In this Q+A episode, we're diving deep into all things cardio and running. From choosing the best cardio modality for your goals, to navigating heart rate training without overcomplicating it, this conversation tackles what actually matters when it comes to building endurance and improving performance. We also discuss how to manage exercise-induced asthma, the benefits of cardio during pregnancy, and how to get started if you're new to running or just getting back into it. Whether you're deciding between treadmill or outdoor runs, trying to balance strength training with cardio, or wondering how nutrition and warmups factor in, we've got practical, real-world advice. Plus, we share insights on the mental side of running—and why yes, you absolutely can be a runner, no matter your body type or experience level.
