Pre & Post Race Stuff!
Send us a Text Message.#284 - There are A LOT of things we can do to prepare for a race, or a long training run. I'm including training runs in this episode as well, as the preparation and recovery are usually the same things, aren't they? Many things we can prepare, other things we can purchase (who said running is a cheap sport???). Maybe you do some of these things already and others you hadn't thought about. In any case, it's fun to think about some alternative ways to do things and to gi...

Dr George Sheehan - Runner Writer Sage! And A Race Report!
Send us a Text Message.#283 - Dr George Sheehan was a venerable fixture in the 1980s running world. He was a columnist in the once-great Runners World magazine and many of us looked towards his wisdom and incredible running monthly. This week, I talk about his writing, his running and how he enriched many of our lives. I finish the episode with a race report from my first race of the year, Coastal Trail Races' San Francisco Half Day race in the SF Presidio! It was a wonderful day! I'm so...

19 Years Sober!! What Being Sober Means to Me!
Send us a Text Message.#282 - Each year, I like to spend an episode reflecting on sobriety and running and what it all means.

You can contact me through th...

The Heat is ON!
Send us a Text Message.#281 - Summer means more sun and MORE heat! It's been a few years since I last did an episode on heat training, so I thought I'd do an updated one so help us maximize our summer training. We can make the most out of the lighter days and the nicer weather if we plan ahead and take some precautions. Let's have fun this summer and keep running!

The Magic Mile
Send us a Text Message.#280 - Mile races are not very popular anymore. But when we think back to mile races, we may think of Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute mile for the first time and how incredible it must have been. Or, we think of how this distance evolved into the 1500-meter race we have today. Or maybe, you think of the Beer Mile races that are rising in popularity today. There's something about the Miler to me that conjures storytelling, history and the romanticism of running. Th...
