In the midst of a running boom, there is more information than ever being shared on social media. However, some of that information is misguided or presented without nuance - if not just straight up inaccurate. Our “hot takes” episodes guide you through some of these topics, drawing from our years of experience in coaching and from an evidence-based approach to coaching and training theory.

Discussion points:

Should you take electrolytes daily during the summer?
Should your easy pace always be improving?
Is red light therapy beneficial for recovery?
Should you take ice baths?
Do run less, run faster marathon plans work?
