  • Tangible advice in a brief amount of time

    I stumbled upon this podcast with her looking for information about a taper. I’ve run well over a dozen marathons, so I’m not new to the taper. However, I was looking for a refresher course. I love the information she gave on that specific topic. She was brief yet concise. She gave ideas but did not go into too much detail. I like the brevity. Short and sweet, but definitely chock full of good information. I definitely subscribe to this podcast from now on.

Q: What is your go-to fueling strategy for your own long training sessions?
On the bike, I use E-Fuel and go through a bottle every 42 minutes, and for running, I'm a gel every five miles, regardless of the distance.
52: Ask your coach series - Maintain Pace, Energy Drinks, Coaching Ingredients
Q: What is the effectiveness of taking energy drinks like '5-Hour Energy' before a race?
These drinks do not provide the necessary carbohydrates for endurance and can be detrimental if not combined with proper fueling.
52: Ask your coach series - Maintain Pace, Energy Drinks, Coaching Ingredients
Q: What is the most important aspect of marathon training to help the runner maintain pace later in the race?
Not going out too fast during the first half of the race and ensuring proper fueling and hydration.
