Splitting Your Long Run, Marathon Strength Work, Heart Rate Zones in the Heat and More Listener Questions Answered

Today we’re back with more listener questions, but this time
we’re switching up the format and introducing one of the newest
members of our team, Cory Nagler.


Cory is coming on board as our podcast showrunner and today he
and coach Jeff are going to answer the questions you’ve submitted
to us over voicemail and through our social media channels.


Along the way, Coach Jeff is going to introduce you into who Cory
is and what exactly his role at RunnersConnect will be.


They’re also going to cover topics such as…


Whether you still get the benefits from a long run or workout
if you have to split it up

How to adapt heart rate zones for the heat

If strength training is as beneficial for marathon
performance as it is shorter events like the 5k

And a few more.



If you have questions you’d like our coaches to answer on the
podcast, you can head to runnersconnect.net/daily and submit them
to us or send them to us on any of our social channels.

TANRI


Tanri offers all-natural traditional suncreens, SPF 30 mineral
sunscreen, SPF 15 lip balm, an SPF 15 Daily Moisturizer, and an
After-Sun Restorative Moisturizer made for runners, by
runners. 
 
Unlike most chemical sunscreens, Tanri uses Zinc oxide and
titanium dioxide, which protect from both types of UV rays. Plus,
they use all-natural Ingredients that are better for you and the
environment. And, the most important part for runners – it goes
on smooth and won’t burn your eyes during a heavy, sweaty workout
because of the natural ingredients. 
 
Don’t be that runner that acts too late when it comes to taking
care of your skin. If you’ve tried regular sunscreen in the past,
but hated the slimy feel or how it got in your eyes, you’ll love
how Tanri has fixed all those issues for runners.
