In this episode of Beyond the Finish Line, We answer your questions!
We deep dive into race day hydration, warm-up and cool-down hacks for busy runners, recovery after your first marathon, and how to pace a marathon — plus we tackle the controversial question: “How many marathons is too many for a beginner?”

We also take time to reflect on our journey through 26 episodes, share personal training updates, lessons learned as podcasters, and celebrate this awesome running community.
