What to eat before every type of run!

October 12, 2022 12:54 - 20 minutes - 21 MB

What should I eat before I run? It’s an age-old question faced by many runners both new to the sport and those who have been training seriously and are looking to fine tune their training diet. Unfortunately, this isn’t a question with a simple answer. First, almost every runner will differ in terms of what works well for their stomach and the types of foods they prefer, both in terms of taste and any specific food sensitivities.  Second, the amount of time you have before you run wi...

September 14, 2022 04:01 - 45 minutes - 42.4 MB

If you’ve been a runner long enough, some well meaning person will eventually ask you about your knees.

Physiotherapist and founder of the Run Smarter Series and Run SmarterPodcast Brodie...

How a Sprinkle of Sprinting Can Massively Improve Your Distance Running: Kieran Gillespie

August 24, 2022 04:01 - 48 minutes - 46.1 MB

All runners are not the same. Distance runners and sprinters really seem to be engaging in an entirely different sport. Tiny and lean elite marathoners are a stark contrast to muscular, powerful sprinters. Training for these events is vastly different and what it takes to be successful for a 100m sprinter is quite different than that for a marathoner. Or is it? Certainly it’s easy to find the differences, but I would argue that there’s a significant overlap both in the physical training ...

Running is a massive participation sport.

July 06, 2022 04:01 - 28 minutes - 28.6 MB

To be a serious athlete, it’s pretty much a given that you need to be, well, serious. Serious about your training, what you eat, how you recover. You need to choose your races wisely.

Why You Are Not Losing Fat from Running: Angelo Poli Unlocks the Mystery of Metabolic Fitness

April 20, 2022 04:01 - 1 hour - 60.2 MB

Are you stuck in a metabolic plateau? We run, eat less, maybe lose some weight, plateau, run more, eat less.
