Lauren Beihoffer, aka Lauren Runs Wild, is a biochemist turned running coach who is now specializing in helping women over 40 run their best. She's a certified nutritionist, metabolic specialist, certified coach, and a badass runner and mom herself. We dip into all her knowledge with some great tips for athletes of all ages.
We are back with Cory Jennermann, co-founder of RunGuides.com, and super skilled runner and pacer. Run Guides is the go-to website for finding the perfect race for you. We chat about his top tips for getting faster in the trails, how to easily cut off time in your next race, and how to pace like a pro. We get into all things pacing from dialing in road splits, to pacing friends in super long trail events, and when to throw oranges at them.
I first interviewed Lizzie in 2020 when we was diagnosed with rare heart condition called AVRC. It's genetic condition that effects the muscle in your heart and makes it turn into scar tissue the harder you work the muscle. In short, it means running can kill you. We chat again about how she's learned to live with it and how far she can push.
Reid Taylor is a Delta Firefighter who has now run 2 marathons wearing 45-pounds of his turnout gear. Reid has always been an athlete but endurance running was something entirley new to him. After his first marathon he began to get chest pains and training stopped abruptly. We chat about how he overcame a 90% blockage in his artery and eventually geared up to run the marathon a second time in March 2024.
In this episode of trail tips Tory gets honest about taking a break from structured training guilt free. Guess what? Running is supposed to be fun and rest is okay! We answer listener questions about nausea during races, breaking up long runs, back to back long runs, and our feelings around Strava. Have questions for us or interested in working together?
