**BOSTON, MA –** Runner’s World’s “Amazing Runner’s World Show” has released two new episodes packed with advice for runners. In the latest episode, Jeff, Runner-in-Chief for Runner’s World, and Aly, Director of Content Hype at Hearst’s Enthusiast & Wellness Group, provide a guided virtual tour of the Boston Marathon course, offering tips on navigating the challenging hills, particularly Heartbreak Hill. The episode also highlights key landmarks, including the start village and the statue of Spencer the dog. RW+ members can access the full episode for detailed strategies.

A previous episode focused on heart rate training. Aly revealed her past reliance on “vibes” instead of heart rate monitoring, prompting Jeff to advocate for utilizing heart rate zones for more effective training, especially on hilly terrain. He emphasized the superior accuracy of chest straps over GPS watches for heart rate measurement. This episode is also available exclusively to RW+ members.

Both episodes offer valuable insights for runners of all levels, building upon previous Runner’s World content covering various marathon-related topics, including training plans, race bib demand, and elite athlete news.
