Tri This S1E22: Side Stitch and Bonking!

Kirstin is two weeks away from the Coeur D'Alene Ironman so she has started her taper week and is feeling good and ready to go. In this episode she discusses a few things that can impact runners and the run portion of triathlon. Side stitches and bonking. What are they? What causes them and why do they happen? How can we avoid them or if they start, what can we do about it? Both bonking and side stitches can be a common experience for many endurance athletes, so we hope you enjoy the episode and get something helpful to take away with you for your training. Next week we'll be discussing race day preparation and everything Kirstin is doing to prepare for the race.
