Listen "132. Coach Abby Stanley on Athletic Development and Making the Most of Your Training"
Episode Synopsis
Abby Stanley is the assistant cross country and track coach for Cal Baptist and the cohost of the Up and Running Podcast. She's also my teammate for Rambling Runner's Virtual Race Series Podcaster Challenge. And I'm happy she's on my team - she's a 2:52 marathoner, too! Her first race ever was a marathon in college - not the best introduction to racing, but it got her hooked. Now, she surrounds herself with running as a coach and podcaster. On the Strength Running podcast, we're discussing a wide-ranging set of issues designed to help you improve: What aspect of fitness do most runners need to develop? How does she focus on injury prevention - and what are the most effective prevention strategies? Should beginners race "complex" or challenging races? How can we adapt the lessons she's learned working with college athletes to us adult runners? Subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or Google Play.
