The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-475 – Kayla – Plant-based Coach (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4475.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Chris’ other show à Intro: Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4475 of the RunRunLive podcast. Here we are. Back at it again. Today we talk with Kayla who is a coach and specializes in a plant-based methodology for her athletes. We had a good chat and I think we can always learn from coaches, that’s why I talk o them a lot. Coaches have the advantage of experience. Not only their own direct knowledge and experience, but the leverage of the experience of everyone they coach. Because when you teach, you also learn. It’s been a long couple weeks since we talked. My new role at work has been weighting me down. It’s hard to switch gears to being a creative form being mentally engaged at work. Even though, as you’ll hear in today’s show, I haven’t been running at all I still struggle to find time to do everything I’ve signed myself up for. But we keep moving. Like the characters in my apocalypse story we find a way to survive. In section one I’m going to talk about how you can handle getting injured close to a race. In section two I’m going to talk about writing. I’ll move you into the episode with an interesting, to me, etymological side path. It has to do with sheep. I have been doing a lot of reading. I usually read 2-3 books at a time. This week I was reading two of these books and came across the same phrase in both of the books in the same day, so I figured I should look it up. The word was “Woolgathering”. You may know this as a phrase, but it’s a word. You don’t, at least I don’t, hear it much in day-to-day usage, and when you do it’s a bit quaint. It means ‘to be lost in thought. It came into English in the 1500’s when modern English was being formed. Here’s how it works. England at the time was a big wool producer. They had a lot of sheep. When the sheep wandered around and rubbed up against things tufts of wool would get stuck. So woolgathering was the process of sending someone, probably a kid, out to wander about collecting these bits of wool. Not very profitable use of time. There are a lot of wool-related phrases. “Pulling the wool over someone’s eyes” is from the same time period. It refers to the fact that judges wore wigs made of wool. When a shyster tired to trick them it was like he was pulling their wig over their eyes so they could see. Or how about form the same time period “Dyed in the wool”? Yeah that’s when you put the die into the raw wool before it’s made into cloth. It fixes the color better. So when you’re ‘dyed in the wool’ it means you have fixed something in the beginning. The word ‘wool’ itself goes way back to the original Indo-European root word Hwol. So there ya go. A bit of etymological woolgathering. On with the show.
