In this episode of Ask the Coaches, Lucho and Brock tackle listener questions about achieving a BQ if you are a noob, losing weight with keto, what to do when MAF stops working, and how to prepare for a cold 3k swimming race. But first, in their intro banter, they talk about:
- “Shake the meat off the bone approach” to acute muscle cramping. In other words, don’t immediately start stretching it. Shake/massage the area instead.
- Brock’s experimenting with the stripping approach to weight lifting: continuing an exercise at a lower weight once muscle failure has been achieved at a higher weight.
- Favorite strength exercises for the coaches this week:
- Excitement over the crossover between vertical jumps and sprinting (check out Brock’s Get Fit Guy article)
Amanda asks:
I recently started listening to endurance planet and I’m in love. I just finished my 2nd full marathon and I want to keep building off of it. My goal is to run the Boston and I want to learn what are the best resources to use in order to achieve this? For example, what are some of the best training schedules, best ways to learn proper nutrition for me, what strength workouts to incorporate into training, Garmin vs Apple Watch? I’m also excited to purchase a heart rate monitor. I’m 23 years old and turning 24 & I love Neil Young. I really want to keep learning and building my knowledge. I also want to be able to afford it.
