    My Favorite Running Books!

    My Favorite Running Books!

    #275 - Besides running, I love to read. I know many of you do too! This week, I share eight of my favorite books on running and what makes them so precious to me. Some of the authors have been guests on my show while others are talked about for the first time. I hope you enjoy them. Please let me know if you've read any of them and if I should have included any I left off. All links can be found on the show website. 

    Stick around after the book wrap up as I have a couple ending thoughts I want to share with you.

    What Is Your WHY???

    What Is Your WHY???

    #274 - Do you have a reason why you run? Do you have Something that gets you out on your runs and keeps you out, especially on those really tough training runs? Sooner or later, those reasons will be tested. That's why, this week, I thought I would explore our WHY for running. Why do we do what we do? Why do we spend so much time running, thinking about running, recovering from running, preparing for running? Our reasons our WHY may change over our running years from when we started but it's a good time to ask ourselves if our reasons for running are enough to keep us going.

    PTSD in Running

    PTSD in Running

    #273 - Running is an active sport and as an active sport, things can happen while you're running. If you've ever had a serious accident while running or had another unfortunate circumstance, you may have suffered from PTSD, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. This week, I talk about how DTSD relates to running and how you can take steps to help find your way through. This is such a huge and terrible disorder, that I'm focusing on runners here in particular to keep the focus on the theme of my show, but I do know that is in a subject that needs much more research and resources. If you need help or want to understand more about PTSD, I provide links on the show website. There is help and you are not alone.

    Run Through with Steven

    #271 - Steven or known in his book as JB Stone, just published Run Through, My Journey Through Moments of Flight. It was such a pleasure to have him on the show, talking about his love of running, some of his more uncomfortable moments in running and some of his prouder moments. I love the personal history he shares in his book and I know you will too! The Amazon link to purchase his book is on the show website!
