Melissa | Chicago, IL

I’m a swimmer and get to the pool once or twice a week for 30-60 minutes. I’ve been stuck at around 2 min/100y for years, can’t afford a swim coach and am too intimidated to swim in a group setting. What is the best way for me to improve without a coach?

Daniel | Stuttgart, Germany

I’m 34 and my heart rate is always very high while running, even at an easy pace. What are the main reasons this happens, and how can I bring it down over time, and how long do you think this would take?

Herman | Ft. Lauderdale, FL
