Kelly and JK start episode 74 after switching podcast platforms and share updates after several weeks. Kelly mentions her husband Ty’s birthday, reviews her first month using an Oura Ring, and describes adding regular after-work “evening commute” walks. She also gives a brief running update ahead of an upcoming two-mile race. JK shares a short training update about lifting and cardio. They spend the rest of the episode discussing a Threads post claiming recreational runners don’t need strength training, walking through common arguments and their thoughts, and close with where to find the show online.
