If you use a running watch or another device to track your workouts, you probably have plenty of data to dig into after a run. But what does all that running form data actually tell you? Coaches Brady Hoover and Ryan Tibball return to the podcast to break it all down. From vertical oscillation and stride length to cadence and ground contact time, they explain what these metrics mean, what they look for, and how to use the information to better understand your running. Brady and Ryan also explore how running form metrics relate to the data you're probably more familiar with, including pace, heart rate, and power zones. And what should you pay attention to on race day? They've got that covered, too! Whether you're a data enthusiast or simply curious about what your watch is telling you, this episode will help you make sense of your run form metrics and understand how they can inform your training and racing.

As a runner, you've probably dealt with your fair share of aches, niggles, and injuries. But being injury-prone doesn't mean you can't succeed, it may just mean giving your body a little extra attention. This week, Dr. B.J. Leeper joins the podcast to share strategies for staying healthy and continuing to train when injuries seem to be a recurring challenge. B.J. breaks down common injuries, how everyday mistakes can contribute to them, and how to tell the difference between normal discomfort and pain that means you should stop. We also discuss the importance of adapting your training to meet your needs. Plus, B.J. shares tips for stretching, mobility, and recovery tools that can help keep your body healthy and moving. Finally, B.J. introduces his newest offering, Leeper Labs, which provides virtual consultations for athletes looking for additional guidance. If you've ever felt like injuries are holding you back from reaching your running goals, this episode is packed with advice to help you keep moving forward.
With so many running shoes on the market, choosing the right pair can feel overwhelming, whether you're buying your first pair or thinking about trying a new brand. This week, Coach Nolan McKenna returns to the podcast to help us navigate the world of running shoes and find the right fit for our individual needs. Nolan works at a running shoe store and recently represented Team USA at the Ultramarathon World Championships in India, so he’s logged plenty of miles in all kinds of shoes. Nolan walks us through the steps he takes with runners looking for new shoes and shares some of the biggest mistakes runners make when choosing a pair (so you can learn from others who figured it out the hard way). He also breaks down what really matters when selecting a shoe, why color and style shouldn't be the deciding factors, how many pairs you should have in rotation, and when it's time to replace them. By the end of this episode, you'll be ready to head to your local running store with the right questions to help you find your perfect pair.
Do you really need to train for a 5K? Absolutely! The 5K is one of the most popular race distances for a reason. It’s short enough to be brutal, but long enough to really test your fitness, and proper training can make a huge difference on race day. Coach Brady Hoover joins Carrie to break down how to train for your next 5K and how RunDot can help. Brady explains what a typical 5K training plan looks like for athletes of all levels, why speed work is essential for hitting your goal pace, and how easy runs and recovery days play an important role in getting faster. They also tackle some of the most common race-day challenges and share how to prepare for them ahead of time so they don’t catch you by surprise. Whether you’re training for your first 5K, chasing a new PR, or crossing the finish line wondering if you had a little more left in the tank, this episode is for you!
Do you have big goals but aren't sure how to turn them into a clear plan? This episode is for you. Legendary running and triathlon coach Bobby McGee returns to the podcast to share his four-level goal-setting framework, helping endurance athletes move beyond outcome-based goals and focus on the daily habits and processes that drive long-term success. Bobby also explores the mental side of performance, including emotional regulation, mental warm-ups, and self-awareness during training. He explains how tools like RaceX and TrainX scores can help athletes connect their training data with the choices they make both mentally and physically. One of the biggest takeaways? Every workout should have a purpose. Training with intention leads to greater consistency, confidence, and performance. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply looking to train smarter, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you reach your goals.
You know they're important, and they're listed in nearly every workout but do you actually do your warm-up and cooldown every session? Coaches Elizabeth James and Ryan Tibball join the podcast to break down everything you need to know about warming up and cooling down. They explain the physiology behind a proper warm-up, how long it should be, and how to tailor it to the type of workout you're about to tackle. They also dive into stretching, including when to stretch and which types of stretching are most effective. Then, after a hard session, you can't just stop. Elizabeth and Ryan explain why a proper cooldown matters and how gradually bringing your heart, lungs, and muscles back to baseline can help kick-start recovery before your next workout. Whether you're guilty of skipping your warm-up, rushing through your cooldown, or just want to understand why they're built into your training plan, this episode will have you ready to train smarter, recover better, and reduce your risk of injury!
Carbohydrates are essential and let's be honest, they're delicious. But how many carbs does a runner actually need? The answer isn't the same every day, and that's where carbohydrate periodization comes in. Registered dietitian Jillian Tholen returns to the podcast to explain the science behind matching your carbohydrate intake to your training. From easy recovery days to peak training weeks and race season, Jillian shares how your nutrition should evolve as your training ebbs and flows throughout the year. She explains how to successfully carb load before race day, and discusses why carb loading can sometimes leave you feeling a little uncomfortable in the moment but pays off when it matters most. Whether you're training for your first 5K or your next marathon, this episode is packed with simple and actionable advice to help you fuel better and perform at your best!
