Abby Coleman (sports scientis with Precision Hydration) and I go over some running myths and listener questions:\n\xb7 Can you overload on sodium/have too much? Is too much sodium bad for you?\n\xb7 Is more than 2% dehydration detrimental to performance?\n\xb7 Do women and men have different hydration needs?\n\xb7 Can you just drink water to thirst?\n\xb7 What\u2019s the most efficient way for a cool climate runner to adapt to training and racing in the tropics?\n\xb7 Salt tablets: when you consider taking salt tablets? Ie, if you\u2019re running longer than a set period of time? Or if you\u2019re a heavy or light sweater? Or are they not necessary?\n\xb7 Is it true that during taper and post-race we need to increase our fruit and vegetable intake because when we slow down or reduce training after weeks of building up our immune system is compromised therefore we get sick?\n\xb7 What is the effect of a job where we do a lot of standing/walking/lifting and bending. Can this be included as training? Do we need to take it into consideration when planning our training?\n\xb7 Is the 10% rule on increasing mileage really true?\n\xb7 When running in the heat of summer, what sort of leeway should we give ourselves when it comes to pace?\n\xb7 How many ultra races a year should we do as A races?\nHere is the link to the blog we discussed: How to START hydrated and why that's so important\nThe discount code for listeners to get 15% off their first order is PEAK15.\nAre injuries or ongoing niggles causing running to be painful ruining your enjoyment of your sport and hobby?

Mash01 wrote \u201cThis podcast is essential listening not just because there are far too few women who dedicate precious hours of their busy lives to share their passion, knowledge and learning. Isobel has chosen fascinating people to have great conversations with. She has a talent to turn even the relatively mundane topics (e.g. nutrition or the importance of exercising other than running ;-) into thought- provoking discussions. Every episode is different in content but exudes Isobel\u2019s enthusiasm for the sport and admiration/appreciation of the people she is talking to and the topics she is discussing. Thank you for the great company along long runs, and while cooking/cleaning/ironing.\u201d Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and five stars and I am so happy to keep you company. Reading such reviews really warms my heart.\nIf you are interested in taking your running to the next level, email me isobel@peakendurancecoaching.com.au to organise an individualised training plan.\nEnjoy the interview with Abby!
