    It has been a topic of conversation here in the low lands of western Kentucky as to whether or not training in the heat can be compared to altitude training. In this episode, I go through several articles citing different studies to help us get a better understanding as to how our fitness increases in the muggy swelter of Kentucky summer!

    IT IS SO GOOD TO BE BACK! And we're going to get deep. Negative body image has been something that I've lived with my entire life. You would think now that I'm in the best shape I've ever been in and a 50+ mile per week runner that would go away right? Nope. In this episode, I am going to be totally transparent. I will be citing studies and terminology to help us better understand what it is we're up against.
