Run Chat

In these times of social distancing, where group runs can't happen, RunChat is here to run with you. On today's episode, Bryan, Coach John and Billy lead you through an interval workout. You'll start with a 5 minute warm up followed by 10x 1 minute of hard running and 1 minute of active recovery. During those 1 minute segments, the guys play a new game we're calling Pardon The InterRUNption (apologies to Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon). We'll discuss a topic for one minute before the bell rings, after which you move onto your next segment and we move onto our last topic. Good luck and get running!

Welcome to RunChat's first workout episode. In this podcast, Coach John, Billy and Bryan will lead you through a 30 minute progression run while we talk about running in the era of social distancing and COVID-19. Lace up, grab your earbuds, and head out on a solo run with the hosts of RunChat keeping your company!

All it took was a global pandemic for us to make more episodes of Run Chat! How's everybody doing? Are you able to get outside for your runs? Are you sticking to at-home cardio? We want to hear from you. Whether you're running indoors, outdoors or not running at all in the wake of COVID-19, reach out to us on Facebook and Instagram and let's chat running.Coach John socially distancing himself on a run around the track.

Billy, John and Bryan try to beat the summer heat and talk the latest in running. Are you training for a fall marathon? Listen up for some tips!

Welcome to Season 4 of Run Chat! Or is it season 3? Either way, we're back. John, Billy and Bryan give updates on their running lives and prepare for the upcoming fall marathon training season. Are you running a marathon this fall? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

Looking for something outside of the NYRR, NYC Runs, and GLIRC circuits? John, Bryan and Billy discuss rogue races on the latest episode of Run Chat, unsanctioned races that may fail to bring the proper permits but definitely bring the competition.

With only one shopping day left to Christmas, have you bought gifts for all the runners on your list? If not, just make sure you avoid these, the worst gifts for runners!

We're talking Chicago. We're talking New York. We're talking Philly. We're talking virtual races, both paid and free. It's a pretty cool episode, y'all. We pretty much think you might pretty much enjoy it.

Coach John warms us up with stories from the Paris Marathon, then we get up to tempo pace with a look at this weekend's Brooklyn Half Marathon (including a can't-miss race preview with some hot tips on how to score that PR). We delve into half marathon training in general and how we felt entering our respective first half marathon, so many years ago...Good luck to everyone running Brooklyn this weekend! Bryan will be volunteering at T-shirt pickup on Wednesday night from 5-10pm, come say hi! And look for the November Project cheer station just after Mile 11, then meet us after the race at Steeplechase Beer Garden in Coney Island!

After a long winter on the dreadmill/shredmill, we're back! And we're chatting about what we've been up to lately, meaning races -- from the NYC Half to the Paris Marathon to the Red Hook Crit, and #raceeverything in between.(photos by Pete Thompson/Red Hook Crit 5k [above] and Tornanti.cc/Red Hook Crit 5k [right])

Treadmills. Do you love them? Barely tolerate them? Hell to the no, never, ever run on them?Okay, show of hands. Who loves treadmills?Coach John, Bryan and Billy debate the pros and cons of the runner's version of the hamster wheel on the new episode of Run Chat.

GOALS! We all have them. Maybe it's to run your fastest 5K. Maybe it's to record your running podcast more often. Maybe it's to listen to the latest episode of Run Chat. BOOM. Time to check that last one off your list. 

The temperatures are getting lower, but don't let your spirits follow -- the winter can still be a great season for running. Bryan and John are back to tell you how to dress for cold and snowy weather, what to watch out for, and how to approach your training to be at your best when all those springtime races come around. So whether you're waking up the sun by yourself [left] or pulling together with some friends to keep each other accountable [like those superstars in the picture below], we've got you covered.AND, it's not too late to treat that special runner on your list to a great gift, so we've got some thoughts on last-minute gifts you could look for. [Hint: so many socks!]
