s2/e22 "Bad Running Advice" with Coach E...

Elisabeth Scott
About this episode

Not all advice, however well-intentioned, is good advice. And some advice is downright bad! Coach Elisabeth addressed some "bad running advice", from the misguided to the misunderstood & misconstrued, to the downright dangerous. 

  • How NOT to train effectively
  • When NOT to push through the pain
  • What DOESN'T determine your readiness to run a marathon
  • Why it's BAD when your body stops sweating
  • Taking hydration/fueling DOESN'T slow you down
  • There's NO one size fits all plan for your goals

Coach Elisabeth is the founder and Head Coach of Running Explained; her goal is to help educate runners of all abilities and experience levels whatever their goals are to become better, smarter, faster runners!
