--running-longevity advice

--mantras he repeats during races

--the 2016 Olympic Marathon in Rio, including his now-famous fall at the finish line

In answering Maureen from Chicago’s question, Coach Dimity says while there is a place for both body-weight exercises (think clamshells and one-legged squats) and using weights to strength train, ultimately the former is better for injury prevention amongst runners.

Ryan shares what it’s like to be a spectator at Boston instead of a competitor, then segues into what the title of his new memoir, Run the Mile You’re in, means to him.

Ryan admits how nervous he felt about retiring from professional running—then breaks news regarding the launch of an online personal training program he is involved in called Run Free Training.
