Our latest podcast is out, and we are answering your biggest training questions—from whether splitting your long runs actually works to building toward a Boston Qualifier, understanding your VO₂ max as you age, and what those rocker-shaped running shoes really do.
We’ve also got practical tips to get things "moving" before a run, simple hip mobility exercises, inspiring running goals for every level, and a guide to building your own marathon or half marathon training plan.
Finally, catch up on the latest running news, including Habtom Samuel’s move to the professional ranks, the Twin Cities Marathon shifting to a cooler October date, and Clare Elms’ incredible new W60 world record in the 3,000 meters.
This week, Katelyn, Michael, and Alex discuss whether splitting your runs into doubles can replace a continuous run, how to build toward a Boston Qualifier over several years without overreaching, whether masters runners should worry about declining VO₂ max, and the science behind forefoot rocker shoes.
