Run Eat Drink Podcast

Welcome to the Run Eat Drink Podcast!  This is the podcast where we embark on exciting adventures, combining our love for running, delicious food, and tasty beverages. Whether you’re an elite runner aiming for victory or just starting your “Couch to 5K” journey, we’ve got something for you. Let’s dive into the three pillars of our show:Accomplish (Run): Accomplishment is deeply personal. Are you eyeing a race series win, planning your next “run-cation,” or hoping to set a personal record in your next half-marathon? Each week, we feature fantastic destination races from around the country. Discover scenic courses, learn about the charities they support, and get inspired to lace up those running shoes. And when we’re not on the road, we share interviews, training tips, and insights from our own running journey. Explore (Eat): Running and traveling go hand in hand. As we explore new places, we also explore local cuisine. We seek out hidden gems—the eateries that locals rave about. Bold flavors, interesting dishes, and passion for food—that’s what we’re after. After each race, join us as we wander the city streets, discovering post-race refueling spots. Whether it’s a gastropub, a food truck, or a cozy café, we’ve got dining options to satisfy your cravings. Indulge (Drink): When the running is done, it’s time to unwind. We raise our glasses to celebrate our accomplishments. Local breweries, coffee shops, speakeasies, and watering holes—these are our destinations. From craft beers to artisanal cocktails, we explore the beverage scene. Cheers to a well-deserved drink after crossing the finish line! Join us on this journey of accomplishment, exploration, and indulgence. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a curious foodie, there’s a place for you at the Run Eat Drink Podcast.

    Send us a text RED Episode 320 SHOUTOUTS  Thanks to Alison Bourey who shared her story with us of a struggle turned into triumph.  Here is the link to the story of the students and faculty who saved her: irstalert4.com/2025/11/03/parkway-north-teachers-revive-woman-who-collapsed-while-running-high-school-track/. Thanks to Dawn Broussard who shared:  “There are definitely lots of days that I don’t want to get out there so I just say I’ll give it 10 minutes and most of the time it’s enough time to start wanting to move more. Now eating junk is another story.  I’m not sure I can ever give up my sweets and snacks. Springtime Surprise in 2024 was so difficult.  I didn’t want to leave the hotel room after I found out my sister had died, but my family didn’t want me to give up on things I enjoy doing and now usually do all my miles with those who can’t in mind.”  If you want a shout out for you or someone else you love on the show,  email us at info@runeatdrink.net or call us and leave a message at 941-677-2733 RUN, EAT, AND DRINK with Founder of Atlas, James Oliver We recently tried Atlas Bars for the first time and these are a clean source of great protein for us as we train.  They are also delicious!  We love the Salted Peanut Butter the most!  We were lucky enough to sit down with founder of Atlas, James Oliver, and he told us all about starting Atlas, his inspiration, his challenges, and all about the bars themselves.

    RED Episode 313 Heart to Finish: Jeff Galloway's Journey Through Eight Decades of Marathons

    Send us a text RUN, EAT, DRINK, and Celebrate Jeff Galloway’s 80th birthday with us! Jeff Galloway, famously known as "America's Coach" and Olympic athlete, is about to achieve something remarkable that no one else has done before – running marathons across eight decades of life. Now approaching his 80th birthday, Jeff shares his journey toward completing this historic milestone at the Honolulu Marathon this December. Behind this extraordinary achievement lies a deeply personal story of resilience. Jeff candidly discusses his recovery from heart failure and a heart attack, revealing how he adapted his renowned Run-Walk-Run method to accommodate his new cardiac reality. Starting with just three seconds of running at a time post-heart attack, he's now able to complete 13-mile training runs by carefully balancing short running segments with strategic walking breaks. His approach isn't just about survival – it's about thriving within new limitations while maintaining the mental benefits that made him fall in love with running decades ago. The Honolulu Marathon holds profound significance for Jeff beyond just being his eighth-decade marathon attempt. It's where he proposed to his wife Barbara nearly 50 years ago, where he stationed during his Navy service, and where he achieved one of his most memorable victories in 1974, defeating Olympic medalists Frank Shorter and Kenny Moore. Now, he's returning with a different goal – simply crossing the finish line while potentially setting a world record. Throughout our conversation, Jeff shares fascinating insights about running's evolutionary importance, explaining how movement shaped human brain development and continues to activate neural circuits that improve our attitude, energy levels, and problem-solving abilities. "Running is what enabled our species to survive," he explains. "When we run, we grow more brain cells and activate the parts of the brain that give us a better attitude, more energy, and the ability to overcome challenges." For those inspired by Jeff's journey, he's created an opportunity to join him in Hawaii through a special travel package that includes accommodations, pre and post-race celebrations, and his personal coaching. Whether you're a seasoned marathoner or curious beginner, Jeff's story reminds us all that the true power of running lies not in speed or distance, but in "staying in the game" through every decade of life.

Pirate 1M, 5K, 10K, 15K, & Half Marathon is also available on April 26, 2025, for our local Runcation Nation crew! https://runsignup.com/Race/FL/Naples/NorthCollier42625  EAT It is almost time for Stone Crab season to come to an end.  So, we reached out to our friends at @just.take,a.dip for a Florida hidden gem we may not have known about, and voila…  The Dock at Crayton Cove in Naples a mere 15 minutes from the 5K.    Crab can be rubbery and tough to crack, or it can be a seamless experience…. And this was a seamless experience.  Shout out to Kelly, who took care of me so well, and her recommendations were spot-on in every section of the menu.
