87: Hip Flexors, Cadence, Running Faster, Injuries & Your First Pull-Up

In this special Ask Your Coach episode, I'm answering some of your most frequently asked questions from running and strength training to injury prevention and building long-term fitness.In this episode, we dive into:• Are your hip flexors actually tight...or are they weak? Learn how to strengthen them and why mobility alone isn't always the answer.• How to improve your running cadence without obsessing over hitting "180 steps per minute."• The biggest mistake runners make when trying to get faster, and why slowing down on your easy runs may be the key to faster race times (we break it down in a way to understand!).• Do I ever get injured? I share my own training philosophy, how I structure my weeks, why I prioritize recovery, and the habits that have helped me stay healthy over the years.• Your roadmap to getting your very first pull-up, including the exact progressions I recommend and why consistency matters more than perfection.Whether you're training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PR, working toward your first pull-up, or simply trying to become a healthier, stronger athlete, this episode is packed with practical coaching tips you can start applying today.Remember: fitness isn't built overnight. It's built one workout, one run, and one consistent day at a time.Train with me inside the Commit App, start your 7-day free-trial!
