290. No-Secrets Q+A on Running Form, Heat Training, Uphill Treadmill, Supplement Hypotheticals, Bicarb v. Nomio, Power Meters, and More!

We realized the perils of a hurricane-force tailwind before this amazing holiday episode! To celebrate the season, we opened up the mailbag to answer listener questions on all sorts of topics. Topics this week: what we’d save from a fire, a hot-tub experiment follow-up, Megan’s exciting news, whether we’d ever try triathlon, a vest that ejects gels, heat training submersion levels, hemoglobin A1C and REDs, iron supplementation, uphill treadmill effort and timing, scheduling rest days, a supplement hypothetical, Nomio v. sodium bicarbonate, cycling metrics, running power meters, running form changes, tart cherry juice hacks, training on a through-hike, limiting aid station support, and a beautiful listener corner message. Thank you so much for being here in 2025! May your holidays be like the water in our hot tub: ELECTRIC. We love you all!
