This week's episode tackles a variety of questions about the training process, including off-season planning, the concept of sandwiching, addressing cramps and side stitches, and more!
Drawing from Instagram and Twitter, Jason is directly answering your specific questions. We're going to discuss the "sandwiching" concept, side stitches, optimal cadence, off-season training, muscle cramps, and more. Thank you to the athletes who submitted their questions. If you want to contribute in the future, make sure you connect with Jason on Instagram and Twitter.
Here's where you can find some of the questions I tackle on this episode:
- 3:03 - How should training plans vary for a road vs. a trail event?
- 6:25 - How often should you "sandwich" your runs with strength training? (hint: every run!)
- 13:48 - What you should do if the weather impacts your long run?
- 19:36 - How do volume and intensity fit into your running workload?
- 26:30 - What inexpensive options are effective if you're trying to do more strength training?
- 35:54 - What should an off-season look like to avoid losing too much fitness?
