In today's episode, Karen, Megan, and Rachel catch up on all things training, injuries, and life lately before diving into a round of listener questions.
Rachel shares how she's added swimming into her recovery from injury and why she's unexpectedly fallen in love with it. Megan gives an update on the chaos of moving and how she's balancing it with the rest of her life.
The Chicks also chat about the importance of taking rest days and break down a recent study on minimum mileage recommended to successfully run a marathon and how cross training can help make up for lower running volume.
Plus, they answer your questions, including:
\- Spring/summer marathons to target if you're racing CIM (or another fall/winter marathon)
\- How to find a running coach who's the right fit
