Work, Play, Love: (Ep. 31) Weight Loss, Training for Distance, Family Play and Going Pro: I love this podcast by former pro-runner Lauren Fleshman and pro-triathlete Jesse Thomas.

This episode answers an important question about the idea of a “race weight,” as well as ideas for training to your strengths.
