TRACK MEET SIGNUP: https://runsignup.com/Race/KY/Louisville/LifeInStriderTrackNight Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, we did some banter but our good friend Jack Keyes replaced Scotty for the episode! Jack is visiting from Ireland (he is from Louisville but lives in Dublin) and we had a great time catching up and talking some fun topics on this episode. We talked about European vs American running culture/etiquette, how important race weight is, how Jack increased volume from 20 to 120 miles so quickly + how fast the World Cup players could run a 5k.
