Creatine is now one of the most hyped supplements with promises of faster recovery, leaner muscle gain, and even increased strength and power. But should distance runners consider adding it to their routine? Is it worth the benefits while considering its drawbacks. Brady Holmer is a physiologist, 2:24 marathoner, and author of the Physiologically Speaking and Run Long, Run Healthy newsletters (the latter was previously authored by legend Amby Burfoot). He joins us to discuss: What is creatine and what it does Its benefits (and caveats with those benefits) Potential drawbacks Timing and dosing of creatine Whether it's ultimately worth it for endurance runners You can also follow Brady on X for commentary, new science, and humor. Thank you 2XU! If you haven't tried 2XU technical compression gear, you're missing out. 2XU has been the world leader in performance compression for 20 years, helping runners feel better and recover faster with compression gear that's backed by scientific evidence. Their graduated compression gear is engineered to improve blood flow and performance while speeding recovery. My personal favorites include the Light Speed React half-tights (with tons of pockets for your phone and fuel!) as well as their Ignition Shield tights (for colder weather). Knowing that their gear is engineered for runners by runners and backed by research makes me absolutely love 2XU.

Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

A conversation with running legend Amby Burfoot. Amby Burfoot stands as a titan in the running world. Crowned the Boston Marathon champion in 1968, he became the first collegian to win this prestigious event and the first American to claim the title since John Kelley in 1957.As well as a stellar racing career of over 62 years, Amby channeled his passion for running into journalism. He joined Runner's World magazine in 1978, rising to the position of Editor-in-Chief and then serving as its Editor-at-Large.As well as being the author of several books on running, he regularly contributes articles to major publications, and curates his weekly Run Long, Run Healthy Newsletter. We talk about his origin story and the early relationships he cultivated with other notable runners like John J. Kelly the younger, and Bill Rogers.We discuss the recent performances and new world records coming from the professional marathon field and Amby gives his perspectives on what's driving the performance, and he discusses his skepticism with the authenticity of some of the recent performance given the possibility and prevalence of performance enhancement substances.We talk about the heightened popularity of running and Amby gives his advice to runners looking to perform, enjoy the sport recreationally, enhance general health and increase longevity in the sport.About Amby Burfoot on Marathon Handbook: https://marathonhandbook.com/author/amby/ Amby Burfoot's Run Long, Run Healthy Newsletter: https://marathonhandbook.com/run-long-run-healthy-newsletter/Amby's Books on Running: https://www.ambyburfoot.com/p/buy-autographed-book.htmlFollow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvTwitter: https://twitter.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTv

On today's Spotlight, we ask why runners are racing faster than ever? The same could also be said of cyclists, and we use an intriguing article by Amby Burfoot to explore and discuss the possible contributors, ranging from super shoes to the "Bannister effect". It leads us back to ground we've covered before (shoe tech, carbs), some areas we have yet to cover in detail (bicarbonate), and down some dark alleys that may contain the future (and possibly present) of doping methods.We also talk about technology in sport, and about which sports have seen the biggest, fastest leaps as a result of innovation, taking a quick tour of some other devices that have 'recalibrated' sporting performances and human limits.Finally, we discuss some of the science and performances in the Zwift Academy 2025, the latest iteration of a competition to identify and recruit aspirant cyclists into two professional cycling teams. We explore the tests used on the show, their value, and how hugely confounded the talent prediction is, even in a sport as measurable as cycling.Show notesAs mentioned, Discourse is where it all goes down, and here's where you click to become a member for a small monthly donation.

When Kenyan Ruth Chepng'etich took nearly two minutes off the women's marathon world record, the sporting world was aghast. How did she do it? Shoe tech, nutrition, race tactics?

This week, George Hirsch and Amby Burfoot talk with Jenny Simpson, miler turned marathoner--well, almost, as Simpson hasn't finished a marathon yet. But she'll be toeing the start line in Hopkinton on April 15, and she sounds absolutely determined to make it to the Copley-Square finish line. Simpson explains in this conversation that she never intended for the Olympic Marathon Trials in February to be her first marathon start, but life had other ideas, so that's how things developed. She dropped out of the Trials at about 18 miles, and now thinks she overtrained and overstressed about the 26.2-mile distance. For a decade, Simpson had been the best USA 1500 meter/miler. She excelled at the global level, winning an Olympic bronze along with a gold and two silvers at the World Championships. She also won the Fifth Ave Mile 8 times. Even during her track career, Simpson explains, she did a long run almost every weekend. She also attended many marathons with her husband, Jason, a 2:18 runner, and found herself inspired by the tens of thousands of amateur runners who challenged themselves with the marathon distance. Before speaking with Jenny, George and Amby discussed the biggest recent running news. Amby got a chuckle over his Google News aggregator, which brought him an April Fool's Day story from LetsRun.com. It claimed that Taylor Switft was now dating shot put great, Ryan Crouser, all 6' '7" and 320 pound of him. Take that Travis Kelce! But Amby turned serious when noting that the BAA/Boston Marathon was putting out press releases listing "5 Reasons for a Clear Course" while a Black running club rejoindered with "5 Reasons for a Cheer Course." Last year there was tension at the Marathon's 21st mile when club members allegedly ran onto the course. George was impressed by the always strong performances at the World Cross-Country Championships. This year in Serbia, the Kenyan senior women swept the top 5 places--an unprecedented team achievement. Individual champions Beatrice Chebet (Kenya) and Jacob Kiplimo (Uganda) repeated their victories of 2 years ago. The next World Cross meet will be held in January, 2026, in Tallahassee, FL. Reviewing their conversation with Simpson, Amby said that he appreciated her conviction that a woman athlete could be both a fierce competitor and a good sport at the same time. George liked her fearlessness in stepping up from the mile to the marathon. You can keep up with Jenny Simpson by following her on Instagram.

In this podcast, George Hirsch and Amby Burfoot talk with Dave McGillivray, who has run the last 51 Boston Marathons in a row, most of them while also serving as Boston's race course director. That meant he couldn't start his run from Hopkinton until everyone else had finished theirs at Copley Square. On April 15, he will be aiming for his 52nd consecutive finish. Sometimes that seems like the least of McGillivray's endurance achievements. He has also finished 9 Ironman Triathlons, several Coast To Coast runs, and a 24-hour pool swim, during which he covered 27 miles. Most of these efforts were undertaken to raise funds for various New England charities. This April, for the first time since the 1980s, McGillivray will be running with the main pack of Boston entrants. He'll start the first several "waves," then walk back to join a son and daughter in mid-pack. This time he's supporting his own charity, the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation (link below) that seeks to "inspire and empower" New England youth. Before speaking with McGillivray, George and Amby discussed the Barkley Marathons, where Jasmin Paris became the first female runner to finish the grueling, 100+ mile forest scramble in Tennessee. The event, and Paris's success, were covered by the NYTimes, BBC, and many other media. This led to a discusion of why ultra endurance events get so much attention. George said he thought it was due to the female angle--that we are at an important historial turning point when women athletes are finally getting their due. He mentioned that Caitlin Clark is probably the most heavily covered collegiate basketball player in this year's NCAA championship playoffs. Along the same lines, Amby recalled the recent success of Netflix's movie about Dyana Nyad. He also noted the recent 10,000 meter track performances of Grant Fisher, Nico Young and Waini Kelati. At The Ten, all met the qualifying times for this summer's Paris Olympics. After the interview, Amby said he was impressed with the way McGillivray shared his triple-bypass heart surgery with the running public to raise public awareness. George noted that McGillivray was anything but an instant success in the marathon. He dropped out of his first, and nearly quit his second at the 21 mile mark in 1973. At that point, he thought of his grandfather's belief in him, and picked himself off the sidewalk to complete the last 5 miles. And he hasn't missed a Boston finish since then.

In this podcast, George Hirsch and Amby Burfoot talk with Clayton Young, who recently finished second in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Orlando, Florida. Since Young had run a sensational 2:08:00 in last fall's Chicago Marathon, he is now fully qualified for this summer's Olympic Marathon in Paris. In the Marathon Trials, Young gained a lot of attention for the pair of shades he elected to wear all weekend, and also for his innovative use of a fluids bottle within a metallic bottle that also provided refreshingly-cool caps en route. In the last several miles, he looked better than his training partner Conner Mantz. Indeed Young several times swerved close to the cheering crowds to egg them on, and to see if he could find an American flag to carry to the finish. Yet in the final yards, he let Mantz edge ahead of him to break the tape. In this interview, Young admits that he could have won the race if he wanted, and that he later agonized for a short time over his decision. He wondered if he had made a mistake. In the end, he says, the "joy of the moment" was more important than winning the marathon. Before speaking with Young, George and Amby discuss some important recent news stories including: George's trip to the Barcelona Marathon, the great double wins by Parker Valby and Nico Young in the NCAA indoor championships, and Camile Herron's world-record-setting 6-day race in California during which she covered 560 miles. After the interview, George noted the growing list of successful marathon runners from Brigham Young University. He was struck that "the runners have a deep appreciation for each other, and for everyone else who contributes. They've built something special that combines the best of team, family, and community ... and it's really powerful." Amby was impressed with Young's self-confessed "runner nerdiness," and tried to convince him to wear a bro-bra in Paris--one filled with energy gels and ice packs.6 To keep up with Clayton Young, you can follow him on Instagram.

There are few legacy sessions with more legs than the Yasso 800s workout. In the fall of 2001, Amby Burfoot wrote an article in Runner's World about a session that the magazine's races services manager, Bart Yasso did repeatedly in preparation for a marathon. He'd been doing this session 3-4 times a cycle for over 15 years. It's simple as shit: 10 x 800m in your marathon goal time with tequal rest. So if you want to go sub 3, you do 10 x 800m in 3:00 w/ a 3 min rest. In this episode, we take this session to task. Or, more accurately, I do. I get a little spicy in this one so beware. I have some strong opinions about it. In Bart's defense, he didn't proselytize this session, Burfoot did. & he didn't do it as a predictor session, he did it as a progressive load session, very different animal. So perhaps my ire was misguided. But as I point out repeatedly, I am not banging on about Yasso, I am banging on about the way this session has been appropriated & infantilized. You be the judge. Regardless, we have a lot of fun with this one & we decided to rename the workout...or create an adapted version...I am not really sure. Last week I said "Stories Abound." This week, "Joker's Abound." At least I'm consistent. & speaking of consistency, two notes before we send you into the meat of this conversation: 1.) This episode is a day late to be posted because I didn't get it scheduled correctly before I headed out to the Boston Marathon. What an amazing weekend. But more on that next week. 2.) We added some bonus content. If you listen through to the end, there is a hidden track that actually began this conversation but was so far afield from the main thrust of the topic that we had to cut it. But at the last minute, I thought I should add it as a bonus. Let us know if you like the banter. So, in all it's raging glory, I present to you the episode we call Ted Lasso 800's. Godspeed, my friends, godspeed.

For the 100th episode, we had to go out and bring you all a legend. Please welcome Bill Rodgers to D3 Glory Days. The 4x Boston and NYC Marathon winner, Olympian and Wesleyan graduate walked us through his career. From the early days, Rodgers enjoyed running with his friend and brother as it was a fun activity to do with a group. As he progressed through his high school days, he saw his potential to get better. The idea of going to a big state school was overwhelming and he went 15 miles down the road to Wesleyan College. His teammate and mentor Amby Burfoot played a big role in Bill's motivation to move to the marathon after college. Amby won the Boston Marathon in 1968 while he was a student at Wesleyan. Rodgers took time away from running after college as the Vietnam War made things feel insignificant. After living on the Boston Marathon course and seeing the race, Bill got the spark he needed to get back to training. In 1973, he ran his first Boston Marathon but dropped out at mile 20 and walked home. By 1975, Rodgers figured out it out and won the Boston Marathon in 2:09:55 - which was an American Record at the time. Rodgers would go on to win Boston and New York 4 times each, competed in the 1976 Olympic games and competed in 60 marathons. Rodgers also played a vital role in brining professionalism to the sport of running. He worked with other athletes to fight for the pay they deserved.

Amby Burfoot won the 1968 Boston Marathon, was a long time editor for Runners World Magazine, and has authored several running books but his proudest running accomplishment is that he has run the same Thanksgiving Day 5 mile road race 59 years in a row. To Amby, it's about sticking with the things we have pursued. He values persistence and fortitude, and believes being a champion is more about feats of endurance than breaking the tape. HE may not know what he wants to be when he grows up, but I think it's pretty clear to the rest of us that his fate is sealed as THE icon for longevity in running.

Unlike runners in their 20s and 30s, older runners are often walking that tightrope between performance, potential and overall health and wellness. Running is still a battle to perform your best, but we're also running for our health and overall well-being. That's why we're thrilled to have legendary runner and writer Amby Burfoot on our podcast to discuss the key ingredients to running happy, maximizing potential, and staying healthy as we get older. In this episode, we cover… What are the key ingredients to being a runner for life? Why do some runners “defy age” and what are their secrets? Once we realize that we can't run/train the way we could when we were younger, what's your advice for staying motivated? What are some of the most common mistakes runners make as they get older? What about nutrition needs for older runners? Does that need to change as well? These answers and much, much more from one of the most influential runners and writers of the last few decades.

This week we discuss the Portland Marathon, how the Original Crazies did in their race and the joys of volunteering at a marathon when injuries sideline you.

“One day we had a bad basketball practice. The coach was pissed off at us. He literally made us run the cross-country course as punishment. I was the worst player on the JV basketball team but I came back first when we had to run 3 miles in cross country and I just said, ‘Hey, maybe I should switch sports instead of fighting to be bad.' And so I switched to running and running seemed to be a place where an obsessive personality and an infinite amount of work payed some benefits—and it did for me. I don't think it's quite as important now as I did 50 years ago but there's no replacement for hard work, is there?” Amby Burfoot is a legend in running and someone I've looked up to and admired since I first got my start in the sport over 20 years ago. A native of Connecticut, Amby won the 1968 Boston Marathon when he was a senior at Wesleyan University. After his competitive running career ended, he worked at Runner's World, where he spent 25 years as an editor before retiring in 2012. Amby is still running strong—and writing about running regularly—as he nears the age of 75 and I just have so much respect for everything he's done and is still doing in the sport. There's a lot that we covered in this conversation. We talked about Amby's competitive running career, how he got started, and what it was like to win the Boston Marathon while he was still in college. He told me about his obsessive personality and the different forms it's taken over the course of his life. We discussed what he's up to now, his longevity as a runner and writer, and continuing to pursue your passions as you age. Amby told me about his time at Runner's World, he shared his thoughts on the evolution of the running media landscape over the past 2-3 decades, and a lot more.

We were joined by Amby Burfoot, a man whose life has been centered around his love for running. We talk about his early years of competitive running highlighted by his 1968 Boston Marathon victory and relationship with Six Minute Mile Podcast alumni and his former roommate, Bill Rodgers. Amby talks about the progress running has made in making the sport more inclusive and equal and also where there is still room for improvement. Amby then walks us through his transition from competitive to recreational runner and why he is a fan of the 30 miles a week regiment over a grueling 100 miler. We move on to his life as a writer and journalist with Runner's World magazine and his decades-long career there, which got its jump-start from the help of another SMM guest, Hal Higdon. As usual, we end our conversation with some rapid-fire questions regarding his taste in books, movies and running preferences.
5 mindset pillars and 3 mindfulness practices are maybe not what comes to mind when you think of your typical running program. “You have to want it, you have to plan for it, you have to fit it into a busy day, you have to be mentally tough, you have to use others to help you. The hard part isn't getting your body in shape. The hard part is getting your mind in shape.” – Amby Burfoot 5 Mindset Pillars that made up a Runner's mind Purpose- your purpose will give you meaning Goals- goals is a road map, it gives us directions Confidence- creating a strong confidence in our ability to reach our goal will help us persevere Attitude- our attitude towards something determines our success “A good attitude went for beyond the general idea of staying positive.

What an honor to speak with three-time Boston Marathon champion (1970, 1971, and 1972), Sara Mae Berman, and her husband/coach/running and ski orienteering partner, Larry Berman. Sara Mae won the Boston Marathon as an unofficial winner from 1969 to 1971 before women were allowed to officially enter the race in 1972. She was also the first and only woman with three children to win the Boston Marathon. She achieved her personal best time in 1971 in a time of 3:05, and she shares how she achieved that time with Larry's support (he ran a personal best of 2:38). In addition to winning Boston three times, Sara Mae placed third at the NYC Marathon in 1971 in a time of 3:08, and placed fifth at Boston in 1972 (her first race as an official entrant) and 1973. In addition to running, Sara Mae was and continues to be an avid participant in ski-orienteering and cross-country skiing. Sara Mae and Larry founded the Cambridge Sports Union in 1962, which remains one of Boston's premiere running and ski clubs. Sara Mae and Larry share how she began her career at a five mile road race in Marlborough, Massachusetts, after Larry challenged her to run an 8 minute mile. For years, Sara Mae and Larry worked to convince the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) to allow women to participate in races. They share the barriers she overcame to eventually have the opportunity to race officially with a bib number. To learn more about Sara Mae and Larry and the other pioneers of women's running, check out Amby Burfoot's book, the First Ladies of Running.

Ok, so I have to admit that I was awfully intrigued with Amby Burfoot’s new article for Podium Runner. I was very curious to see what insights there’d be into the world of marathon training for recreational runners, or as they were called mid packers. And then someone asked if I’d share my thoughts on […]
Legend is a word that is often bandied around, and frequently unjustified.That said, our guest on Episode 8 of SHOEphoria pretty much invented this descriptor in relation to running.Amby Burfoot won the Boston Marathon in 1968 at the tender age of 22, and went on to set his best time for the marathon at the famed Fukaoka Marathon in Japan in time of 2:14:28.8Amby did not know at the time, but this was just one second from the American marathon record at the time! He told me he would have gone much harder had he realised!Remarkably, Alby holds another record, that being the running of the Manchester Road Race 57 times in a row besting the streak of barefoot runner, Charlie "Doc" Robbins.Amby Burfoot is a very interesting man, having lived most of his adult life as an ovolacto vegetarian, primarily for ethical reasons (although he does admit that once he had children, he would polish off the odd burger because he could not bear to see food go to waste!)He has had a distinguished career as a Running journalist, bringing a degree of authenticity, honesty and great knowledge to many of the challenges the sport has faced, including footwear.During the great minimalist footwear upheaval of the early 2010’s Amby Burfoot remained a steadfast voice of reason, not for, not against, just reporting the facts.Footwear, running, the Boston bombing, rooming with Bill Rodgers and Jeff Galloway, and why he completely missed the 60’s are all highlights of a memorable SHOEphoria podcast with the inimitable and irrepressible Amby Burfoot!
We discuss the topic of cheating in the sport of running and Amby’s general background as a runner. Encompassed in this we touch on the Nike Zoom Vaporfly Next % and whether or not the performance multiples obtained by recent runners will continue to grow over time. We also cover general running advice and what […]
“In pursuing the mental side of endurance, Jurek uncovers the most important secrets any runner can learn.”—Amby Burfoot, author of The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life For nearly two decades, Scott Jurek has been a dominant force—and darling—in the grueling and growing sport of ultrarunning. Until recently he held the American 24-hour record and he was one of the elite runners profiled in the runaway bestseller Born to Run. In Eat and Run, Jurek opens up about his life and career as a champion athlete with a plant-based diet and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, Scott's story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance. Full of stories of competition as well as science and practical advice—including his own recipes—Eat and Run will motivate readers and expand their food horizons. “Jurek's story and ideas should easily manage to speak to and cheer on anyone seeking to live life as fully as possible.”—Denver Post “A shockingly honest, revealing, and inspiring memoir.”—Trail Runner
To celebrate the NYC Marathon this week, today's interview is with the legendary Bill Rodgers, 4X winner of the NYC Marathon, 4X winner of the Boston Marathon, former American record holder, and so much more. It's hard to imagine what the sport of running would be like without Bill Rodgers. Bill started running as a kid, the way most of us do-- naturally, and just for fun. He ran cross country in high school and was "recruited" to Wesleyan University by none other than Amby Burfoot. While at Wesleyan, Bill's roommate was Jeff Galloway who, as Bill notes was not the Jeff Galloway, at the time. He was just Jeff Galloway. He also roomed with Burfoot the year that Burfoot won the Boston Marathon. To me this is like the Beatles, Stones and Dylan all living together in college, not realizing what they were creating. Even Bill did not realize it at the time. He didn't foresee that he would someday run in the Boston Marathon, let alone win it 4 times... and win the NYC marathon 4 times... and win an American record... and run in the Olympics.... and continue racing into his seventies... and help lead the running boom that has become what it is today with 40,000 people lining up on Staten Island for the NYC Marathon. In fact, after college, Bill quit running and took up smoking. You'll hear why in our interview. And you'll also hear how Bill found his way back to the sport: with a little help from his friends. And to me, that was my biggest takeaway from this interview. Going into this interview, I was hoping that Bill would share with us his wisdom on winning. Like, what did he learn in all of those victories? What did he find within himself that propelled him to the top? Was it nutrition? A special training regimen? A special kind of grit? A mantra that he said to himself in the later miles of a race? What was the secret? Well, without giving too much away, the secret is to run with your friends. It took me a while to pick up on this in the interview. But each time I prodded Bill for some special wisdom, he always answered with some variation on who he was running with. Once he said it for the nth time, I finally realized it. And it resonated with me so strongly because that's what draws me to the sport too. The camaradarie of an early morning run with your friends. When it's freezing cold and 6AM, but you gotta get out there because you know they'll be there too. When you're on the Verrazano Bridg with 40,000 other runners who you've never met before, from all over the world. And you're all about to write a special story together. Being part of this amazing Charity Miles community and seeing the photos that you share everyday in our Facebook group and on Instagram. Hearing your stories. That's what it's about for me. That's what fires me up! So, if you're going to be on the Verrazano with me this weekend, take a look around. See the story on each person's face. Feel the energy, the spirit. You're part of something special. If you're not running NYC this weekend, run or walk a few miles with us in spirit. Even better if you bring a friend. You too are part of this special community. So thank you for being part of our community. I know I'll be feeling your energy on Sunday. #EveryMileMatters -Gene P.S. Here's a link to the Bill Rodgers Running Center. And here's a link to buy Bill's book, Marathon Man, which I highly recommend
Last month, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) released a verdict that has become one of the most hotly debated rulings in sport history. At the centre of this decision is one woman: the South African mid-distance phenom Caster Semenya. Semenya has a condition called 46XY DSD, which results in her body producing higher than average levels of testosterone. The science and emotions behind this case are complex, and have divided the world of athletics in a way that is unprecedented. In this episode, 3 guests offer their unique perspectives on this complex topic. Amby Burfoot is the former Editor-in-Chief at Runner's World Magazine. In Part 1, we chatted with Burfoot about his reasons for agreeing with testosterone limits. Today in Part 2, we talk with former track and field Olympian and professor Dr. Bruce Kidd. We also speak with Dr. Payoshni Mitra, who was instrumental in overturning the hyperandrogenism ruling in the 2015 Dutee Chand case. Dr. Kidd and Dr. Mitra share their reasons for disagreeing with the CAS ruling, and their hopes for the future. (To skip ahead to Part 2, go to 33:05)

Today on Boston Public Radio: It's Marathon Monday! Throughout the program we took calls from listeners, and also checked in with WGBH News reporters Edgar B. Herwick III at the halfway mark and Phillip Martin at the finish line. Former Boston Police Commissioner William Evans told us about running the marathon as a civilian this year. Amby Burfoot, winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon, discussed his new book "Run Forever: Your Complete Guide to Healthy Lifetime Running." Boston Mayor Marty Walsh shared what it was like to crown the winners of the race and weighed in on President Donald Trump's recent comments about sanctuary cities. Boston Police Commissioner William Gross explained how local law enforcement prepares for the Marathon year-round. Consul General Stratos Efthymiou shared the history behind the tradition of bestowing a crown of laurels upon the winner.
Una de las preguntas que nos hacen los runners más frecuentemente es: ¿Debo correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento? Aunque suene un poco obvio, veremos que no es tan sencilla la respuesta.

Confianza. Antes de desglosar el tema a profundidad, quisimos tocar el tema de confianza. Resulta muy común que runners quieran correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento solo por el hecho de subir los niveles de autoconfianza. Y aunque resulta claro, si has corrido 21 kilómetros en entrenamiento puede que tengas mayor tranquilidad al momento de la carrera. No obstante, veremos que no siempre es lo indicado. Especialmente, en distancias como 21k 42k o ultramaratones. Ningún ultramaratonista que conozca, corre 160 kilómetros en entrenamiento antes de una carrera de 160 k. En noviembre 3 del 2018, Luis participará en una carrera de 160 kilómetros y su distancia máxima en entrenamiento será de 42k. De esta manera, no cometas el error de por sólo elevar tu autoconfianza dejes tu mejor esfuerzo en entrenamiento en vez de la competencia. ¿Debo correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento? Para responder a esta pregunta, decidimos dividir esta duda basado en dos cosas: Distancia y habilidad. Depende si quieres correr 5k, 10k, 21k o maratón. Adicionalmente, eres una persona que nunca ha completado dicha distancia o por el contrario eres experimentado. De acuerdo a estas variables, la respuesta cambia ligeramente. Asà que resumamos rápidamente lo hablado en el episodio: Cinco y diez kilómetros. Principiantes: Según múltiples planes, es posible correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento. Incluso un poco más. Se habla que puedes incluso caminar, en el caso de los 5k, más de los kilómetros que vas a cubrir en carrera. Ahora, si nunca has corrido la distancia, sigue los consejos del episodio # 5, donde hablamos de las reglas de oro como: No aumentar más del 10% la distancia semanal de semana a semana. Intentar entrenar mÃnimo tres veces por semana. Es la frecuencia mÃnima para lograr que tu cuerpo logre las adaptaciones positivas del entrenamiento Avanzados: Ya que has completado múltiples 5k o 10k, y ahora tu meta es bajar el tiempo, la respuesta es un concreto sÃ. No sólo puedes correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento, sino que es aconsejado. Correr fondos de más de 5k y 10k respectivamente, construye tu habilidad aeróbica. Los trabajos de velocidad son complementados poderosamente cuando corres 1 a 3 veces por semana distancias superiores. Si estás interesado en mejorar velocidad, puedes escuchar este episodio. Media maratón (21k): Aquà la respuesta a sà debes correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento varÃa mucho según a quien le preguntas. Nos tomamos el trabajo de visitar 100 planes gratuitos en internet y esto fue lo que encontramos: Sin embargo, en el episodio discutimos la agresiva idea de Amby Burfoot, quien dice que podrÃas solo correr 11.5 kilómetros y aún asà estar listo para una media maratón. Una vez más, dividimos la respuesta entre novatos y experimentados: Principiantes: Para nosotros, un principiante no es solo aquella persona que nunca ha corrido 21k antes, sino cualquier persona que no ha construido su base atlética. Para esto, es necesario invertir entre 6 a 12 meses corriendo mÃnimo 3 veces por semana al menos 30 minutos diarios. Si estas en estos grupos, la recomendación es NO correr la distancia de la carrera en entrenamiento. Mejor corre alrededor de 16k y dar lo mejor de ti en la carrera oficial. Avanzados: Al igual que los corredores avanzados de 5k y 10k, la respuesta es positiva. Puedes correr la distancia de la carrera en entrenamiento. Se aconseja un 20% adicional. Lo importante es hacerlos a un ritmo inferior del que quieres correr en la carrera. Maratón (42k): Hablamos de varias razones para no correr la distancia de la carrera en entrenamiento cuando hablamos de 42.195 kilómetros. Aunque atletas elite como Keflezighi, Kipchoge, Bauer corren rutinariamente una maratón en entrenamiento. Sin embargo, el 99.9% de los planes aconseja no correr 42k en entrenamiento. Incluso, hablamos de las siguientes razones lógicas para seguir esta recomendación: Después de tres horas y medio de correr, los beneficios fisiológicos son decrecientes. Ver John Honerkamp. Según Honerkamp, para correr una maratón la mÃnima distancia que debes cubrir es 26 kilómetros. También, lo puedes medir en tiempo. Hacer un fondo de tres horas es suficiente para preparar exitosamente una maratón. Ventajas de correr entre 26 y 34 kilómetros en entrenamiento: Confianza: Correr alrededor de 30 kilómetros da la confianza suficiente al runner que puede completar los 42k el dÃa de carrera. Simulación: Esta oportunidad te sirve para ensayar todo lo relacionado a la carrera: Hidratación. Vestimenta. AltimetrÃa. Circuito. Fueling. Aprender a correr cansado: Las reservas naturales de glucógeno son alrededor de 90 minutos. Correr después de esta barrera enseña a tu cuerpo a correr una vez se está agotado. También le da oportunidad de aprender a hacer un cambio en la fuente de energÃa. EstÃmulo fisiológico: Está comprobado que los beneficios fisiológicos ocurren entre los minutos 90 y 150. Extensión capilar, desarrollo mitocondrial y niveles de mioglobina ocurren en este periodo. Efectos de correr 42 kilómetros. Otra razón para no correr la distancia de carrera en entrenamiento es que hacerlo conlleva consecuencias reales a nivel fÃsico, entre ellas: Efectos negativos al sistema muscoloesquelético entre 3 a 14 dÃas. Compromete el sistema inmunológico. Daños a nivel celular por 3 a 7 dÃas. No te pierdas el próximo episodio. Ya sabes donde puedes escuchar el episodio entrevista completo.

The 1968 Boston Marathon Champion reflects on his decades of contributions to the sport of running, as both a competitor and a writer. Amby has seen many changes sweep through the sport of running since his first impressions of the Boston Marathon as a Wesleyan Student in 1965. He has experienced them as a competitor, and as a long time contributor and editor to Runner's World magazine. He shares these observations with B.A.A. CEO Tom Grilk, just days before he takes on the 2018 Boston Marathon on the 50th anniversary of his win in 1968.
The full broadcast of Boston Public Radio form Monday, April 10th, 2018. Volunteers, supporters and — most importantly — runners have braved the rain to participate in today's Boston Marathon. We ask you, would you forgive runners for pulling out of the race today because of the extreme weather?After winning the Boston Marathon 50 years ago, Amby Burfoot, now 71, is running it again. We talked to him about his marathon experiences and running tips. The GroundTruth Project's Charlie Sennott discussed America's military strategy in Syria.Former Governor Deval Patrick joined us to talk about the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings and the city's resilience. We talked to Dr. Eric Goralnick about the medical lessons that we learned from the marathon bombings. Marathon bombing survivors Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes talk about their new children's book, "Rescue and Jessica, A Life-Changing Friendship." Sports reporter Trenni Kusnierek updated us on the marathon winners.
It's been 50 years since Amby Burfoot crossed the Boston Marathon finish line as the winner so we decided to catch up with him to talk about everything surrounding this year's race including the inclusion of transgender runners. Hear what he had to say about that and if Amby thinks Kevin would every run.
In this episode we speak with the winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon, Amby Burfoot. We learn about Amby’s background, his experience winning the Boston Marathon, his perspective on the changes in the running world over the last 50 years, and why he believes the brain is the most important part of our running bodies.
Welcome to Episode 62 of the Final Surge Podcast. Today we get the honor of talking to Bart Yasso. Many of you know Bart as the longtime writer at Runner's World. Bart has been at Runners World for over 30 years and has become known as the Mayor of running. Bart has a new book called “Race Everything.” In Bart's new book he gives his thoughts on the changes in running, he talks about every race distance from 5k up to ultra’s and triathlons, he talks about his favorite workouts for each distance and provides training plans. We really enjoyed this conversation with Bart and hope you do too. You have been around a long time, and many know your story, but for those who have not heard, can you give us a few minutes of how you got your start in running and how it lead up to where you are today. What are some of the things that have changed for the better in the decades you have been involved in running? I am sure you remember those early days with the fancy Timex Ironman and Casio watches we used to wear. Do you like technology advances like the GPS watch, heart rate monitors and power meters? We have all heard of the selfie, but now we have the “Bartie”, this is when you take a selfie at events with a group of runners, how did this first start? You do an amazing job connecting with everyday runners and I am sure that over the years that helped the Runners World brand. There are some professional runners that connect well too, but I would say most do not. Do you think the sport could benefit from the elite athletes spending a little more time trying to connect on social media and at events with the everyday runner? Your new book is called “Race Everything.” When I got it I was not sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed the format which we will get into. So what brought about the book? In the book, you write about some of your favorite races at different distances, and I think you have raced more than 1000 races? So with that many races under your belt, you are more than qualified to answer a few questions on races. What makes a great race? If a new runner is looking for their first race is it better for them to pick a large race like the Austin 10k or Carlsbad 5000, or is it better for them to get into a small local race that may only have 150 runners in it? In the book, you give some good training advice in general and for each race distance. The 5k has become the most popular race distance to run. What makes the Carlsbad 5000 your favorite 5k race? Another thing you talk about is racing series. There are many summer series and such where they race often. What advice do you have for someone who trying to decide how often to race? It seems to me one of the fastest growing race distances in popularity is the half marathon. If someone is jumping up into a 1/2 from a 5k or 10k, what race day advice do you have for them that they should be considering? And for the marathon, a key workout for you, and for thousands of runners over the year has been the Yasso 800s, which I believe Amby Burfoot coined the term for in your honor correct? With the Yasso 800's you do them at marathon time, that is not the same thing as marathon pace if you are expecting a 2:50 marathon you are doing the 800’s in 2:50? When should athletes do them in their training cycle and how often? One of the things you talk about is building mileage, there is a good rule of thumb that most people use that says no more than 10% increase, while other's point to the fact that there is zero scientific evidence that supports that, so what is your suggestions on mileage buildup for someone who is looking to run a longer marathon or ultra?

Former Boston Marathon Champ and longtime Runner's World editor Amby Burfoot joined us for a great talk about his half-century in running and his new book, First Ladies of Running. Amby got his start in running when he was a sophomore in high school. Amby has run over 110,000 miles in his career, which is equivalent to running around the equator more than four times. With all those miles he has had very few injuries. Amby talks to us about why the mind is so important to our running as we get older. Amby is now more involved and concerned with the overall general health of society these days. Amby talks about the irony of us becoming a more obese society in the middle of a fitness revolution which we have gone through. Being so plugged into the sport first as a winner of the Boston Marathon, then the last what 38 years at Runners World, Amby has had a front-row seat to the evolution of training. We talk about training secrets and just like the two coaches we have had on before Amby, it seems to come down to hard and consistent work? We like to open up questions on Twitter to our followers, and one question that Angela wanted us to ask was What Running Myths would you like to get rid of once and for all? Amby Burfoot has recently released his sixth book, First Ladies of Running. We talk about some of the early women running legends including Joan Benoit, Kathrine Switzer, and the first women to run Boston, Bobbi Gibb. Amby also talks about an entertaining story he discovered when he was writing the book from Grace Butcher, a farm girl from Ohio. Amby talks in depth on why he included Ophrah Winfrey in his book on the first ladies of running. We also talk about the future of women's running and how the Internet has greatly affected the time high school girls scene. We finish the interview with some stories about the early days of New England road races in the 60's and early 70's. You can get a copy of Amby's book here, and we will be giving away a signed copy, you can find out details at FinalSurge.com/promo

Sarah and co-host Ellison Weist are delighted to be joined by long-time Runner’s World editor and author Amby Burfoot to talk about his new book, First Ladies of Running, which profiles 22 groundbreaking women runners. First Amby shares his running story, including remembrances of winning the 1968 Boston Marathon at the age of 21 (!!). Amby and Ellison bond over having androgynous names, then he muses on why Kathrine Switzer is mistakenly thought to be the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. He talks about the risk for new runners to do too much, too soon, offering the reminder, “big progress in running comes from slow, incremental steps.” When he utters the sentence, “running is constantly about beginning again,” Amby earns a mother runner stripe. He continues showing his empathy for women runners when he talks about the ways in which running fosters independence and builds strength.
