chats with Running Influencers, Researchers, Olympians, Experts & Everyday Runners
Health:Fitness & Nutrition
Understanding they “why” behind your workouts is an often overlooked aspect of training for many runners.
Whether it be because you are new to the sport or because you’ve read outdated or faulty advice, many runners struggle because they can’t connect the physiological with what they’re trying to accomplish on trails, road and track.
On our podcast today to help us better understand training methodology and training science is author and coach Steve Magness.
Steve is an accomplished runner himself (he ran 4:01 for the mile in high school), a former assistant coach at the Nike Oregon Project, the author of an authoritative blog, The Science of Running, and is now the head cross country coach at the University of Houston. He has also recently published a book called The Science of Running: How to find your limit and maximize your performance.
Some of the main points that Steve and I discussed included:
We’d like thank Steve for his time and wish him and his teams luck in the outdoor track season.
If anything in the interview inspires any thoughts, we’d love to hear them. We’d also love to know what you think of our podcasts. You can leave a comment here or on our iTunes page. You can also leave us a voice message at (617) 356-7969.
We look forward to your feedback and thanks for listening.
