Combining coaching with community can make a massive difference in training happily and healthily.
Enter: the Team Strength Running coaching program.
This podcast episode is a recording of a 2024 Team Strength Running Coach's Chat where I dig into these questions:
- What can I do over the course of a year before my fall goal marathon?
- How can I gradually increase mileage after recovering from sciatica and a meniscus tear?
- Should I strength train 2 or 3 times a week?
- What should I be doing now to start marathon training in a few weeks?
- If I'm super busy, should I focus on shorter races instead of marathons?
- Will running in Zone 2 all the time make me faster or not? Is max heart rate to measure zones accurate?
- How can I adjust my training plan based on my work schedule? Should I take off days or switch them around?
- If I'm injured, is it bad to cross-train in higher zones?
- How do I track heart rate while pool running?
- Is treadmill incline running a good substitute for hill training in a flat area?

Thank you Previnex!
After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I'm cautiously changing my tune. I'm now a Masters runner and in my personal life, I'm optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen.
Previnex uses the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, testing of raw ingredients and finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need.
Their new Muscle Health Plus is something I'm now taking. Turning 40 - and having a thin frame - has made me realize that I need to prioritize lean muscle mass to stay healthy and age well. Muscle Health Plus has creatine, essential and branched chain amino acids, and it's designed in a way to maximize protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids.
Muscle Health Plus will help you prevent muscle damage, which is particularly important for aging runners who want to protect themselves from muscle loss and recover faster after hard workouts. As is true for all of their products, Previnex adheres to the highest of standards: their ingredients are clinically proven to do what they say they're going to do.
