Mailbag Episodes and Cautionary Notes
Mailbag episodes are a central feature of the discussion, allowing hosts to address listener questions about running and footwear. However, the hosts emphasize that they cannot provide medical advice and must handle queries carefully, especially those involving individual medical situations. They highlight the responses as conversation starters rather than definitive medical solutions, encouraging listeners to consult healthcare professionals for specific conditions. This format fosters community engagement while maintaining the necessary boundaries around medical recommendations.
