  1. Does NCAA Track Have A Problem?

    21H AGO

    Does NCAA Track Have A Problem?

    Send a text #371 - This week, I'm taking a close look at some of the problems with NCAA Track. With the introduction of revenue sharing in collegiate sports, does this announce the ending of track in many colleges and universities? That's one of the questions I tackle as well as a few others.  Also, I turned 67 this week and I talk about what getting older as a runner means to me. It means that some things are slower, besides my running. But I' still getting out there!  Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

  2. Your Guide to San Francisco Stairways!

    Your Guide to San Francisco Stairways!

    Send a text #370 - If you want a great workout, hit the stairs! I did an entire episode on stair workouts and it is a great way to up your running game. I take to another level this week by hosting a guide to some of the best staircases in San Francisco. And we have a lot of them! Each one has a special attraction all its own, be it the tiled stairs, the views from the top, the neighborhood; they're all treasured and worthwhile visiting. So, the next time you're running in San Francisco, please include one of these in your run. You won't regret it!  Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

  3. Logic vs Emotions!

    FEB 10

    Logic vs Emotions!

    Send a text #369 - For us runners, it's a constant battle between our logical brain and our emotions. Sometimes we need logic and in other times we need our emotions. There are times when one or the other will hurt or help us. Today, I help to break it down so that we can tell the difference. By identifying the differences before we start our runs, it can help a lot, because if the latter stages of a long run or race, we may not have the mental energy to do it.  If you haven't checked it out yet, MRTW has a YouTube channel!  https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworld Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

    Don't Make These Rookie Mistakes!

    Send a text #368 - Even us experienced runners goof up. This week's episode is for all runners, beginners and non-beginners who may not remember everything that can help us on our runs and races. I'm probably the one who forgets more of these than anyone! There are so many, I'll probably do a Part 2 in the coming weeks because it doesn't hurt to have a reminder!  Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

    7th Anniversary and My Thoughts About It

    Send a text #367 - You may yourself, how did I get here?  Yes, sometimes on long, hard runs or races that aren't going well, I think of the Talking Heads. What else fits so well? On this, the 7th Anniversary show, I talk about a few things that doing a running podcast has not only changed my life, but also made my commitments more grounded and real. Take a listen and enjoy and a huge THANK YOU!!! This goes out to all MRTW listeners and how I am so grateful for you.     Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

    Chris Avery Runs For Purpose & Faith!

    Send a text #366 - Chris Avery is a streak runner. Usually streak runners keep their streaks going with one to three miles a week. Chris these days is running 17 miles a day. But he's working up to something BIG. In 2027 he plans to set a world record and that's what he talks to us about this week. You don't want to miss this show; you will be inspired and you'll want to go run!  https://www.instagram.com/chrisrunsamerica?igsh=MWpxZTF0eWxweXBnNg==  https://www.facebook.com/chris.avery.9083/ https://chrisrunsamerica.com/ Hidden West: https://www.youtube.com/@HiddenWest2026 Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

  7. How Running Changes Us!

    How Running Changes Us!

    Send a text #365 - The minute we decide to start running, we're changed. And on that first run, we will never be the same again. This week, I talk about the extraordinary ways running changes us. I could also say we are metamorphosized when we decide to become runners. That's how powerful running is in our lives. That's how much it means to us. So, get ready for a big dose of energy, of endorphins, or happiness, because, that's what this week is all about!  Bootleg Boogie https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=125019 Hidden West https://www.youtube.com/@HiddenWest2026 Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

    Disappointments Lead to Lost Opportunities

    Send a text #364 - To start 2026 off right, I thought I would address some issues we runners have, and yes, I have these issues myself. Sometimes when we're disappointed in our running it can lead to more negatives. It can make us lose opportunities that might help us or be better for us in running. It's easy to let our negative thinking move our running in the wrong direction, so I hope these can help you in your running and start your new year off great!  Hidden West is a YouTube channel all about the people, places and events that make the western US so interesting!  https://www.youtube.com/@HiddenWest2026 Support the show Martha Runs the World website https://www.buzzsprout.com/248027 Email: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#
