Getting the gains without getting the soreness!

Hey guys! I absolutely love your show and always walk away with learning so much! I am training for my 3rd half marathon and running between 15-25 miles a week. I also try to incorporate weight training 3-5 days a week and 1-2 cycling classes (because I enjoy it!). It’s hard to do everything I love without getting injured and extremely sore! What’s the line between training like a badass and gaining muscle and endurance and reducing injury and properly recovering. Thank you so much!!! -Kayla

Nutrition Facts

What is a good source for accurate nutrition Facts? I'll search in Google, what the nutrition facts for chicken breast are and will get a different answer from every website. Some super inconsistent with others.

Cardio - improve VO2Max?

I often feel during workouts that my muscles are not fatigued but my heart is and I have to stop the set. On a different podcast I've heard that doing cardio can help on that by improving the VO2Max. Is that correct?

Not a q, but episode recommendation

Hey both 👋 As a therapist, I absolutely loved the session you had on the mental health side of fitness and health. I've always been interested in how mental and physical health are interlinked, so I would love to have an episode on health psychology and behavioural psychology relating to nutrition and exercise, if this is something within your remit 🙂 e.g. a smaller but full bowl makes you think you're eating more than a larger, more empty bowl, etc. Love the pod so much, it's been so helpful 😊

Program training longer then 12 weeks?

Is there a reason I shouldnt use a training program for longer then 12 weeks? Doing the full body split right now and love it, I hate setting up my own training program so I am already dreading changing it. Why can’t I do it till I get bored after 12 weeks?
