About this episode
If you're interested in discourses on how lactate threshold training is related to your marathon pace, or how to get REALLY race-specific for the race you're training for (including the elevation profile of the course) this episode is for you!
This week's questions are...
Picking the best recovery bath: ice baths or Epsom salt baths?
Which is better for marathon training: tempo runs or long intervals?
Figuring out pacing when running hills
Starting easy runs too fast & dying at the end - help!
Why do I scrape the inside of my calf with my opposite foot as I run?
