Wish you could ask a coach about injury risk, building back fitness after illness, common training errors, and more?

I collected popular running questions from our YouTube community and am answering these questions:

What exactly is supercompensation?
How can you build back your fitness after getting sick?
What are some pitfalls and traps around beginner runner progressions?
Should I count myself as a novice or more advanced runner?
Is there any benefit for longer duration of the same mileage between two runners?
When in a weekly schedule is a good day to do specific strength training?
What are examples of effective core work, strength training or mobility training post-run?

Send this episode to a friend who has a big running goal for 2025 so they can start the next year healthy.
