AMR Answers: Stacked-Race Training Advice; XT Help for an Injured Aspiring Marathoner

Call this the “put your worries in another bucket” episode, as Coach Dimity assuages concerns for several runners, including Robin, who is worried about running a 5K the day before a half-marathon. (“Think of it as a shake-out run,” she suggest.) Then there’s Emily, who doesn’t need to fret about the timing of her breakfast before a long run or race. Finally, Dimity assures injured-Julie she should be able to make it to the starting line of her October marathon if she continues riding her ElliptiGO bike and easing back into running.    Before the Q+As, Sarah shares her upcoming running-while-traveling plans. Please call 470-BADASS1 (470-223-2771) to record your question.
