Hi, Team.
A Part of Hearst Digital Media The Amazing Runner’s World Show, Aly is joined by Hype Editor Ashley Tysiac to talk about a pacing tip that changed Ashley's life. Aly tried it this weekend and ran her fastest race in years. Try it for your next race and let us know how it goes. RW+ members can watch the full episode below.
Thanks for watching. And be sure to leave a comment or send us an email at rwclubhouse@hearst.com with any questions you want answered or topics you want us to address in future episodes.
On a previous episode, Jeff and Theo discussed a Puma-funded study that showed that the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 improves running economy by as much as 3.6 percent compared to the Super Shoe Trends and This Pacing Tip Will Have You Running Your Fastest 5K. (Translation: you use less energy to run at a given speed.) That has led to lots of excitement on social media and for some to claim it’s the new king of marathon racing shoes. But, is it? They talked about how they tested the shoe and how it compares to other Amazing Runners World Show that you might reach for in your next race.
Aly is the Director of Content Hype at Runner’s World. She started running over a decade ago when she saw a Star Wars themed race happening at Disneyland and thought it looked like fun. Since then, she has run 8 marathons (so far!), and hundreds of shorter distance races. She is known for signing up for 5Ks in every city she travels to. She loves watching reality competition shows, playing board games with her husband and taking naps with her dog.
Your Complete Guide to Form Drills Runner’s World and the director of product testing. He has tested and reviewed running shoes, GPS watches, headphones, apparel, and more for nearly two decades. He regularly tests more than 100 pairs of shoes each year, and once had a 257-day streak running in different models. Jeff can usually be found on the roads, racing anything from the mile to a marathon, but he also enjoys racing up mountains and on snowshoes. When he’s not running, you’ll probably find him hanging from a ladder making repairs and renovations to his house (he’s also director of product testing for Popular Mechanics).
