169: Busting 10 Running Myths (BQ's, Weight Loss, Stretching, and More!)

169: Busting 10 Running Myths (BQ's, Weight Loss, Stretching, and More!)

Have you wondered if a BQ time is out of reach for you? Or if you're "good enough" to hire a coach? Or maybe you're still sorting out where running fits in with muscle building versus weight loss?

We have you covered. On today's episode, Anya and Jason discuss the common misconceptions, set the record straight, and offer our own experience while debunking the myths. Anya has joined Jason on previous episodes and if you'd like to hear more, listen to a Q&A for new runners and a discussion about recreational runners.

Anya has over a decade of running experience as a triathlete, marathoner, and ultra runner. She brings an interesting perspective as a mom and working professional (outside the running industry) that I think will appeal to many of our listeners.

And a big thanks to our sponsor, Inside Tracker, a company that helps endurance athletes optimize their training after taking a simple blood test. I'm a customer, I love their science-based approach, and I think this is one of those investments that actually make you into a better runner. Figure out if you're over- or under-training so you can train more effectively. Use code strengthrunning (no space) to save 10% on any of their blood testing kits at insidetracker.com.
