    s5/e26 (RE-RUN) How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Other Runners with Coach Nick

    We're bringing back an amazing re-run episode with Coach Nick Klastava from Season 3, and it's just as relevant and inspiring now as it was then. If you enjoy this episode, check out Nick’s other podcast, Between Two Coaches, which he co-hosts with Coach Amanda Katz (also from Running Explained). You can find it on all major streaming platforms. Comparison is the thief of joy... so why do we spend SO much time & energy comparing ourselves to others? To other runners, to other versions of ourselves. Coach Nick Klastava is here this week to help us understand WHY breaking free from the comparison trap is actually one of the best things you can do as a runner, why copying another runner's training isn't very helpful, why paces aren't the be-all-end-all, and what we can all learn from the best of the best. -- 🏃‍♀️ Running Explained is here to help you run smarter, get faster, and feel more confident in your training.From trusted education to real-world coaching support, we’ve got what you need: no fluff, no gimmicks, just evidence-based guidance that works. 🎙 Podcast & Blog: Free, accessible, no-BS running education📨 Downloadable Training Plans: Built for real life, not perfection 🏅 1:1 Coaching: Personalized guidance with expert support 🔗 Start here → ⁠⁠⁠runningexplained.com⁠⁠⁠

    Dr. Marie Witt is BACK for her fifth time on the podcast (aka the Five-Peat!), and this episode is a little more casual and a whole lot of fun. We’re talking about… well, a little bit of everything: – Gummy bear fueling and why sour candy hits different– What happens when your miles slow way down in the summer heat– Shoes, Hobbiton, Regency costumes, and other delightful detours– The “minimum effective dose” approach to strength training– And why doing less is often the smartest move a runner can make We talk about the pressure to do more, what it really means to be consistent, and how to respect your body without losing your goals. And yes, we get a little nerdy, because obviously. It’s us. If you need a reminder that running is supposed to be fun, that you don’t have to earn your worth in mileage, and that play is part of the process... this one’s for you. 💥 LAST CHANCE: ROAD TO RACE DAY KICKS OFF AUG 4!If you’re training for the Philly Half or Full and want personalized coaching, a supportive group, expert guidance, and race weekend fun—this is it!

    s5/e24 Breaking4, Boston Qualifying Changes, and the Big Business of Women’s Sports with Jonathan Levitt

    This week, I'm joined by the one and only Jon Levitt, host of For the Long Run and Long Run Labs, endurance athlete, and resident expert in both running and running-adjacent banter.What starts as a lighthearted chat about favorite running shoes (RIP Pegasus 34), run fuel (blue raspberry forever), and dream races (Tokyo, anyone?) turns into a deeply thoughtful conversation about what it means to push yourself to the edge... and what happens when you go past it.We dive into:🎯 The anatomy of a moonshot: Was the Breaking4 Project to break 4 minutes in the mile by a woman a marketing stunt or a meaningful milestone?🧠 The shared psychology of suffering: Why elite runners and mid-packers alike know what it feels like to “bleed” in the third lap💥 What makes a mile so compelling (and painful) to run and watch🥵 Downhill marathons, Boston qualifiers, and the not-so-free speed myth💬 What we talk about when we talk about toughness, exclusivity, and why not every goal should be easyPlus: a very scientific game of “Strava Caption or Shenanigans,” Taylor Swift references, and a reminder that running a hard mile might just change your life.🧭 Resources & Links:Follow Jon on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jwlevittListen to For the Long Run and Long Run Labshttps://shorturl.at/i7pRU -- -- 🏃‍♀️ Running Explained is here to help you run smarter, get faster, and feel more confident in your training.

    s5e/22 Juggling Miles, Work, and Life? Here’s the Recovery Talk You Need with Dr. Logan Sherman

    This week, I’m joined by a runner who brings a ton of insight and real-world experience to the table: Dr. Logan Sherman, sports chiropractor, marathon champion, and chairman of the BMW Dallas Marathon. We get into a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime in performance circles: SLEEP. Not just “get more of it,” but why it matters, what it actually does for your body, how to use it as a training tool (not just a recovery tool), and how your wearable data might be telling you more (or less) than you think. Logan shares his journey from being an overweight middle schooler nicknamed "Jelly Roll" to becoming a sub-elite marathoner and 2015 Dallas Marathon champion, and how his relationship with running, racing, and recovery has evolved through different seasons of life. We talk about: Why sleep is foundational for performance, recovery, and injury prevention How to adjust your training when your sleep is trash (without panicking) What HRV and breath rate can tell you about your recovery Using data without obsessing over it (yes, even when your Whoop says you're 50% recovered on race morning) The emotional side of race day, sleep anxiety, and learning to let go of perfection And why it’s okay if your fueling sometimes looks like mac & cheese off your kid’s plate If you’ve ever struggled with balancing sleep, life, and training, Logan's perspective is one you're going to appreciate!

  6. s5/e21 Training Load: Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right? with Coach Elisabeth

    s5/e21 Training Load: Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right? with Coach Elisabeth

    In this solo episode, I'm FINALLY tackling one of the most important (and least sexy) topics in training: training load. What it is? Why should you care? And how can you make sure you're living in the "juuuuuuust right" zone! Most of us are so focused on paces and mileage (or kms) targets that we miss the bigger picture: how much stress your body is actually experiencing and accumulating from your training. And if you’re stuck in a cycle of “train hard → crash → repeat,” this episode is especially for you. I break down everything from acute vs. chronic training load, to how wearable devices, like your Coros running watch, calculate your load using things like "TRIMP" and heart rate, and to how to use heart rate variability (HRV) as a recovery gauge. We’re talking spreadsheets, ratios, metrics, and yes: how your “just right” is totally different than someone else’s! What training load actually means (and what it doesn’t) How to avoid the dangers of "too much too soon" (even if your mileage says you should be OK) Why intensity (and training intensity distribution) is more important than distance alone How the acute:chronic ratio of your training load tells you when you’re on the onramp to the highway to the danger zone What the 10% “rule” misses (and why it’s not always that simple!) The difference between “I ran 10 miles!” and “I worked HARD for 10 miles!” Tools like TRIMP, TSS, and HRV: what they tell you and how I use them The deets on my own quick & dirty training load spreadsheet before I had fancy tools Why managing training load is especially important for self-coached runners!! TOP SOUNDBITES: “Your body doesn’t track distance; it tracks stress.” “That hero week you’re so proud of? It might be the reason you need a nap for the next 10 days.” “This is about learning what ‘just right’ looks like for you—because too much breaks you, and too little stalls you.” -------------------- 🌟 This episode is brought to you by my friends at Coros, who make amazing watches ⌚ that have all the tools you need (with none of the fluff) to manage your training like a pro, no matter WHAT your goals are! If you're looking to upgrade (or you’re just tired of guessing), check out the Coros Pace 3 (that's what I wear!), and don't forget to use code RUNEXP at checkout for a FREE second strap when you buy your watch! 🌟 🖱 Coros.com --------------- Join the Patreon: patreon.com/runningexplained for bonus episodes, book club, and more!

  7. s5/e20 How to Run Around The Whole World with Marie Leautey

    6月26日

    s5/e20 How to Run Around The Whole World with Marie Leautey

    What would happen if you decided to just… run around the world? No, seriously. That’s what Marie Leautey did. She’s only the second woman in history to complete a verified World Run—crossing four continents, coast to coast, on foot. She pushed a stroller (not with a baby - important note), slept in a tent, dodged kangaroos, used bear spray in Montana, and somehow didn’t get injured while running over 28,000 kilometers. In this episode, Marie and I talk about: How a random doodle at work turned into a 2.5-year global running adventure What actually counts as a “run around the world” (yes, there are rules! No, they don't make you run on water!) Staying injury-free while running 700+ marathons in a row (the “body scan” trick is genius) The joy of running without pace goal… or time goals… or really any data at all Being mistaken for a mom with a baby in a stroller (and how that probably kept her safe) Why she got fined $2,600 over a rogue scallion at the Australian border And how to tell the difference between giving up… and just hitting a (global pandemic) Pause Button Marie’s story is one of those rare ones that’s impossible to summarize and even harder to forget. It’s about running, yes, but also freedom, persistence, problem-solving, and learning how to really listen to your body (and your gut). 📖 Her book Lootie’s World Run: The Extraordinary True Story of the Fastest Woman to Have Run Around the World is wonderful; part memoir, part field guide, part “wait, she did what?!” Get your copy today!

    s5/e19 How to Think Like A Runner with Jeff Horowitz

    This week I’m joined by Jeff Horowitz—"recovering attorney" turned running coach, author of Think Like a Runner, and someone who’s run over 200 marathons (yes, really!). Jeff shares stories from his global racing adventures (including an ultramarathon in Cairo where he was chased by wild dog s), his journey back from a devastating femur fracture, and why he thinks every runner—no matter their pace—deserves to take themselves seriously. We get into: Why so many runners struggle to call themselves runners How your relationship with running evolves over time What it means to truly trust your body again after injury How to define success beyond speed or finish times Why you do deserve good gear, a coach, and the “serious runner” stuff, no matter your pace This was one of those conversations that just felt like a long exhale. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re a “real” runner, or wrestled with how to stay in love with this sport as things shift and change, this episode is for you 📘 Grab Jeff’s book Think Like a Runner! ------------------------------ 👟 The Running Explained Podcast is here to help you train smarter, run better, and understand the why behind what you’re doing. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just trying to make sense of your training plan, we’re here for the long run. 🎙️ Want more episodes, early access, and bonus content?
