Should Your Partner Have to Attend Your Races?
Description
On this episode of For Better or For Worse, Alex and Alexis kick things off with a truly disgusting round of "worst first impressions" (snot rockets, projectile vomit, and a barrata tomato incident) before rehashing the real story of their own disastrous first date. Then it's into the training: Alexis tackles a 5x4-minute threshold workout with Alex coaching from the e-bike, followed by an honest check-in on runner burnout as they close in on the Toronto 5K. The big debate of the week: is it "princess treatment" or just bare-minimum support to expect your partner at every race? Plus audience questions on run-walk pacing strategy, the real science behind bee stings, and whether runners should share their training journey on social media at all.
