My guest today is someone that I’ve gotten to know a little bit via social media over the past few years and I’m excited to dig a little bit deeper into her story.
She’s a runner, a therapist, a dog mom, and the resident expert on all things San Fransisco running.
I am looking forward to going a few easy miles today with Ava Martinez.

Registered Dietician and runner Lisa Braden will be joining me on the show today.

In most running circles a large number of questions are centered around diet.
We will attempt to answer questions regarding race day nutrition and many more as I go a few easy miles with Lisa.
Andrea Golden is another “victim” of runner peer pressure, signing up for her first 5k at the urging of a friend.
Now, like many of us, she’s completely hooked!
Last fall Andrea ran the New York City marathon as her first, and to date only, marathon.

When she answered our opening question with the marathon, I had to ask if she thinks she would have enjoyed her first marathon experience as much if she was running a 500 person race instead of a multi-thousand person race through the streets of New York. Read more
Today on the show, I’m joining Erica Agran for a few easy miles.
Erica Agran
Erica has been running for quite a while, and has finished hundreds of races across a variety of distances. She’s finished over 40 marathons and 130 half marathons, so clearly she enjoys running and racing!

We shared some laughs about how much cotton she wore for her first marathon, her love of the NYC marathon (and she definitely encouraged me to run it at least once!), how different her blog is from the blogs of most runners, saving money shopping online, and a whole lot more! Read more
