155. Hormones and Athletics, Ultra Legs Strength, and Improving Technical Running!

We woke up before sunrise like it was Christmas morning for our favorite day of the week: PODCAST TUESDAY! The main training topic was on simple tips to improve technical running, and how the principles of thinking about form on difficult terrain can also improve health and performance on roads. After this episode, you'll believe in the ultimate power of THE CHOP. We also talked about a wonderful new study (led by Dr. Megan) with a whopping 10-year time horizon, looking at improving health outcomes in collegiate athletes. The conclusions have profound implications for how we think about athletics, performance, and culture!

And that was just the start of the fun! Other topics: hormones and athletics through the lens of a listener question about how training impacts their sex drive, the science of collagen, the perils of professional running (that may apply to whatever your profession is too), the debut of the long-awaited Ultra Legs strength routine, and MORE HOT TAKES. You'll hear about someone out there with a truly bonkers approach to preventing blisters. We can't wait for you to find out and share our horrified admiration.
