Today we’re back with more listener questions, but this time we’re switching up the format and introducing one of the newest members of our team, Cory Nagler.
Cory is coming on board as our podcast showrunner and today he and coach Jeff are going to answer the questions you’ve submitted to us over voicemail and through our social media channels.
Along the way, Coach Jeff is going to introduce you into who Cory is and what exactly his role at RunnersConnect will be.
They’re also going to cover topics such as…
- Whether you still get the benefits from a long run or workout if you have to split it up
- How to adapt heart rate zones for the heat
- If strength training is as beneficial for marathon performance as it is shorter events like the 5k
- And a few more.
If you have questions you’d like our coaches to answer on the podcast, you can head to runnersconnect.net/daily and submit them to us or send them to us on any of our social channels.
