Runners can get pretty competitive when it comes to race day, so it's no surprise that many runners also tend to have strong opinions about what helps to race faster. Today's show is bringing back a familiar format with another edition of underrated or overrated; this time focusing on racing topics.

If you're new to this format, our panel will be given a series of popular topics and tell you why they think each one is either overhyped or why you should be focusing on it if your goal is to progress as a runner.

Today's Underrated or Overrated episode continues with the September focus on racing, covering why many popular racing topics are either underrated or overrated.

We'll be going over popular racing-themed running topics ranging from gear to beer, so keep listening to learn more.

Just to give you a taste of what's to come, a few topics we'll cover include:

• Do you need a high-tech GPS watch to race well?
• Is a negative split the best racing strategy?
• Is there any better way to celebrate finishing a race than with the post-race beer
• And tons more fun and informative topics!
