How to make your next marathon better than your last

By on September 18, 2024 in Beginner, Listener Question

Here’s a question we received from a listener to the podcast named Samantha.

Hi! I have been listening to you guys for a couple of years now and I completed my first marathon in Dec. 2023 listening to the podcast!! I heard about the Las Vegas Marathon through you guys and I am signed up and ready to go! I am quite a bit into my training and I’m wondering if the elevation change is significant enough that I need to tailor some of my training to it. If you have any quick tips to incorporate to help my second marathon go smoothly that would be very appreciated!
Thank you! -Samantha

What day to do a lower body workout

By on February 25, 2024 in Listener Question

MTA Coach Carri answers a question about leg day from an Academy member named Anjelica.

“When should I do my leg strength workout? Do I do it on the same day that I run or on the next day when I am not running ? And if I do it on the next day that I’m not running would this caused the legs to not get rested?”

Getting Real About Running Injuries

By on February 16, 2022 in Injury, Listener Question, Podcasts

*[Audio Content Available For Members Only. Click Here to Join Now]

In this podcast episode I answer a question from a discouraged runner and share statistics, tips, and hope on dealing with an injury so you can keep doing what you love.

Many of the episodes that we do are inspired by emails and feedback that we get from listeners.

The question that prompted the topic of dealing with injury came in from Megan who asks,

“Question for Angie.  She’s been dealing with a hamstring injury.  I’m curious if she in hindsight feels like she did something wrong that could have prevented this injury.. . For someone who has all the tools and knowledge to prevent injury like you guys, to still get injured is disheartening to me.  I like to think if you’re smart, you can be an injury free runner, but I guess that’s not the case.  I’m dealing with a debilitating posterior tibial tendon disfunction that will likely never go away.” -Megan.

Benefits of Run-Walk-Run Method

By on February 1, 2022 in Listener Question

Coach Lynn has run a marathon in every US state after the age of 40. She is a certified running coach and registered dietician with experience in the run-walk-run method. Learn about MTA Coaching here.

Listener Question:

“I’ve run 7 marathons trying to qualify for Boston. In my races as I start to lose speed around 21 miles I see people I was well ahead of pass me with seem lying fresh legs. I could see that through out the race they used the run-walk technique. What is your opinion of this technique as a strategy to get a faster time? Have you or any of the runners you trained used the run-walk technique? Thanks for your time”. -Chris in Lexington Kentucky
