Welcome to the Women’s Running Lab Podcast. I’m your host, Alison Marie teacher, coach and self proclaimed running nerd. Here you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the physics and physiology of running and what that means for your body and your training. We are going to get nerdy, but we are also going to break it down into the simplest form of what actually works AND in a way that you can consistently do it.
