It’s not uncommon to hear conflicting information when it comes to training, nutrition, shoes and more. 

There’s often a lot of misleading claims and it can be hard to tell what’s right and what might not be.

So, in today’s show, we’ll go over some common beliefs in the running world to help sort out which have merit when it comes to your training. 

We’re calling it truth vs myth and we’ll be using the latest research and science to help you make sense of what’s accurate and what’s not.

To make this distinction we’re once again turning to our expert group of RC coaches who will cover topics including:

• Does more mileage make you a faster runner?
• Can super shoes really increase efficiency?
• Do you need to stretch before your runs?
• Is it possible that smiling can increase running performance?
• And many more popular claims
