Introduction

Alex Hutchinson holds a PhD in Physics from Cambridge, a Master’s in Journalism from Columbia, and is a former national-class runner in Canada. He has written for Runner’s World, Outside Online, The Globe and Mail, Popular Mechanics, and many other major media.

I am a big fan of his fitness books as well. He wrote:

• Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance 
• Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights? 

Alex and I have partnered together before to bring you expert advise. We also recorded a podcast episode on the limits of human endurance.

On today's episode, I wanted to have an in-depth conversation about all things related to tapering.

I asked you, our Strength Running community on Instagram and Twitter, for questions that you may have. You guys rock, as always! Thanks for your thoughtful questions and helping to guide the conversation.
