Talked about his training.

He recently raced against Connor Mantz at the Falmouth Road Race, talked about how much stock he takes in beating Connor in that race, going into New York.

This was actually good timing, too, because he's r- running the Great North Run in England this weekend against a pretty stacked field.

Talked about how he's feeling going into that and much more.

I mean, same.

I was just talking to someone because like, I mean, I'm not a world-class athlete in any capacity, you know, like I'm lucky if I like, I won one 50 K once and, Um, and like, I actually did place like first for the, so if you live in Falmouth, they have like a, like a ranking of everyone who lives in town when you run the Falmouth road race.

So I have actually placed as the first female overall for the Falmouth road race.

That's cool.

So I'm not like the slowest gal in town, but I'm also definitely not like a world-class athlete, you know? Um, but that was like, Hey, you got street credit.

If you do this, you should be able to do large sections of your long runs and higher temperatures by the time your race comes around.

And if your schedule and resources allow, it's also a good idea to get your race location, get to your race location a few days to help with your acclimatization, says John Jardine, MD, Chief Medical Officer of the Corey Stringer Institute and Medical Director for the Falmouth Road Race in Massachusetts.

Heat exhaustion starts with queasiness or lethargy, vomiting, muscle cramps, or just not feeling well, says John Jardine, MD, chief medical officer at the Corey Stringer Institute and medical director of the Falmouth Road Race.

If it progresses to heat stroke, there's usually a change in mental status, being off balance, experiencing general confusion, or having slurred speech are cues a runner needs to get help ASAP.

Earlier this year, Jess was the top American and set the American course record at the Boston Marathon.

Jess is actually the first athlete repeat guest we've had here on the Out and Back podcast.

We're glad she could join us today in the studio.

So...

Today, we are going to be giving you my recap of what happened during the Falmouth Road Race weekend.

This is just going to be kind of me blabbing to the camera, so if that's not your style, go find some other video to watch, you know.

Hopefully it's another run of video, but you know, there are plenty of other great creators out there on YouTube.

But this will be my recap of the Falmouth Road Race weekend, because we had a very fabulous, fun, amazing, fantastic weekend at the Falmouth Road Race this year, so...

Stay tuned for that.
