We Googled It: Coaches Answer Your Top Endurance Training Questions | Ep22

<p>It’s 11 PM. You missed a workout, your legs are sore, and you’re typing the same question into Google that thousands of other athletes typed tonight. This episode, Coach JW, Coach Alicia, and Coach Anne take those searches to the round table and answer them the way they would for their own athletes.</p><p><br></p><p>Should you run or lift first? All three coaches agree on keeping hard days hard and easy days easy. However, they each place strength work differently, and Coach Anne would rather you skip an easy run than skip your strength session. Is it okay to train sore? The coaches break down how to tell muscle soreness from injury, including one simple check: does it show up on both sides, or just one? From there it’s cross-training (why cycling helps runners more than running helps cyclists, and how aqua jogging brought one athlete back from a stress fracture stronger than before), and a unanimous answer on whether you should ever train seven days a week.</p><p><br></p><p>Along the way: Coach Anne’s unexpected surgery, Coach Alicia’s taper tantrums before a six-day stage race, a storm-cancelled 70.3, and how much each coach would pay to run a 10K.</p><p><br></p><p>Google gives you the answer. Your body gives you the feedback. Press play to hear how three coaches use both to help you fit the training into the chaos.</p>
