In this episode, Rachel talks about a camping adventure; the two ladies discuss whether or not there are "ideal rep ranges" for building strength and muscle; they dive into one listener's question about how to train for a marathon without impacting fertility; and, because you can never understand your body TOO well, they talk again about training around your period: should you train differently at different times of the month, and if so--how and why?
