Ep 29. Lucy Hurn, expert run coach and personal trainer The Women's Running Podcast

- Running
In this episode we speak to Lucy Hurn. Lucy is a personal trainer, a running coach and a triathlete, and she works with the fitness and wellness app Auro. I wanted to speak to her because she basically knows everything about running – she’s an absolute goldmine of running information. Now that Holly and I are coming to the end of our training for our virtual half marathon, I wanted to speak to a trusted running coach to ask her all our questions, and so that you could ask her your questions too. We put a shout out on social media to find out what you wanted to know from our expert, and I ask the ones you sent in during the podcast. So this is a lovely practical session, covering tapering, nutrition and training. She offers us all sage advice for people aiming to run a virtual race in the next few months, no matter what the distance, and we talk about the walk/run method, and she explains how to use our rest days more smartly. We talk about the best distance for your last long run before a race, and the best strategies for marathon training when you start upping your mileage. She also talks about the importance of a healthy menstrual cycle, and she explains what the heck glycogen is, which is news to me.
