About this listen
Description
This week, we dive into a big one — alcohol and endurance. Matt opens up about his history with addiction, Georgia shares why she quit drinking, and we unpack how alcohol really affects your sleep, recovery, performance and overall mindset as a runner.
We also chat about identity, training motivation, and how alcohol fits (or doesn’t) in the culture of running. Plus, a few spicy thoughts on Strava, Runna, and whether time-based training is actually the smarter way to go.
Also inside:
– Georgia signs up for her first triathlon
– Matt reflects on post-ultra recovery and “soft weeks”
– Is Runna a good app for marathoners on a budget?
– The real reason Strava is losing steam
– How to shift from punishment to patience in early running
🎧 Listener Q&A:
– How do I stop walking during a 5K run?
– Is time-based or distance-based training better for beginners?
– What do you think of the Runna app if I can’t afford coaching?
