Coach MK livestreams question and answer sessions each week on the Fitness Protection Program Facebook Page, The Fitness Protection Program YouTube Channel, and Twitch, simultaneously. Join us! They are a lot of fun, super informative, and anyone may ask follow-up questions during the live broadcast!
This week we didn't expect many questions so were planned a Tiger King Netflix party with Dalia Kinsey....but a last-minute question changed the course of the evening.
A listener asked about the safety of running in a mask as per the new CDC guidelines, and Coach MK invited Sponsored Athlete Nikkia Young to join Dalia in explaining why masks may actually be dangerous for some people.

QUESTIONS
- Hi Coach! I've been heart rate training for 3 years and now that races are cancelled, I want to focus on my easy effort pace...which hasn't changed much since I started HRT.
- Is it safe to run in a mask?
- Hi MK, I'm slowly getting back at it. Right now I can't handle any failure, so I'm aiming at just getting out the door more days than not. I'd like to say I'm in lane one of rebuild, but the reality is I'm not yet their. Aside from refocusing I'm just rebuilding my habit what is your recommendation for the most important thing for me to do in regards to running? As always...gratefully coached and loved ❤️Melissa
