When You Can Run Through an Injury, Is Running Bad for Your Knees and More Listener Questions

In today's episode, Coach Jeff Gaudette is going to be answering listener questions we've received over the last few weeks from our fans just like you.

We've got some great questions, covering everything from how to determine if you can run through an injury or not, how to approach marathon long runs and post run nutrition.

Plus, if you stick around until the end, Coach Jeff delivers some interesting training insights from two elite female runners he coaches who despite running similar times, approach training drastically differently and what you can learn from this.

Topics we cover:

• How to know if you can run through an injury or not
• Why you should train to burn fat as a fuel source
• How to accomplish this in training and when
• Post run recovery
• Getting sick after hard workouts
• The importance of long-term thinking in your training
• Runners with the same PRs but with drastically different training approaches (and how this applies to your training)
• Is running bad for your knees

Don't forget, if you have questions you'd like our coaches to answer on the podcast, you can head to https://runnersconnect.net/daily and submit them to us.

Oladance

If you're looking for better and safer headphones while you run, then you need to check out oladance.

The unique design of their headphones allows you to listen to your favorite music and podcast while running, yet still hear everything going on around you so you can stay safe.

But my favorite part is that their open-ear-design means your ears will never get tired or fatigued, even after 2 hours or more of listening. That makes them perfect for those super long runs.

Plus, their dynamic driver is 3 x bigger than most headphones, which allows them to deliver superior sound, while still being comfortable.
