In this episode of The I Don't Know Running Podcast, Lewis and Mitch are back—boot-free (almost) and ready to talk about the training myths that runners hear all the time. Do you really need to run every day? Will more miles actually make you better? Does stretching actually prevent injury?
We dig into the good, the bad, and the funny when it comes to common running advice. From marathon-specific myths to general training misconceptions, we’re sharing what we’ve learned (and laughed at) along the way.
📌 Topics we hit:
- Rest days: Do they help or hurt?
- Why more miles isn’t always better
- Stretching, strength training & running form
- Barefoot running (we’re not fans)
- And yes… potassium and cramping 🤷♂️
👉 Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned marathoner, there’s something here for you.
