#42: Helping You Prevent Injuries as We Run DIZ World Run The Race

- Health & Fitness
Whether you're focused on your faith, a new or experienced runner, or getting fit in other ways, I hope you'll subscribe to this podcast. The guest this week is someone that will inspire you to "Take The Next Step" and "Be Ready on Race Day" - the title of his book.
I just recently competed in an in-person running relay, but as you know, I'm also part of a 12-16 month virtual event called CRAW (Circumpolar Race Around the World). Our 10 person team "We Run Diz World" includes the man who I'm chatting with for this episode, the host of popular running podcast Diz Runs Radio with more than 1 million plays.
(3:51) After a brief introduction, Denny Krahe - the Chief Everything Officer (CEO) of DizRuns.com - and I talk about meeting at the very rainy Marine Corps Marathon last year, before COVID hit. What's his favorite race distance to run and why? (7:17) He answers that and my "Fast Four" where we learn this husband/father's inspirational mantra and his weekly running routine.
(14:20) Injury prevention is a hot topic for all of us, especially athletes. Denny gives us some pro advice as a certified athletic trainer (ATC) and certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS): Start slow and gradual, help your body adapt to pounding and pain, recover, don't compare yourself to others.
This podcast host is the one answering the questions this time. (19:30) Denny talks about the origin of "Diz Runs" which now has nearly 900 episodes and 1.1 million plays in 6+ years, and how he balances the podcast with his life. (23:50) He also has a goal, like me, of running a marathon in all 50 states.
(26:55) With most races canceled because of the coronavirus, what's the point of virtual ones? Denny says they can motivate us, hold us accountable, even help us compete in a "team sport." One example is CRAW, for which our team will run or walk 35,000 miles or 50,000 km, learning about different countries and cultures. Our 10-person crew knocked out about 3,000 miles in the first 6 weeks.
Denny is also an author. (34:28) Check out his book "Be Ready on Race Day" which he previews as a way to write your own custom training plan instead of the one-size-fits-all ones. (38:30) This running coach also gives some great insight into the benefits of easy running and training your aerobic base, as opposed to "No pain, no gain." Usain Bolt gets better as the race goes, so can you.
(44:13) We close with what's next for Denny, from a potential 50K, lots of miles for CRAW, and a future book about marathons and metaphors. (48:44) The final segments are "Food for Thought" where we learn how waffles can make you better at running, plus a nun's treadmill marathon, then the "Parting Gift" is the Bible verse that inspired the name of this podcast.
