    Mammoth March, Marathon Mind

    Get in touch with Coach Sher! Hey Running Friends!  I recap a very rocky 20-mile Mammoth March in Hudson Valley and address how it affected marathon training.  Mammoth March: Check out all the places this hike takes place All Trails: If you do a lot of hiking, this is a great resource for different hikes you can do near you, and the paid version will let you download a hike and be able to find your way even if there is no cell service Things I used on the Hike (I earn from qualifying purchases) Saloman Speedcross 6 GTX: These are the shoes I used, they are a trail running shoe, but they were EXCELLENT for the hike.  Day Pack: Make sure your pack has adjustable waist and chest straps  Wool Hiking Socks: No cotton! These Smartwool socks feel great, no itching! Tick Prevention Spray: We sprayed this on gear and clothing before the hike Tick Remover "Key": We did not need to use this, but we carried these lightweight tick remover tools just in case!  If you are looking for a coach to help you reach your running goals, even if it's just to start to run, take a look at my Coaching Services page on the website.

    What Happens When Runners Stop Stepping Over Trash?

    Get in touch with Coach Sher! Hi Running Friends!  Today's episode is about plogging- "picking up" while "jogging". I participated in an event put on by The Boston Run Show in March with Tina Muir of "Running for Real". I started listening to Tina's podcast back in 2018, and since then she has evolved into an advocate for sustainable running and hosts plogging events around the country.  Resources from the Episode: Ooho- edible water pods Tina Muir/Running for Real - this is the link to her book "Becoming a Sustainable Runner" Nathan Reusable Running Cup - link to a reusable running cup (as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualified purchases) and here is an article by NUUN about racing in a "cupless" race Boston Run Show - Check out what we do at The Boston Run Show, and mark your calendar's for next year. I'm an ambassador and I help out at the show, so keep on the lookout when I start giving out the code for free tickets to next years show!
