Ready for us to dish on all the Q&A's that you have, or maybe didn't even realize you had?!Q. How'd we get started running?A. Erin - Dated into a family of runners - yep I was that meme that people talk about not wanting to marry into a family that runs 5ks on holidays...  And fun fact, I got cut from track in high school... twice. SO much to unpack here, including being a female and navigating your period and other related things that we don't talk about! A. Mich - Started track in middle school and quit... But in high school, I was a sub for the 4x4 where I found myself running in a heat and qualifying time that I should not have been in... and that pity clap at the end lives on in my brain still to this day! I picked running back up in college, but it was on my terms this time.Q.  What's your favorite race?A. Mich - Chicago Marathon! The energy of Chicago is unmatched.  A. Erin - Peach Tree! But also loved Berlin... Tough decision.Q. How do you stay motivated to run?A. Erin - I don't... I know I'm my best self after I move my body in a way that I want to. I try to keep the bigger picture in mind.A. Mich - It's important to hold both discipline and self-compassion. I also remember that I am blessed to be able to run and that means everything.Q. Recovery after runs.A. Erin - Eat after your run! That is my one piece of advice.A. Mich - Eating that protein after your run helps so much with your recovery process.Q. Fueling for long runs with nutrition. (We will be bringing on an expert to chat about this topic!)A. Erin - Find what works well for you and try new things. Also, track how you feel.A. Mich - Don't practice it on your long runs. Try it out on short runs first to see how your body reacts.  We'd love to hear your questions!
