Listener Q&A: January 2016

It’s that time again…

Listener Q&A January 2016

That’s right. It’s the end of another month, and that means that it’s time for me to take your questions and provide you with some answers.

And with a little luck, the answers might actually be helpful!

This month we have  a lot of really good questions, as per usual, so let’s dive in!

Thanks to Jabra for Sponsoring This Episode

Your Questions

• What would you do instead of running if you lost a body part, i.e. a foot?
• What are your favorite headphones? (Funny that this question was asked BEFORE I partnered with Jabra!)
• Any tips for running etiquette, especially for new runners? (Here is a previous quick tip episode I did on this exact subject.)
• Weight loss: how much is too much in a short period of time?
• What is the accuracy of online race pace calculators?
• How do you find the “right” races for you?
• Should I worry about a high heart rate while doing speed work?
• How do we train our bodies to switch run modes, specifically time of day?
• Design your perfect running shoe.
• Can too much stationary biking as a cross training method lead to overuse injuries?
• Who is your dream guest for the podcast?
• If I do 2 marathons approximately 8 weeks apart, what does my training look like between races?
• Which is better: training for a set duration or a set number of miles?

Great questions this month, and somehow I managed to avoid too much rambling in my attempt to keep this episode under an hour!

Thanks for the questions everyone!
