82: How to Cross-Train on Vacation
Find out how to mix vacation with exercise when my husband, Robert Gormley, and I talk about different vacations we’ve taken around the world. John Bell, our Runner of the Week, has completed over 100 marathons around the world and discusses some of his favorite races. Some of the races discussed are Paris, London, Great Wall, and New York City. John shares his top tip for how to recover from a marathon when on a trip. Serena Marie, RD, talks about whether or not orange juice is a great choice. We also have an update on our training for the Chicago and New York City Marathons for Action for Healthy Kids. In addition, Serena and I review the FitBit Surge.

Serena and I talk:

How to listen to your body and not your training plan
Our experiences with the fitbit surge which is what our cohort Dean Karnazes wears
We both gave the the fitbit surge two thumbs up as we love to be able to connect with friends and family who use other fitbit products, the gps functionality, the ability to monitor our heart rate, see how many calories have been burned, stairs climbed, ability to set vibrating alarms, see steps taken, amount and quality of sleep, and the ability to receive text and phone call notifications on the watches. We can't wait to see the turquoise and coral colored fitbit surges when they come out.
