Pilates as Strength Training, Can You Overfuel on Long Runs, If Max Cushion Shoes are Harmful and More: Our Hot (Science-based) Takes
About this episode
The episode discusses various science-based topics in running, including the role of Pilates in strength training and the implications of carbon plated shoes for different runners.
In this episode, we bring a nuanced, science-based approach to many hot topics in running right now. What causes muscle cramps? Does Pilates count as strength training? Should slower runners wear carbon plated shoes? Is it possible to overfuel on long runs? Our goal is to provide individualized guidance, rather than click-baity universalized proclamations. In this episode, we provide our informed takes on: ✅ What actually causes muscle cramps (according to science) ✅ If taking walk breaks discounts a marathon effort ✅ If back of pack and midpack runners benefit from carbon plated shoes ✅ Why Pilates does not replace resistance training ✅ Is there such a thing as overfueling on long runs? Tread Lightly Running is hosted and researched by Amanda Brooks and Laura Norris, MSc. Production, show notes, and graphics by Laura Norris.
