You may know I have strong feelings about using heart rate to steer training for running BUT I know lots of people love it, so let's talk about it. I cover: why I don't love using heart rate by itself, the typical zones, how I recommend calibrating your zones, and how I like to integrate heart rate into training. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another What's What with Klutz! On my mind today is a couple really exciting and inspiring stories from the women's track world and the runner's knee I've been dealing with for 3 weeks. Enjoy!

Lucie Hanes is back on the podcast! If you haven't listened to last time she was on the pod, check it out . Last time, we chatted about mental strength and running, but this time around, we're talking about Lucie's own training. Specifically: how the heck does she climb and run (specifically run ultras), both at a high level, and work full time and function as an adult human. We dive i...

JK is BACK for another crossover episode! In true JK and Kelly fashion, we had a loose plan of what we wanted to talk about that was taken off the rails by many tangents and stories. Here's what we covered: - what is an influencer? - are we influencers? - dealing with gymtimidation  - gym layouts - intimidation around running groups - how to find running groups - that one time JK ran a half ma...

Long time no talk! It's been over 2 months since our last What's What with Klutz episode, so it was time for a catch up episode. This episode is all about how it's been coaching full time, my COVID experience, my race schedule, and my current obsession with track races.

This week I have Elizabeth Knight, nurse practitioner, life coach, and runner back on the podcast! (Listen to the first time Elizabeth was on in episode 31 ) I had Elizabeth back on more for a conversation than an interview this time since we have so much in common as runners and coaches.

This week, I have a very special guest! I invited one of my athletes, Mack Nia, on to the podcast to share her story of going from struggling to complete couch to 5k in 2020 to completing multiple ultramarathons.

Guess who ran another 5k this past weekend?! This is the final 5k to wrap up my winter of 5k training, and I was so excited going into this race. Race day was the day before my last day in corporate, so it felt serendipitous for 5k training and corporate work to end at the same time. I was aiming, yet again, to run a sub 24 after running 24:04 in January in Carlsbad and 25:03 in December at the sa...

This week, I welcome back Jess Schnier to the podcast! Last time she was on, we talked all about diversity in trail and ultra running (highly recommend you listen to that episode), but you didn't really get to know a ton about Jess. Jess and I have become good friends since last recording, so I thought it would be fun to have her on again to talk more about HERSELF. Listen in to hear about Jes...
