Tempo running, or the threshold pace runs are an important component in any runner's training plan, but what is it actually? Kristin Schulz will explain what a tempo or threshold pace run is, and how you can use it in your weekly running to run faster on your journey of becoming a lifelong injury free runner! Kristen Schulz is a runner, running coach, and physical therapist. She is the owner of Run Your Life LLC and the host of Breaking 5 - A Running Podcast. She helps runners reach their next PR without nagging injuries through online run coaching and strength coaching programs. She also helps running clinicians learn how to write running plans and get their first 2-5 online clients.

These are just some of the questions you will get answered during this episode: What is a tempo run? How long is a tempo run? How do you run a tempo run? How fast should a tempo run be? Is a tempo run the same as a threshold run? How often should you do a tempo run? How do you progress a tempo run?

Have you ever been frustrated with the lack of stylish running clothes out there? Does everything just look too plain and boring? Do you just want to look cute, feel good and enjoy wearing your running clothes even when you're not even running? Well, this is one episode you will want to listen to because I had the pleasure of chatting with this mother runner, fashionista, marathoner, and amazing person behind the Stiletto Running brand! Shana will share with you how she became a runner in her 40's, how she shaved an amazing 38 minutes off her marathon time to run a 3:49 time and qualify for Boston, and grew an amazing running clothing company for women. We also chat about the struggles she has faced as a runner whether it was getting a BQ by a comfortable margin just to have it taken away by last years historical 7:47 record cutoff or struggling with a running injury and having to undergo a major medical surgery. I know this chat is going to be super inspiring for those "master runners" who are doubting that you can accomplish that big running goal.

Do you currently wear an insert or orthotic? Have you been told you should be wearing an insole for running? Do you have flat feet? Do you get foot pain with running? Do you want to perform better as a runner? These are all common problems I have helped runners with for the past 17 years as a running physical therapist and coach and I am excited to bring on Matt Arciuolo who is an expert in the field of all things foot and ankle! Matt is a Board Certified Pedorthist and has been helping athletes recover from injuries for over 30 years. As Victory's founder and inventor, he has been helping athletes stay healthier and perform up to their true potential." In this episode, Matt shares his family lineage as Italian immigrant shoe makers and how that upbringing allowed him to come up with the idea to use carbon fiber for performance enhancement. This invention helped the USA bobsled team win Olympic gold long before any of us runners ever thought about carbon fiber shoes! Listen in to learn what Matt had to say about the following questions on carbon fiber: What are carbon fiber insoles? What is the difference between carbon fiber insoles like VKTRY and carbon fiber shoes? What are the benefits of carbon fiber insoles? Are there certain running related injuries that may respond best to carbon fiber insoles. Can these help plantar fasciitis, achilles tendon pain, and 1st toe joint arthritis? Is there an arch type that responds best to carbon fiber insoles? Can carbon fiber insoles be used for road running and trail running? Why should runners choose VK's?
