Episode Notes
In today’s episode, Karen and Rachel share updates on their recent injuries and how they’re navigating recovery. Karen has been able to keep training through her injury to an extent, while Rachel is taking time away from running to focus on healing and getting healthy again.
Fortunately, Megan is healthy and continuing to build momentum in training! She shares updates on her recent workouts and mileage progression.
The trio also dives into the return of unavoidable summer sports bra tan lines, tips for training during allergy season, and some of their go-to running shoe recommendations.
Plus, a few listener questions:
