[4:00] We chose to go with the Air National Guard so that we can serve our community and go to school. [4:26] I found out that it really provided so much experience, education, camaraderie and community that I ended up falling in love with it and staying in. [4:45] In the last 19 years, I've had seven different positions and I just keep challenging and growing myself through those experiences. [5:01] What we do is we serve in the community that we live in where we do domestic operations and we have a federal mission as well. [6:10] Even though I work part time, technically, I wear that uniform inside my heart, mind and life and is very deep rooted in our core values. [8:08] As a servant leader, an airman, as a leader, I have to consistently hold on to the call to serve others before self. [8:37] I met my husband eight years ago and as a military spouse, I had to resign my fulltime active duty position, go part time and serve right with [9:47] The biggest thing when I think about my service and how it connects to me, being an entrepreneur is really just learning to trust myself, and reach outside my comfort zone. [11:25] My experience enables me to help my clients face difficult situations and really owning the trust of their experience and [12:18] Many a times we have to drown out those negative noises and really stay true to our passion, drive and our values. [14:08] Commercial Break. [14:55] Both of my businesses have a foundation of emotional intelligence and personal growth. [16:04] I think in order for us to show up in life, relationship and connect with other human beings, we have to be totally good with ourselves first. [16:15] My career has evolved so much over time, because the more I help mostly women, the more I learn how complicated human being we are. [16:52] What I found is that many times if people want to lose weight, it's much deeper than that and so I focus on everything about emotional intelligence and the human connection. [17:10] We just launched the cruise beyond limits and my husband is handling all the men's personal training. [17:52] I also found that the power of stretch, recovery, and Yoga has to be a really great part of our cross training and so I actually just brought on an affiliate cruise coach who is a yoga instructor. [18:16] My second business is inclusion culture where I have three other business partners doing consulting work on inclusion and diversity for four years now. [20:13] When COVID happened, we had to pivot really quickly to zoom and really learn how to facilitate group training over zoom. [20:43] We also have a foundation of emotional intelligence where we help leaders and companies discover within themselves so that they can make deeper connections and understand themselves. [21:07] With the new ways of working, people are getting comfortable at home and it's a whole other dynamic of what humans go through and grow through. [22:22] Our goal is really to drive that connection, not only with themselves, but with others, regardless of the situation. [22:45] Take each day as it comes and everyday as a blessing so live each day just your true potential and reach outside your comfort zone to see what's possible. [23:54] Sometimes we don't have to have all the answers or always be perfect, we just have to be willing to try. [24:16] …………………………………….

Moran is a soft-spoken, humble guy with an ultra-long endurance race résumé, including winning the Air Force Marathon, finishing fourth at the Leadville 100M, and earning a Western States golden ticket entry with a 2nd place finish at the Black Canyons 100K. Moran is quietly one of the Midwest's most accomplished endurance runners with over a dozen top ten finishes.

As a wife and mother of four young children, Sarah Bishop understands how overwhelming daily responsibilites can be, and the importance of having an outlet to channel her incredible energy. For her, training goals not only improved her life in many ways but also led to her to winning marathons, half-marathons, 70.3 IRONMAN, and qualifying for the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials. When runners get injured we often hear that we should cross train to maintain fitness. Sarah Bishop, an Olympic Trials qualifier in the marathon, took it to the extreme. After racing nearly every weekend in the fall she was sidelined with leg injuries. True to her personality, she dove into cross training with both feet. Not long after, she signed up for her first triathlon - IRONMAN Chattanooga 70.3. Sarah proceeded to finish second overall and earn her pro card. In this episode we talk about how somebody with little to no biking and swimming experience achieved such a remarkable result and how that will impact her training for the Trials. Recent highlights: - 2019 IRONMAN Ohio 70.3 – 1st - 2019 IRONMAN Chattanooga 70.3 – 2nd Amateur - 2018 Air Force Marathon – 1st - 2017 Marine Corps Marathon – 1st This episode is sponsored by AfterShokz, the award-winning headphone brand, best known for its open-ear listening experience.

In this podcast episode Angie recaps the Red Rock Canyon Marathon in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she decided to see how fast she can walk a marathon. It got interesting! Plus you will hear how to improve your walking speed and use it effectively in marathon training.Race Recap: The Red Rock Canyon Marathon The Red Rock Canyon Marathon in Las Vegas, Nevada, is put on by Calico Racing. The 12th edition of the race was held on Feb 23, 2019. Joyce, the race director, said that putting on the race this year was very challenging because the government shutdown made it uncertain whether they would have to find a different location to hold the event. Then two days before the marathon the Las Vegas area had a snowstorm and the course had to be rerouted due to bad road conditions. Pre Race: The marathon was located in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area which has more than 179,000 acres and is absolutely beautiful with red sandstone formations, sheer 1,800-ft. cliffs, and several mountains.Race Morning: The park, which sees more than a million visitors each year, is federally designated as a Backcountry Scenic Byway. The 13 mile paved scenic drive traverses some of the Mojave Desert’s most stunning scenery with sandstone formations, desert vegetation, and wildlife. It was dark and around 20 degrees when we were bused to the start and it slowly started getting light as we waited for the race to begin. It was lovely to see the sun rise over the mountains but I was very unsure about my race strategy due to the cold. Fortunately there were some indoor bathrooms to assist with staying warm in addition to the portable toilets offered by the race. By the time the race started at 6:15 am my toes and fingers were numb. The half marathon started at 7am and the 5k race after that. The course was modified because of the snow so it consisted of 4 laps of 5.77 miles and one shorter lap. Each lap started by the Visitor’s Center and had approximately 3 miles of uphill climbing and 2.77 miles downhill per lap. Some of the uphill sections had a 10% grade and total elevation gain for the marathon was around 3,000 feet. The marathon had a 7 hour cut off and the half marathon had a generous 6:15 cut off time.Course: The course was paved throughout the entire race and a section of the road was coned off for runners so that car traffic could continue through the park. This meant that there was often two way traffic of runners in the coned off area but it seemed like people navigated it well. Doing repeated laps isn’t usually the most fun but it was actually nice to see the same people again and again to create a sense of community. The spectators and runners who’d already finished cheered you on when you passed the start/finish line multiple times. Another redeeming factor was the beautiful blue skies, sunshine, seeing the snow on the ground, the majestic mountains and rock formations, and the overall stunning scenery. In short, it was my kind of race! The fresh air was very invigorating and it did warm up to the mid-40’s by noon. We passed by the same aid stations multiple times and they were staffed by friendly and encouraging volunteers. There was a bag drop at the starting line and because of the looped course those were available to people. Many runners added and shed layers as the temperatures changed. I used Generation UCAN snack bars for fuel (1 bar 30 minutes before the marathon and then ½ a bar every 5 miles). My energy levels were solid throughout and my stomach felt good. Use the code MTAREDROCK to save 15% on your order. Aid Stations: The male winner was Aaron Gall and he finished with a time of 3:23:35. The female winner was Tatyana Steis and she finished in 3:35:58. The average finish time for the marathon was 5:11:32 and there were a total of 95 marathon finishers, 288 half marathoners and 170 who did the 5k.Finish: They had a nice food table at the finish line with ramen noodles, applesauce, yogurt, pudding, granola bars, chips, water, and sports drink. As I made loops by the finish line earlier in the day I semi panicked because I didn’t see any food (and I’m always hungry after a marathon). The race also gave out a nice big medal and a tasteful technical shirt. I met up with a former coaching client named Mark from CA before the race and also saw him out on the course and after the race. Another MTA listener Teri was running the half marathon and I saw her out on a couple of the loops. Another fun surprise was when MTA fan Bobby from NY said hi to me out on the course. He was in the area and spectated a bit of the race. photo credit: Mark GoddardMy Experience/Strategy: Like I mentioned earlier I felt very nervous and conflicted about my plan to walk the entire marathon. Part of that hesitation was wondering if I’d be warm enough and the other part was probably a bit of pride because I didn’t want to look like a dork. So I decided to start off walking and see how it went. I was surprised that it actually took quite a bit of concentration to walk the whole way, especially on the downhills. I decided to adhere to the rules of race walking where you have to have one foot in contact with the ground at all times and the front/leading leg straight on impact. Race walking requires a bit more hip and arm action to keep power and momentum. A lot of people out on the race course made comments on how fast I was walking, and of course I felt compelled to explain my walking experiment. I managed to speed walk the entire time, felt strong and often passed people on the up hills (and then they’d usually pass me on the downhills). By the end of the marathon my legs felt a bit stiff from the straighter form required for walking and the tops of my ankles and feet were sore, but I felt fairly good overall. I got a lot of remarks about my walking speed and I imagined that people were laughing behind my back about me walking down hills. My finish time 5:31:21 for an average pace of 12:40 per mile which was faster than I predicted due to the hilly course. My fastest mile was 11:38 and slowest mile was 13:58 (probably the one with the bathroom stop). My overall place was 57/95. This was my 44th state and 56th marathon. It’s so important to remember that running and walking pace is all relative. A marathon is always a huge accomplishment, no matter how much time it takes you to finish or the percentage of running or walking you do. I got this email a couple days after the marathon: “Congratulations to everyone who came out to tackle the hardest and coldest Red Rock Canyon Marathon in our 12 year history.  I SO appreciate all of your cooperation with the forced last minute changes to the course.” Joyce (race director) How to become a faster walker We’ve never really talked specifically about walking as part of marathon training. We often refer in passing to doing run/walk intervals and in many of the marathons I’ve done there has been some walking, sometimes planned but often unplanned. When Walking is Advantageous I’m sure many of us have had the disheartening experience of a marathon gone wrong where were ended up doing extended periods of walking. A couple such times stand out in my mind. The first one was my 3rd marathon, the Little Rock Marathon, which I did back in 2011, five months after having our third child. My endurance and core strength was certainly not up to par yet and the hilly course and warm weather conditions didn’t help matters. I managed to run for the first half and then ended up walking the entire second half. It felt like the longest slog ever. When Circumstances Force You to Walk During a Marathon Another marathon that stands out was my 32nd at the Lincoln Marathon which was unseasonably hot for May. Toward the later miles of the race I began walking more and more and it started feeling like a death march. There have been many other marathons where I planned to walk certain intervals, like through aid stations or up hills, and this didn’t have the same demoralizing effect. Sometimes I would look forward to seeing a hill because I’d given myself permission to walk. I also think that doing specific run/walk intervals are a very smart race strategy for many people. You might see individuals during a race that have a timer go off as a signal for them to start their next interval. I’ve often had run/walkers pass me during marathons or we would leap frog each other during the event. When I did the Air Force Marathon in OH I remember Jeff Galloway (probably the biggest promoter of the run/walk/run method) blaze by me on the course. Let me tell you, his walking intervals were not a stroll in the park. Working in planned run/walk intervals can be a good way to pace yourself and extend your energy levels more evenly during the race. We interviewed Jeff Galloway back on episode 138.Run/Walk Intervals Other ways that walking can be used in your training is during the warm up and cool down sections of your run. Walking for 5-10 minutes as a warm up and cool down is a very effective way to get your body safely ready to run and then to return it to homeostasis. Some runners walk between speed intervals at the track. And it’s entirely normal to walk tough hills, especially if you’re trying to keep your heart rate in a certain zone. My rule for hills is if I can walk the hill faster than I can run it I default to walking. Warm Ups and Cool Downs Another way that walking can be used is if you’re dealing with a niggle, injury, or illness. It’s a great way to still get some healthy activity in without setting your body back. Occasionally there will be run days when I just feel super worn down and know that running will only exacerbate that feeling. I often switch my running mileage over to walking and usually feel much better the next day.If You Are Dealing with InjuryHealth Benefits of Walking The health benefits of walking are indisputable and it’s something that is accessible to nearly every person. Walking is often the gateway into running for many people. I was recently doing continuing education to renew my nursing license and did a course educating healthcare professionals on exercise. Check out these stats on the amount of Americans who don’t get the minimum recommended amount of physical activity. First off, here’s what is considered the minimum amount of exercise: “People are classified as meeting aerobic exercise recommendations if they report engaging in moderate-intensity activity (like walking) at least 150 minutes per week, vigorous-intensity activity at least 75 minutes per week, or an equivalent combination of the two. Ideally, aerobic activities should be spread throughout the week and performed in at least 10 minute sessions. The muscle-strengthening recommendation consists of two days per week of moderate- or high-intensity exercise involving all major muscle groups.” (5) We all know that obesity is an epidemic in the United States. Estimates show that nearly 70% of the adult U.S. population 20 years of age and older are either overweight (33.3%) or obese (36.4%). One of the contributing factors in the obesity epidemic is the fact that few people engage in leisure-time physical activity. According to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Approximately one-half of U.S. adults do not perform the minimum amount of exercise needed to prevent diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. One in four adults do not perform any exercise at all. About 80% of adults do not perform the minimum amount of aerobic exercise combined with the minimum amount of muscle strengthening exercise recommended in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Numerous reasons for failure to exercise exist, including lack of interest, competing demands for limited leisure time, fear of injury or pain, no access to facilities, and lack of knowledge of proper technique. Often when people say that they “can’t” run (which of course is debatable) I encourage them to start a habit of walking or another activity that they enjoy. It’s all about finding a healthy activity that you will stick with. I always find it inspiring that there are many older people in our neighborhood who are out walking every day, rain or shine.The Sport of Race Walking At the other end of the spectrum from walking for exercise is the sport of race walking. Race walking is practiced from youth track and field all the way up to the Olympic level in a variety of distances and on the road and track. It’s a sport that most people don’t know or think about. I think the first time it came on my radar was when I did my USATF coaching class and there was a woman in the group who had competed in race walking for the Phillipines. She was able to walk a 7:30 mile. That certainly puts my 11:30-12:30 pace into perspective. Many of the world class race walkers do sub-6:00 minute miles. Some of the benefits of race walking are that it produces less impact on the body and requires solid endurance even though is a technically demanding sport. According to the USATF website: “Race walking differs from running in that it requires the competitor to maintain contact with the ground at all times and requires the leading leg to be straightened as the foot makes contact with the ground. It must remain straightened until the leg passes under the body. Judges evaluate the technique of race walkers and report fouls which may lead to disqualification. All judging is done by the eye of the judge and no outside technology is used in making judging decisions.” (2)Benefits of Race Walking Race walking dates back to about 400 years ago in England and it didn’t take long to become a very popular sport around the world. By the 19th century race walking was just as popular as horse racing and spectators often bet on the race outcomes, especially since racers would suffer through races that would last for several days. The typical races at that time would consist of racers trying to walk 100 miles in less than 24 hours. Other races would last more than 40 days, where the racers would try to walk one mile each hour. It did not take long afterward for race walking to become a part of the Olympics (1). History of Race Walking It’s seriously impressive when you look at the paces that these top level race walkers can do (often sub-6:00 min/mile). Check out some of these American race walking records (2): Female: 5k= 21:51 (7:02), 10k= 44:09 (7:06), 20k= 1:30:49 (7:18), 40k= 3:27:10 (8:20) Men: 5k= 19:09 (6:09), 10k= 39:22 (6:20), 20k= 1:22:02 (6:36), 40k= 3:02:18 (7:20) Technique: Race walking requires more of a hip swing than running. But similar to running you want to avoid over-striding which will produce a braking motion. Proper use of the arms is one key to mastering the hip motion because synchronizing arm and hip motion maximizes efficiency and speed. Posture- Your body should be straight up and down throughout the entire stride, unlike with running where you want a forward lean starting from the ankles. In race walking bending reduces the ability to extend the hip and accelerate the stride. Arms- Each arm should travel from a couple of inches behind the hip to just above the chest line. The primary power for arm movement is done by driving the shoulder on the backwards swing of your arm. But you don’t want to generate power by wildly pumping your arm backward or thrusting it forward.  Use the shoulder as a fulcrum so that the arms swing like a pendulum. Hips- The hips are the body’s primary source of forward motion. When the hips are rotated forward, the swinging leg is pulled off the ground. As you repeatedly pivot the hips forward, they act as the body’s motor, propelling it forward one step at a time and increasing the stride length behind the body. Swing Leg- To remain efficient, race walkers must pay careful attention to how their legs swing forward after push-off. Race walkers swing the legs forward with the knee as low to the ground as possible. While some upward motion is necessary to break contact with the ground, it should be minimized. For the greatest efficiency of motion when the rear foot lifts up, it rises only an inch or two off the ground. Even if you’re not planning on giving up running and turning into a race walker there are good reasons to improve your walking efficiency. Many runners use a run/walk method to pace their marathons and having good speed and efficiency during the walking intervals will help to rest your running muscles and give you a better overall pace. During ultramarathons, particularly on trails, there is a good amount of walking/hiking that goes on. Some ultramarathoners learn speed walking techniques to help improve their ultra times by getting the most out of their walking sections. Plus, becoming a faster walker will give you a more purposeful look as you walk to work or while out doing errands.

Here is the extremely entertaining bio from , Dr. Mark Cucuzzella (written by ) "In the beginning there was darkness, and runners seemed lost, confused, chronically injured, always experimenting with “bigger is better” footwear as a potential remedy. Then a new “less is more” approach emerged, a radical way of thinking led by a handful of scientists, athletes, coaches, and charismatic best-selling author. They looked backward to the past for inspiration. Soon, a healer and educator came forth. Collectively, they would become the shepherds to a flock of broken-down, often-sidelined runners accustomed to wearing conventional running shoes. As it were, this health-conscious individual lived in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, the oldest town in the state and just up the road (and river) from Harpers Ferry. His name is Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, a family physician and an elite runner, who, in his early 40s, can still reel off sub 2:40s at the Boston Marathon. Mark had a singular vision regarding the need to spread the gospel of natural and minimalist running to the masses. In early summer 2010, he opened the first minimalist running store in the nation. He called it Two Rivers Treads because culturally and historically vibrant Shepherdstown is located near the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. Mark and his tiny store became a fixture in the natural running community. Coaches, athletes, trainers, physical therapists, bloggers, and runners from near and far became connected to one another through Two Rivers Treads..." As a professor of family medicine at West Virginia University, Lt Col in the US Air Force Reserves, and Chief Medical Consultant for the Air Force Marathon, Dr. Mark describes popular run training, eating and recovery methods as "mind-draining dogma and reckless bias", and is trying to spark a new “re-evolution” in running. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The #1 blood marker to track if you want to make sure you're not one of those "healthy on the outside, dying on the inside" exercise enthusiast... -How to effectively transition from built-up footwear to a minimalist running shoe approach... -The most cutting-edge technology that currently exists to analyze your symmetries and gait patterns during and after running... -Why Dr. Mark finishes every workout with what he calls an "alactic sprint"... -Why you must earn the right to do intervals and sprints... -Dr. Mark's personal method of tapering for a marathon, and why one of the top weapons in his running arsenal is a hot tub... -Why Mark doesn't use Pose method, Chi method, or other popular running methods... -And much more!

Dr. Mark Cucuzzella is an accomplished marathon runner. He is also an Associate Professor at West Virginia University, a family physician, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserves, the Chief Medical Consultant for the Air Force Marathon, and the owner of Two Rivers Treads, the nation’s first minimalist shoe store which is located in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. We cover a lot of ground with Mark as he discusses:

What do you do when you experience significant injury after injury, so much so that surgery no longer helps and most doctors tell you it's time to hang up the running shoes? You hang up your shoes and try natural running, of course. In 2000, Dr. Mark Cucuzzella did just that. After suffering for years from arthritis in his toes, Mark was told by his doctors to stop his running. However, Mark couldn't give up on his passion, so he began to research and scientifically explore how natural running shoes could help save his career. What Dr. Mark found was nothing short of remarkable. By running barefoot and in natural running shoes he was able to run pain-free and injury-free for the first time in years. In this podcast, we interview Dr. Mark Cucuzzella and find out exactly what he did, why it worked, and how you can do the same. Dr. Cucuzzella is widely considered to be one of the leading experts on how and why to incorporate and transition to minimalist running. Mark is a Professor of Family Medicine at West Virginia University School of Medicine. His marathon best is 2:24 and has run under 2:40 for a marathon 24 of the last 25 years, with 22 of these years being run under 2:35. He won the 2011 Air Force Marathon in 2:38, a week shy of his 45th birthday. He attributes much of this longevity to good running form and minimalist principles. And that's what he's here to teach you today. If you've been thinking about how, or if you should, transition to natural running shoes, you've got to listen to this interview.
