    Episode 22 – Race Director David Babner Talks about the Effects of COVID-19 on Racing

    I first met David Babner back when WALK! Magazine was new. He and John Bingham had just started the Capital City Classic half marathon, and we met to discuss promotion ideas. At the 2020 First on the First, David poses for photos with race participant Nancy Palma. A lot of years have passed and now, through M3S Racing, David is race director of the Capital City Half Marathon, Emerald City Half Marathon, First on the First 5K, the Fifth Line, and the OSU 4 Miler among others. It’s been a long time coming, but I finally had the opportunity to interview him. The main focus was COVID-19 and its effect on races and racing companies. In this episode we also discuss: * His history as a race director and the start of M3S Sports* How race directors across the state came together to discuss ways to handle the crisis* Converting in-person races to virtual races* Virtual race finish lines and after-race parties* And the future of racing This episode was recorded prior to the virtual Capital City and Emerald City half marathons, so some of our conversation covers events that have since happened. My medal from the inaugural Capital City Classic half marathon. Thanks to Deb Chenault for joining me on this episode and to Nancy Palma for allowing me to use the First on the First photo. (173)

    Episode 20 Podcast: Flying Pig Weekend Race Recap – 6 Things Learned

    In episode 20 of the WALK Magazine Podcast, my friend Deb and I talk about the Skyline Chili 3-Way with Extra Cheese Challenge that was part of the Flying Pig Marathon weekend in early May. The 3-Way Challenge is a 3-race series that ends with the Flying Pig Half Marathon. The Extra Cheese adds a 1-mile race on Friday night of race weekend. (The 4-Way Challenge finishes with the full marathon instead of the half.) Cincinnati is a great city and the Flying Pig is one of my favorite half marathons. It’s a pretty race with fantastic crowd support. Plus the swag – a nice backpack, five shirts, six race medals… In the rain at the Little Kings 1-mile race Friday night of race weekend. From left to right: me, Deb, Laura and Laura’s niece. We also talk a little about the Run for Home Challenge – a 10K and half marathon we walked in April in preparation for the Flying Pig. We both agreed we probably should have trained differently for these events. Here are six tips for training for and finishing multiple races back-to-back: * I didn’t train hard enough. If you typically do long days of 10-12 miles for a half marathon, I’d recommend going farther.* Practice back-to-back long distances over a weekend at least once.* If you are staying in a hotel, try to find a location close to the starting lines, especially if the races are in a big city.* Bring more than one pair of shoes in case of bad weather.* It’s OK to take a nap after any of the races. If you need a special pillow, bring it with you.* Finally, take it easy and enjoy the races. There is no need to go all out for the first one, then have nothing left for the last race.

    Episode 19 Podcast – Dressing for Walking in the Winter

    In this episode of the WALK Magazine Podcast, I talk with Larry Smith about how to dress for walking in winter. Larry is not only a walking visionary (he started an urban walking club in German Village) and a very fast walker, but he is also one of those hardcore athletes who is outside regardless of the weather. (Except for ice and lightning.) So Larry was the perfect person to talk to about dressing for the winter weather. And because this winter in Central Ohio has been weird and not as cold as typical – yet – it’s not too late to post this information in February.

    Episode 18 Podcast – Two Halves, One Week – Air Force and Run with the Amish

    In Episode 18 of the WALK Magazine Podcast, my friend Deb and I talk about doing two half marathons in one week – again. This year was the 20th anniversary of the Air Force Marathon. Because this is the only marathon I have ever entered, it’s special to me and I wanted to be there for the celebration even if I don’t do full marathons anymore. The Adams County Run with the Amish Half Marathon was so fun last year, we wanted to do it again the next week. (Plus we heard a rumor the race would not be held in 2017, so this might be our last chance.) Not only are the medals and finisher awards unique, but this race also gives equal prizes to fast walkers. I seriously wanted to win one of the great walker prizes. In this episode we discuss the races, how we trained, how the weather affected our training and the race days, and how this year’s races were so different from last year’s races. (250)

    Podcast 16 – Bountiful Gifts Walkers Only Half Marathon

    June 4 was the inaugural Bountiful Gifts Half Marathon in Massillon, Ohio. This walker-only race also features a 5K and 10K. The night before this year’s race, I had dinner with race director Jackie Prosise and interviewed her for this episode. It was great hearing how she came up with the idea, her planning and how the funds raised will be used to help the community. In the second half of the podcast I give my recap of the half marathon from the view of a participant. In this episode: * What is Bountiful Gifts?* Sponsors and why there are no logos on the back of the shirt.* Dave McGovern gave a walking clinic earlier this year to help people prepare.* Judges on the course will prevent sloggers or shufflers.* How many are registered? How big will it get?* The after-race food.* Why the start time?* What the colors on the medal mean.* The course.* Time limits and predicted winner finish times. I talk about: * The start.* Fast walkers.* The course.* The weather.* Water stops.* Not following my race plan.* My finish time. Don’t forget you can listen to episodes of the WALK Magazine Podcast either here or on Apple Podcasts. (190)

    Episode 15 – Half Marathons: Air Force & Run with the Amish

    Maybe I should title this episode The Missing Files. Or maybe A Couple of Nice Races. (We use the word nice a lot!) Last fall I recorded a race recap of both the Air Force Half Marathon and the Adams County Half Marathon Run with the Amish with my friend Deb. Since then I somehow forgot about the recording and never posted the podcast. That said, registration for both of the 2016 races is now open, and if you are looking for a good (nice) September race, listen to the podcast. Here’s what’s in this episode: Air Force Half Marathon — Dayton, OH — Wright Patterson Air Force Base usafmarathon.com * Pasta dinner — usually good, this year not so much * Start of the race * Mile 8 * Other race participants * Rain * The finish line * After race food * The best hotel Adams County Half Marathon Run with the Amish — County, OH runwiththeamish.com/ * The huge goody bag * Dinner with the Amish * Hilly — understatement, it is HILLY * Beautiful course * Amish children * Cars on the course * Mile markers — handmade baskets * Medals are handmade baskets * Walking division with awards — handmade baskets (151)
