Do you really need to run 20 miles before a marathon? What should you do if your foot hurts where your laces tie? How can you reduce travel fatigue when flying overseas for a race? And should runners take creatine all year round, or stop before race day? We also talk about why consistency matters more than one “perfect” long run, how menopause symptoms can affect performance, and why comparing your current fitness to last year’s PB is not always helpful. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-she-runs-strong-podcast-7075013/episodes/marathon-prep-mistakes-women-over-45-don-t-see-coming/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-she-runs-strong-podcast-7075013/marathon-prep-mistakes-women-over-45-don-t-see-coming.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
