10. Do you really need to cross train? Plus doing it all and adding protein!

On this episode answered a few listener questions in our conversation ! We touched on the statistics of heart rate data and HRV and zone training. We mentioned The Happy Runner and strides - which are basically intervals!

We chatted about the importance of cross training and strength training during marathon training and what level is appropriate. You can replace an easy workout with 10 minutes of cross training per mile you would have run. But you don’t want to zap yourself on easy days with hard cross training efforts. Recovery adaptations happen while at rest!

Liz gave some awesome advice that she gives to the kids she coached through swim - sometimes it’s just about showing up. We talked about trying to “do it all” and the amazing Gregg Renfrew and our income stream with BeautyCounter! Shop here to support the pod!

We discussed the research from this study that looked at 2 groups of overweight women - and gave one of them a high protein diet - which caused significant change in their appetite, body fat percentages, and waist circumference. So basically throw some protein on it! Which is a great time to mention our favorite protein powder - Orgain - and you can shop with us to save money and help us keep the podcast going (and get 30% off your first order by using code COACHLIZ30).
