329: Bad Running Advice Part 1

Let's face it, running more doesn't always translate into running better. That's one of the big myths we're busting today as we expose the truth about effective training strategies for runners. From strength training to setting realistic goals, we're unpacking some bad running advice out there and understand what to do instead. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to optimize your running performance.We're talking goal-setting,  stretching, and the secret sauce to avoiding injury. Plus, we're diving into the world of 'food doping' and why fueling your body even on rest days is crucial for your running game.Finally, we're taking a hard look at HIIT versus strength training, particularly for runners. While HIIT is often marketed as a fast track to fitness, we're challenging that notion. We're all about functional strength training, focusing on the quality of movement and building muscle power. So whether you're a seasoned marathon runner or you're lacing up your shoes for the first time, today's episode is a must-listen. As always, we want to hear from you, so don't hesitate to share your experiences, your triumphs, and even your fumbles. After all, we're all in this race together!
