Hi, Team.
In this episode of The Amazing Runner’s World Show, Jeff and Aly discuss the most common mistakes new runners make. See why we disagree about the value of a warmup for those just beginning, but are in alignment on the need to patiently build a base before signing up for a long race like a marathon. RW+ members can watch the full episode below.
Thanks for watching. And be sure to leave a comment or send us an email at [email protected] with any questions you want answered or topics you want us to address in future episodes.
The previous episode of The Amazing Runner’s World Show was made available for you to watch thanks to our partners at On. We’ve been testing On’s running shoes since 2012, and On asked us to give you all a look at our process to understand what goes in to our shoe reviews. In addition to road testing of every model by our 300 local wear-testers, we put each shoe through a battery of mechanical tests to give you accurate measurements for weight, stack height, heel-to-toe drop, cushioning, flexibility, and energy return. Watch the full episode now.
