57: Polly de Mille
This podcast episode is addressing many questions that have been asked by friends (i.e. people who email us) of the Running Lifestyle Show. We’re discussing what is zone training, why to do it, and most importantly, how to figure out what your zones are, with Polly de Mille, RN, MA, RCEP, CSCS, Exercise Physiologist, from the Tisch Sports Performance Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC.
Then, Serena Marie, RD, is addressing a topic that comes up a lot – whether there a correlation between diet and stress fractures.
Our Runner of the Week, Stephen Brown, comes back on the show (he was on episodes 4 & 43) to share what he has been up to, and it’s pretty big.

Why exercise is the best thing anyone can do
What is your VO2 max and why you want to know
Why you want to know your lactic acid threshold
Why a fat adapted diet is ideal for a distance runner
What a runner needs to do to keep on running strong
A "plan B" for figuring out your heart rate zones if you can’t have a VO2 max test
Serena Discusses:
What is the female athlete triad and where you can go to get more information
Why "calories in, calories out" just isn’t ideal
What could be going on when a period is missed
