolytes daily during the summer?
  • Should your easy pace always be improving?
  • Is red light therapy beneficial for recovery?
  • Should you take ice baths?
  • Do run less, run faster marathon plans work?
