The Training With Tucker Podcast | Running Tips

In this episode I chat with my friend Melody Redburn who is a sustainability consultant AND a badass runner! As someone who works in the space of fighting climate change and reducing harm to the environment, she was the perfect guest to have on to chat about things that everyone can do to reduce their footprint and we also talk about a few relevant topics for endurance athletes specifically!

In this episode I discuss one of my intentions for 2024 and then discuss ways that others can join me in this!

In this episode I recap my experience at the Berlin Marathon on September 24th. I go into some of my lessons and mistakes from this marathon as well as some of my criticisms of the Berlin Marathon and how it is set up and organized. Overall, it was a great experience. Getting to go overseas to run a major marathon was such a cool opportunity and one that does not come around every year or to every runner. Follow that with getting to go to Oktoberfest in Munich and it was a very unique opportunity!

In this episode I chatted with nutrition coach Vic Johnson all about fueling and hydration considerations in the heat/humidity. Vic explains the science behind what is going on in the body when we are training in hotter weather and why that complicates fueling and hydration. He also gives great tips for how you can modify your fueling and hydration to accommodate for training in the heat. Thanks to Vic for making his third appearance on the pod, enjoy!
