  • Love this pod

    I listen to this podcast every week. They cover relevant topics for runners and between Michael, Katelyn, and Alex provide a solid variety of viewpoints based on personal experience, which I really love. Episodes are informative but fun and lighthearted with some good humor involved. I also enjoy the extra pods to cover breaking news or big events.

Q: How do you manage training when your energy levels fluctuate due to the menstrual cycle?
During the follicular phase, focus on higher intensity workouts because women often feel stronger. During the luteal phase, opt for effort-based training rather than pace-focused workouts as the body may not feel as primed for high intensity.
