In today's episode Matt and Nathan dive into the Brooks Launch 8 and Launch 8 GTS (go-to-stability) while drawing comparisons to other high quality budget trainers that are out on the market. They discuss which budget trainers ($100 or less) exist and why some may work better than others for certain people. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/doctors-of-running/support

Misurata in millimetri, il drop è la differenza di l'altezza di una scarpa tra tallone e avampiede. Ad esempio, una Brooks Launch da donna ha un drop di 10 millimetri, il che significa che il tallone sarà di 10 millimetri più alto rispetto all'avampiede. Questo differenziale è diverso dall'altezza dello stack, ovvero la distanza che c'è fra la pianta del piede e il suolo. Le due misurazioni sono correlate, tuttavia, poiché l'altezza dello stack, indicata per il tallone e l'avampiede, viene utilizzata per determinare il drop. INDICE DEGLI ARGOMENTI: 00:00 Introduzione? 00:24 Che cos'è il drop? 00:41 Che cos'è lo stack? 01:00 A cosa serve il drop? 02:18 Meglio drop alto o drop basso?

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-393 – Gary and the Tao of Running (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4393.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-393.  Today’s show is about resilience.  That’s the theme.  It’s more than just stubbornness, or courage, or grit, (which is the popular term now).  It is about all those things and more.  As endurance athletes and runners we have a front row seat to the practice of resilience across the arc of our lives. Today we talk with Gary who I met at the Burning River 100.  He was selling copies of his book “the Tao of Running”.  I took his card, and we connected this past week to chat about how to practice this courage, and enjoy it, in our training and racing. In section one I’ll talk about resilience in our running.  You can tell by now that I ‘v been thinking about this a lot.  Resilience is one of the keys to living a successful life, right?  In section two I’ll talk about an example of how to use resilience at work. I am running the Wapack Trail 18 miler this weekend.  I’m looking forward to it.  I think I can carry the fitness I built up this summer into the race and do well.  It’s a funny thing when you look at an 18 mile technical mountain race as an easy race!  Other than that I’ve been training away, trying to get some speed back.  Not that I ever had any real speed, it’s all relative.  I registered for my 21st Boston Marathon this week.  I used my Baystate time from last year of 3:33:33, which would probably get me in under the cutoff.  I’m guessing the cutoff is going to creep again this year and move closer to 5 minutes under the standard.  But, since I have 10+ years in I get to register early and cut the line.  Technically I could get in with a 3:39:59.  I can’t believe summer is almost over.  I hope yours has been splendid.  Mines been pretty good.  I got to ride my motorcycle more than I have in years. I have a back-road route that I take to work and back.  I sometimes think that maybe an old guy like me should not be riding the motorcycle so much.  My reaction times probably aren’t what they used to be.  Getting into an accident with a car on a motorcycle typically doesn’t end well for the motorcyclist. I’m basically a giant engine with a gas tank strapped to it traveling at high velocity.  As anyone who rides a motorcycle knows, the first thing people do when they learn that you ride is tell you their worst motorcycle story.  That friend who got obliterated on the highway by a distracted driver.  Here’s a tip; that’s not the least bit helpful.  Don’t do that.  On the back roads I’ve got different challenges than on the highway.  On a typical ride to or from work I’ll have one or two cars try to kill me.  But, I’m pretty good at seeing it coming so I avoid these inelastic interactions with the other commuters. As a bonus I get to shake my head at them and give them the ‘WTF” body language.  Mostly it’s people pulling out.  They just don’t see bikes.  There’s also a fair amount of running stop signs and not using signals.  You scan the landscape ahead of you and watch you the oncoming traffic.  You can read the ‘body language’ of the cars.  You get good at predictive analytics. You see a situation developing and make sure you’re not there when they do that stupid thing.  It’s like a video game.  One thing I’m seeing more of this year is people crossing the lines.  I know in Asia and certain metropolitan areas the lane lines are optional, but out where I live you’re supposed to stay on your side of the line.  I don’t know why you need to drive on my side of the road.  I see this behavior as a biker and runner too.  It’s probably distracted driving.  People are drifting all over the road.  So, my friends, look twice, save a life.  Motorcycles are everywhere.  Relax.  There is no need to run that stop sign.  Tighten it up a bit and keep to your own side of the road.  We appreciate the effort.  Spread the love. I’m going to keep riding my bike.  I always figured that’s how I’d meet my maker.  Being distracted by a pretty girl on the sidewalk and burying myself in the back of a stopped truck.  But, I’m resilient.  Are you? On with the show! … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

The book is The Tao of Running: Your Journey to Mindful and Passionate Running and of course is available through Amazon or Barnes & Noble as a paperback, Kindle, or Audible version. The new book, coming out in November, is The Mindful Runner, Finding Your Inner Focus, which can be pre-ordered through Amazon right now. I have a website, , which has a lot of information for runners including all my past columns from Ultrarunning magazine and all my race reports from the past 20 years. Bio Blurb: GARY DUDNEY has been publishing articles on running, trail running, and ultrarunning for the past 20 years. His work has appeared in all the major running magazines, such as Runner’s World, Running Times, Trailrunner,and Marathon & Beyond. For Ultrarunning magazine, considered the “voice of the sport” of ultra long distance running, he’s served as a regular columnist since 2008, and he has additionally supplied the magazine with dozens of uniquely quirky race reports.  Ideas for The Tao of Running were shaped by the 65 one hundred mile races he’s participated in and the almost two hundred other long distance races he’s completed. He holds a Master’s Degree from the University of Kansas in English Literature and his fiction credentials include stories in Boy’s Life magazine and in numerous literary magazines and one published novel, Cries-at-Moon of the Kitchi-Kit. Book Blurb: The Tao of Running offers a fresh perspective on the mental side of running while entertaining with vivid tales of running adventures. Going well beyond the standard training and racing advice found in most running books, it guides runners to a wider understanding of how running fits into their own aspirations, goals, and life philosophy, and how running can transform their lives. The Tao of Running answers questions, such as:  How does running evoke mindfulness and lead to stress reduction? How is running a transformative existential experience? How does running teach fundamental lessons about goals, self-awareness, and self-improvement? How does running promote special friendships and new perspectives on life? No other book offers readers these multiple frameworks for understanding their running experiences along with lots of practical advice on getting the most out of running. Readers are guaranteed to gain a greater appreciation for the rewards and possibilities inherent in running.   Section two – One More Call - http://runrunlive.com/one-more-call Outro   I managed to get down to Cape Cod last week.  I got a 2:30 long run in on the beach.  I wanted to go up to Coast Guard Beach which has a long, unbroken, straight line of a beach.  But the logistics proved a bit of a hassle.  Instead I went out to the Coast Guard Light Beach in Chatham. I’ve been running there for years but It has become challenging to get enough distance.  The beach used to run for miles but now it has been washed away and you can only get out for a mile or so before you run out of beach.  I was standing there looking across the harbor opening trying to decide if I should swim across the 50 feet to the other side.  A girl in a boat offered me a lift.  I demurred.  Luckily it was low tide and I was able to cross the mud flats and cut through the old port over to the private beaches on the other side.  In Massachusetts you have access to any ocean beach, private or public, below the high tide mark.  I finally ran out of beach about an hour in, but was able to cobble together enough turns and crenulations to get 2:24 in before I made it back to my truck.  There were lots of families out and people walking.  It was quite busy.  There were old guys in dirty rubber coveralls working the low tide clam flats with rakes.  The families got ferried out in skiffs for these excursions.  The clammers had their own flat bottomed aluminum boats bobbing in the shallows.  The thought in the back of my mind was if it’s low tide now, am I going to be able to get back when I turn around?  Am I going to be able to beat the tide?  Sure enough when I got back to the Old Port the tide had erased the mud flats.  I figured I was almost back I could just run through the water.  I already knew the bottom was hard and it was shallow.  I had un-retired an old pair of Brooks Launch for the weekend and I could justify getting those wet.  But, I found a trail off through the bush that circumnavigated the mud flats and got me back to the other beach without have to take the plunge.  It added a little distance, which I needed anyhow.  I was quite pleased with how things worked out. Step into the trails and the beaches and all you adventures.  It will work out.  … Speaking of Cape Cod.  I found a home for my Spaulding Boys Wagon Tongue Baseball Bat from the 1800’s.  Yvonne and I went to a bar in Harwich Port to watch the Patriot’s game and grab some dinner.  It is named the Hot Stove Café.  It is baseball themed.  I was chatting with the owner.  It occurred to me that I was surrounded by ancient baseball memorabilia.  I told him I had something in my truck he might be able to use.  When I dropped it the next day he wasn’t around.  Which is perfect, because he couldn’t say he didn’t want it!.  Just goes to show you.  Everything works out.  Patience.  Mindfulness.  Practice.  I’ll see you out there.

MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

In California, police consistently shoot over 100 people every year. Last year in the United States, nearly 1,200 people were killed by police officers. These deaths destroy families and rip apart communities while law enforcement responsible for even the most egregious cases are rarely, if ever, held accountable. The Network is a statewide coalition of rapid response organizations across the state of California that will mobilize communities to respond radically to state violence. The Network will focus heavily on legislation as well as a public information campaign around the Law Enforcement Officer’s Bill of Rights, the single largest obstacle to police accountability. Cat Brooks, Co-Founder of JTN, joined us on the Podcast to discuss the launch of this new initiative.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-375 – Leadville Father and Son  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4375.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast.  My name is Chris.  I’ll be your host for today. And for that I am truly grateful.  I guess you could say I’m your senior citizen of endurance sports.  We’ve got a lot to talk about today.   “We need to talk.” – no, seriously, today’s show is going to be chock-a-block with racing and running.  It is that time of year, right?  This is the end of the summer training campaign where we put all the chips down and race.  We take the test at the end of the term. Sometimes we pass, sometimes we fail.  Either way we learn.  And then we slide into the winter solstice of our training.  A celebration lap of Thanksgiving races and solstice celebrations.  It is the cycle of our lives.  Along the way today, between the racing talk, there may even be some other thoughts.  I can never be sure once I start writing!  In fact, the act of writing an episode is a bit like toeing the line at a race.  I never know what’s actually going to happen.  Until I get out there and feel the race.  That’s the good part.  That’s the uncertainty that keeps us moving forward. Today we’ll have a couple of race reports probably and I try to squeeze something important out of Eric and his son Zach who ended up running Leadville together and serendipitously finishing together. I am still quite busy in my life.  I have raced twice since we last talked.  And, I see many of you have raced as well.  I see your smiling faces and sweat-shiny bodies sprawled exultantly in the grass of a finish line, exhausted and triumphant!  Good for you.  You’ve cracked the code.  You’ve sipped from the well of knowledge that is endurance sports. Race weeks are actually less busy for me. My workouts are shorter and less intense.  For me these were local races so there were fewer logistics as well.  Basically I just have to lay out my kit and set the alarm.  Like I said, this is the end of my season.  This is the old cadence.  Train through the summer and race in the fall.  Now, whether you’ve made your goals or not, you cycle down.  It can be a full-on rest. Or it can be a change of pace.  But you need to cycle to refresh.  You can’t balance on that edge of race fitness for too long.  It’s a peak condition.  A point on the curve.  Now you cycle down and start, in reality, building momentum for the next cycle, the next peak.  The mistake people make is to load up a bunch of races in a row and just keep trying to execute.  When I do this I settle into a sort of mediocre purgatory of performance and enjoyment.  Life has rhythms.  You need to breath in and breathe out the physical and mental cycles to get your most fulfillment and best performance.  … Last episode I did a pep-talk piece on why we should all stop complaining and just show up and race.  I want to make sure that you understand when I do these oratory type pieces I am not focused on any specific individual.  Actually, I am focused on one specific individual; me.  Yeah, that’s right when I drop into lecture or inspirational talk mode, most of the time I’m not talking to you.  I’m talking to me.  These pieces are a way of me sorting through my thoughts, emotions and fears.  To get them down on the paper (yeah I still write with a pen in a notebook sometimes).  To tease out the ‘why am I feeling this way?’  and ‘Why did I do this stupid thing?’ and ‘What can I learn from it?’ I know it feels sometimes like I’m talking about you or to you, and I am, in a way because the human comedy has the same patterns.  If it resonates with you that’s great.  Any similarities to persons living or dead are purely coincidental.  On with the show. … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

Take those over-ripe, over abundant apples.  As many as you want.  Peel them.  Core them.  Cut up into pieces.  You can either mix in some spices before or after you cook them.  Your choice.  Cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon - whatever you like.  No sugar!  This is where I depart from grandma’s recipe.  And no butter!  You can add a bit of coconut or other healthy oil if you want.  Put them in an oven safe crock or pan of some sort covered.  Ignore them while they bake on low heat for a couple hours.  When, some hours later, you walk by the stove and think “Crap those apples are still in there!” you can take out the crock and stir up the now applesauce.  If just have to have sweetner you can add some honey.  Mix it in with your morning oatmeal.  Use it as a condiment.  It’s healthy and awesome.  And, since we are getting all seasonally Martha on you here’s another tip.  I have been struggling with this problem ever since I bought the house I live in.  There is no fan in the master bathroom.  In the summer I can open a window.  In the colder months I have trouble shaving because the mirror fogs up. I can wipe it with the towel, but it just doesn’t work well.  Th internet provided me with the trick.  You take a little shampoo, (or anything like that), and spread it on the part of the mirror you don’t want to fog up.  Then wipe it off.  Now, believe or not, that section will not fog no matter how long of a post-run hot shower you indulge in.  Very helpful.  Next up for me is the Thinksgiving 5K and right after that the Mill Cities Relay with my club.  And then the 6th rendition of the Groton Marathon!  Looks like Frank and Brian and maybe even Ryan will be healthy enough to run with me this year – on Dec 31st. End of the season!.  I have to think of something to keep me interested.  Then we get back on the next cycle for my 20th Boston Marathon.  I think I’ll have a party this year.  … I have a great podcast story for you.  This last week I went to see Mike Duncan speak at the Harvard Book Store on my way home from the city one night.  The smart kids in class will remember that Mike is the voice behind The History of Rome podcast.  Mike was one of the early podcasters and The History of Rome was one of the first podcasts back in 2007.  Coincidently around when I started RunRunLive.  Mike completed the arc of the history of Rome a few years back and has continued with a new history podcast called Revolutions which is quite good as well.  The History of Rome took him around 300 episodes and is still out there in podcast land.  Those of you who have been with me on this journey for a while might remember that I interviewed Mike on the show. He made the great mistake of mentioning that his wife was a half marathoner so I had an excuse to talk history with him.  () Tuesday night when I popped out of the train at Harvard Square and walked over to the Bookstore I was surprised to see quite a large crowd there to see Mike.  Standing room only.  Overflow crowd. And they had sold out his new book, , the Beginning of the end of the Roman Republic, which he was there to speak on.  {Link in the show notes}.  I was coincidently waiting for Teresa to get out of class, so I hung around with the overflow crowd, crouching in an aisle between biographies and gender studies and listened to Mikes talk over the loud speakers.  I hung around and waited out the 45 minute line of people waiting to shake his hand or get their book signed.  I introduced myself to Brandi, Mike’s wife, and we chatted about running.  She had just run the Marine Corps Marathon a couple days earlier.  We had a great chat.  I gave Mike my congrats on his successful book launch.  Talking to the people in the crowd, they weren’t necessarily there for Mike’s book, but they were there because of Mike’s podcast.  The voice had touched them.  The power of the voice of Mike’s podcast made them invested in Mike in a unique way.  Over the 10 years Mike has been doing the podcast, we, his audience have seen him, heard him, been with him on his journey.  Starting as an unemployed history major, getting married, having two kids and now publishing a real book.  He discovered that he could do what he loved from a room with a mic in Madison WI.  And make a living at it.  He didn’t need to ask for permission.  He just started talking about something that was interesting to him.  I’m very happy for his success. Mike also found his tribe.  I saw them in Cambridge Tuesday night.  Bow-tied, balding, tweed-suited history students and teachers waiting in line for a chance to shake the hand of the voice that had become a comfort and a friend to them in some deep disembodied way.  That for me was a bit awe inspiring and humbling. The lessons here are manifold.  First, of course, it to take action and do what you love and you will find your tribe.  Do it consistently and you may find success, however you define that. Another lesson, closer to home, is that your tribe is at once a great privileged and a humbling responsibility.  To have written the words and produced the voice that creates this investment from your tribe, just by doing what you love, is a great responsibility.  We all have our tribes.  We have this responsibility for our tribes.  What are you going to do today to make the investment of your tribe worth it and honorable? I am humbled.  I am truly grateful. Thank you for joining me on my adventure.  On my journey. I’ll see you out there.     Ok my friends you have run very quickly to the end of episode 4-374 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Let’s go for a cool-down and stretch a bit, shall we? After the Maine Marathon I decide to double down and run BayState in a couple weeks. It’s a flatish course design for qualifying.  I’ve qualified there twice.  I know the course.  My buddies Frank and Brian are running so Hopefully we can pace each other.  Based on the Maine marathon I’m in good enough shape to run a fast race on the right day.  I’m going to run the Groton Town Forest 10 miler tomorrow as a workout.  I’ll go out easy for the first 3 miles then race it in.  Should be fun. It’s a difficult course and one of my favorites.  It’s one of my club races and I do love to support the club.  I’ve adjusted to the new work schedule. The most challenging part has been burning in new habits.  I take the train in with Teresa. Most mornings I’ll where my workout stuff and do my workout early then shower up for work. The logistical challenge is remembering to bring everything you need for both activities and doing so either at night before you go to bed or in the morning before you head in.  So far I have forgotten, a belt, my office keys, my car keys, and my wallet and my shaving stuff – on different days this month.  No big deal – I just work around it.  One day this week I was throwing my workout stuff into my backpack – BTW I’ve found a use for the backpack that ASICS gave me – and I grabbed what I thought were my Hokas, but they ended up being a 6-year old pair of Brooks Launch that had been retired to lawn mowing long ago. I had an easy run on the schedule.  I just wore the old shoes.  I mean I ran a few hundred miles in those shoes at some point so I should be able to jog around the city in them for an hour!   See?  Smikle and muddle through.  It all works out.  I quick update of Buddy the old Wonder dog.  He’s doing ok.  He’s shrinking. Literally shrinking.  He appreciates the colder weather but he can’t run much anymore.  His back end bothers him and he’s slow getting up and down.  Just like me, he doesn’t’ know he’s old.  He sleeps all day and gets bored still.  He’s happy, but that’s built into his DNA.  … Another product I want to give you a review on is a pair of Bluetooth Headphones I’ve been trying to kill.  I got these sent to me in June by a company called Jaybird Wireless. They are the X3 – sweat proof, secure fit.  I have not been able to kill them. You see my super-power is sweat.  Not just any sweat, toxic Chris sweat. You folks are privy to the kind of workouts I do in all kinds of weather. Most headphones I’ve used that claim to be sweat-proof are not Chris-Sweat-Proof.  They last a couple weeks and I kill them.  I have not been able to kill these. The closest I got was one long workout in July when I filled them with so much fluid that they sounded like they were underwater.  I thought that was it, but they bounced back.  They survived the sweat filled days of July and august. They survived multiple of those as long runs.  They survive the occasional rainy tempest – like the back half of the Wapack Trial race.  At this point I’m willing to concede that these things are tough.  The only thing I managed to kill was the little blue light that comes on when you put them in the charging cradle.  That does not come on anymore.  But they still charge. They come in an overly complex iPhone type collectors box packaging.  They have a tricky little USB charging cradle.  They have a companion iPhone audio program that has dozens of audio profile adjustments and other tweaky Millennial thingies which I ignored.  The default sound is fine.  They are on a flat wire that you can loop around the back of your neck.  They have multiple secure-fit ear thingies.  They work ok but I’ve been losing the little ear buds and I’ve found them hit or miss on the security side.  I’ve had my best luck jamming the earbud deep into my ears and looping the wire over my right ear to support the mic.  The challenge with this deep-jamming methodology is that they become totally noise cancelling which isn’t always a good thing when you’re running in traffic. The plastic wing-thingies that are supposed to grip onto the inside curve of your ears work, but I find them a bit stiff so that they make my ears sore after a while.  They are supposed to work for making calls.  When I’ve tried that the people on the other end can’t hear me.  I’m probably doing something wrong.  The Bluetooth set up and sync works great. Actually, too well.  They will sync to my phone and my computer and my car and sometimes I have no idea what they are connecting to until I notice sound coming out.  I do love the hands-free, wire-free experience.  You can put your iPhone in a plastic bag and stick it in your pocket or in your backpack.  That’s very convenient and safer for the iPhone.  They claim an 8 hour battery life.  I haven’t taken them much beyond 4-5 hours but they made it that far. The bottom line here is that I tried to kill these headphones and couldn’t.  I’m going to keep trying.  I do have some challenges keeping them in my ears but I do appreciate them and they have helped make some long runs much more enjoyable.  Again, I don’t make any money off it, but the links are in the show notes. That’s it.  I did have some lady offer me a mattress to test.  That’s interesting, huh?  How exactly would I test it?  That’s a topic for an entirely different podcast.  I’ll see you out there.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-375 – Leadville Father and Son  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4375.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast.  My name is Chris.  I'll be your host for today. And for that I am truly grateful.  I guess you could say I'm your senior citizen of endurance sports.  We've got a lot to talk about today.   “We need to talk.” – no, seriously, today's show is going to be chock-a-block with racing and running.  It is that time of year, right?  This is the end of the summer training campaign where we put all the chips down and race.  We take the test at the end of the term. Sometimes we pass, sometimes we fail.  Either way we learn.  And then we slide into the winter solstice of our training.  A celebration lap of Thanksgiving races and solstice celebrations.  It is the cycle of our lives.  Along the way today, between the racing talk, there may even be some other thoughts.  I can never be sure once I start writing!  In fact, the act of writing an episode is a bit like toeing the line at a race.  I never know what's actually going to happen.  Until I get out there and feel the race.  That's the good part.  That's the uncertainty that keeps us moving forward. Today we'll have a couple of race reports probably and I try to squeeze something important out of Eric and his son Zach who ended up running Leadville together and serendipitously finishing together. I am still quite busy in my life.  I have raced twice since we last talked.  And, I see many of you have raced as well.  I see your smiling faces and sweat-shiny bodies sprawled exultantly in the grass of a finish line, exhausted and triumphant!  Good for you.  You've cracked the code.  You've sipped from the well of knowledge that is endurance sports. Race weeks are actually less busy for me. My workouts are shorter and less intense.  For me these were local races so there were fewer logistics as well.  Basically I just have to lay out my kit and set the alarm.  Like I said, this is the end of my season.  This is the old cadence.  Train through the summer and race in the fall.  Now, whether you've made your goals or not, you cycle down.  It can be a full-on rest. Or it can be a change of pace.  But you need to cycle to refresh.  You can't balance on that edge of race fitness for too long.  It's a peak condition.  A point on the curve.  Now you cycle down and start, in reality, building momentum for the next cycle, the next peak.  The mistake people make is to load up a bunch of races in a row and just keep trying to execute.  When I do this I settle into a sort of mediocre purgatory of performance and enjoyment.  Life has rhythms.  You need to breath in and breathe out the physical and mental cycles to get your most fulfillment and best performance.  … Last episode I did a pep-talk piece on why we should all stop complaining and just show up and race.  I want to make sure that you understand when I do these oratory type pieces I am not focused on any specific individual.  Actually, I am focused on one specific individual; me.  Yeah, that's right when I drop into lecture or inspirational talk mode, most of the time I'm not talking to you.  I'm talking to me.  These pieces are a way of me sorting through my thoughts, emotions and fears.  To get them down on the paper (yeah I still write with a pen in a notebook sometimes).  To tease out the ‘why am I feeling this way?'  and ‘Why did I do this stupid thing?' and ‘What can I learn from it?' I know it feels sometimes like I'm talking about you or to you, and I am, in a way because the human comedy has the same patterns.  If it resonates with you that's great.  Any similarities to persons living or dead are purely coincidental.  On with the show. … I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-374 – Jonathan Trains Hard to Qualify  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4374.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello, good morning maybe, and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-374, but who's really counting anymore?  This is the endurance sports podcast where we dole out such useful tips as ‘don't eat curry for lunch if you have a speed workout planned for the afternoon'  Good thing there's a public restroom on the Esplanade where I run now.  That was like a scene from Alien.  Oh, sorry, that was a little rough right out of the gates wasn't it?  The weather is finally turning colder now so we are getting some relief from the hot humid days we've suffered through all summer.  The leaves are doing their fall leaf thing.  I'm sitting in my home office typing on a new keyboard that arrived for my Surface.  I like this Surface. I've had it for 3 years now.  I use it like a laptop. It's got an excellent form factor for travel.  It's classified as a tablet so you can keep it on during takeoff and landing.  It does everything I need to do but my keyboard went wonky on me this week and started adding extra letters into my sentences. Today I have a chat with Jonathan who, at the time we had this conversation was training for a BQ attempt.  If I can manage it I'm going to do this as the first of a 3-part series.  He missed his goal at his first race by a couple minutes and is currently scheduled to try again in a couple weeks.  I think it would be interesting for you to see both the physical and emotional arc of missing your goal and extending your cycle to double down.  He's got a great back story.  Check out the links in the show notes.  He's a physician and was a pack-a-day 400+ guy in his residency and turned his health, and his life, around with endurance sports.  I've also got a quick race report for the Maine marathon I ran since last we talked and in section two a pep talk on using our endurance in life.  … I'm going to throw in a couple product reviews today.  The first one is some socks.  I'm a big believer in good athletic socks when you're going long.  They help keep your feet healthy.  But, other than that I can run in just about any athletic sock.  I tend to like the short socks now.  I got like 10 pair from ASICS when I ran the New York City Marathon for them and they have survived very well. I typically tear through the big toe after a few months in regular socks.  I still have most of these, so they are pretty tough.  A couple weeks ago I got a couple pair of socks from an outfit called nice laundry.  Now, there is nothing super special about the tech socks they sent.  Good, tough tech material, reinforced in the heel and toe.  Good socks.  I don't make any money off this but if you're interested the link is in the show notes.  There is something very special about the second pair they sent me.  They are 1980's style tube socks that are tech socks.  You know the ones I'm talking about.  Remember like Larry Bird style socks? Maybe 8 inches up the calf, white socks with the two colored stripes at the top?  Yeah, those.  Now I can show up at a race with my fashion-disaster short shorts AND a pair of 1980's, retro tube socks to race in!  It totally completes my fashion disaster protocol.  Socks are the next thing.  Our over-financed friends in Silicon Valley have decide that socks are the next accessory.  We've done away with ties.  Have to find something else to differentiate yourself from the fashion herd.  It's socks now.  Socks as a service.  On with the show. … I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

Section two – Smile and Muddle Through - Outro Ok my friends you have run very quickly to the end of episode 4-374 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Let's go for a cool-down and stretch a bit, shall we? After the Maine Marathon I decide to double down and run BayState in a couple weeks. It's a flatish course design for qualifying.  I've qualified there twice.  I know the course.  My buddies Frank and Brian are running so Hopefully we can pace each other.  Based on the Maine marathon I'm in good enough shape to run a fast race on the right day.  I'm going to run the Groton Town Forest 10 miler tomorrow as a workout.  I'll go out easy for the first 3 miles then race it in.  Should be fun. It's a difficult course and one of my favorites.  It's one of my club races and I do love to support the club.  I've adjusted to the new work schedule. The most challenging part has been burning in new habits.  I take the train in with Teresa. Most mornings I'll where my workout stuff and do my workout early then shower up for work. The logistical challenge is remembering to bring everything you need for both activities and doing so either at night before you go to bed or in the morning before you head in.  So far I have forgotten, a belt, my office keys, my car keys, and my wallet and my shaving stuff – on different days this month.  No big deal – I just work around it.  One day this week I was throwing my workout stuff into my backpack – BTW I've found a use for the backpack that ASICS gave me – and I grabbed what I thought were my Hokas, but they ended up being a 6-year old pair of Brooks Launch that had been retired to lawn mowing long ago. I had an easy run on the schedule.  I just wore the old shoes.  I mean I ran a few hundred miles in those shoes at some point so I should be able to jog around the city in them for an hour!   See?  Smikle and muddle through.  It all works out.  I quick update of Buddy the old Wonder dog.  He's doing ok.  He's shrinking. Literally shrinking.  He appreciates the colder weather but he can't run much anymore.  His back end bothers him and he's slow getting up and down.  Just like me, he doesn't' know he's old.  He sleeps all day and gets bored still.  He's happy, but that's built into his DNA.  … Another product I want to give you a review on is a pair of Bluetooth Headphones I've been trying to kill.  I got these sent to me in June by a company called Jaybird Wireless. They are the X3 – sweat proof, secure fit.  I have not been able to kill them. You see my super-power is sweat.  Not just any sweat, toxic Chris sweat. You folks are privy to the kind of workouts I do in all kinds of weather. Most headphones I've used that claim to be sweat-proof are not Chris-Sweat-Proof.  They last a couple weeks and I kill them.  I have not been able to kill these. The closest I got was one long workout in July when I filled them with so much fluid that they sounded like they were underwater.  I thought that was it, but they bounced back.  They survived the sweat filled days of July and august. They survived multiple of those as long runs.  They survive the occasional rainy tempest – like the back half of the Wapack Trial race.  At this point I'm willing to concede that these things are tough.  The only thing I managed to kill was the little blue light that comes on when you put them in the charging cradle.  That does not come on anymore.  But they still charge. They come in an overly complex iPhone type collectors box packaging.  They have a tricky little USB charging cradle.  They have a companion iPhone audio program that has dozens of audio profile adjustments and other tweaky Millennial thingies which I ignored.  The default sound is fine.  They are on a flat wire that you can loop around the back of your neck.  They have multiple secure-fit ear thingies.  They work ok but I've been losing the little ear buds and I've found them hit or miss on the security side.  I've had my best luck jamming the earbud deep into my ears and looping the wire over my right ear to support the mic.  The challenge with this deep-jamming methodology is that they become totally noise cancelling which isn't always a good thing when you're running in traffic. The plastic wing-thingies that are supposed to grip onto the inside curve of your ears work, but I find them a bit stiff so that they make my ears sore after a while.  They are supposed to work for making calls.  When I've tried that the people on the other end can't hear me.  I'm probably doing something wrong.  The Bluetooth set up and sync works great. Actually, too well.  They will sync to my phone and my computer and my car and sometimes I have no idea what they are connecting to until I notice sound coming out.  I do love the hands-free, wire-free experience.  You can put your iPhone in a plastic bag and stick it in your pocket or in your backpack.  That's very convenient and safer for the iPhone.  They claim an 8 hour battery life.  I haven't taken them much beyond 4-5 hours but they made it that far. The bottom line here is that I tried to kill these headphones and couldn't.  I'm going to keep trying.  I do have some challenges keeping them in my ears but I do appreciate them and they have helped make some long runs much more enjoyable.  Again, I don't make any money off it, but the links are in the show notes. That's it.  I did have some lady offer me a mattress to test.  That's interesting, huh?  How exactly would I test it?  That's a topic for an entirely different podcast.  I'll see you out there.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-374 – Jonathan Trains Hard to Qualify  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4374.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello, good morning maybe, and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-374, but who’s really counting anymore?  This is the endurance sports podcast where we dole out such useful tips as ‘don’t eat curry for lunch if you have a speed workout planned for the afternoon’  Good thing there’s a public restroom on the Esplanade where I run now.  That was like a scene from Alien.  Oh, sorry, that was a little rough right out of the gates wasn’t it?  The weather is finally turning colder now so we are getting some relief from the hot humid days we’ve suffered through all summer.  The leaves are doing their fall leaf thing.  I’m sitting in my home office typing on a new keyboard that arrived for my Surface.  I like this Surface. I’ve had it for 3 years now.  I use it like a laptop. It’s got an excellent form factor for travel.  It’s classified as a tablet so you can keep it on during takeoff and landing.  It does everything I need to do but my keyboard went wonky on me this week and started adding extra letters into my sentences. Today I have a chat with Jonathan who, at the time we had this conversation was training for a BQ attempt.  If I can manage it I’m going to do this as the first of a 3-part series.  He missed his goal at his first race by a couple minutes and is currently scheduled to try again in a couple weeks.  I think it would be interesting for you to see both the physical and emotional arc of missing your goal and extending your cycle to double down.  He’s got a great back story.  Check out the links in the show notes.  He’s a physician and was a pack-a-day 400+ guy in his residency and turned his health, and his life, around with endurance sports.  I’ve also got a quick race report for the Maine marathon I ran since last we talked and in section two a pep talk on using our endurance in life.  … I’m going to throw in a couple product reviews today.  The first one is some socks.  I’m a big believer in good athletic socks when you’re going long.  They help keep your feet healthy.  But, other than that I can run in just about any athletic sock.  I tend to like the short socks now.  I got like 10 pair from ASICS when I ran the New York City Marathon for them and they have survived very well. I typically tear through the big toe after a few months in regular socks.  I still have most of these, so they are pretty tough.  A couple weeks ago I got a couple pair of socks from an outfit called nice laundry.  Now, there is nothing super special about the tech socks they sent.  Good, tough tech material, reinforced in the heel and toe.  Good socks.  I don’t make any money off this but if you’re interested the link is in the show notes.  There is something very special about the second pair they sent me.  They are 1980’s style tube socks that are tech socks.  You know the ones I’m talking about.  Remember like Larry Bird style socks? Maybe 8 inches up the calf, white socks with the two colored stripes at the top?  Yeah, those.  Now I can show up at a race with my fashion-disaster short shorts AND a pair of 1980’s, retro tube socks to race in!  It totally completes my fashion disaster protocol.  Socks are the next thing.  Our over-financed friends in Silicon Valley have decide that socks are the next accessory.  We’ve done away with ties.  Have to find something else to differentiate yourself from the fashion herd.  It’s socks now.  Socks as a service.  On with the show. … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-369 – Vybarr and the Muse of Running  (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4369.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends, and welcome to episode 4-369, of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Rolling into July and the dog days of summer.  I don’t have any race reports for you this week, but I do have an excellent interview with Vybarr who wrote a book about running.  We have a great chat. I kicked the 5 at 5 project on July 1st!  So, I officially made it 32 days.  Now I’m playing around with some speedwork and getting ready to train for a fall race.  There are a couple I’m looking at.  Both reasonably flat.   My old Buddy Brian is back training again so we did a couple longish runs on the weekend. First one was out and about Groton with Frank.  Frank, Brian and I started marathon training together in the late 90’s! It’s cool to run with them.  Now that they’ve slowed down to my pace again.  Frank had that hip resurfacing that we talked about and Brian had a foot problem that caused him to take a year off.  We cranked out 14ish miles. This week, I met Brian and Ryan on the BayState course in Lowell and we did a loop around the river of another 14 miles.  It was hot, but we lucked out because they were having a triathlon in the river.  We got to refill our bottles a couple times.  We closed the last 1/3 of a mile pretty hard.  Felt good. My legs are in great shape and my aerobic fitness is good.  I just don’t have and leg speed. I bought a pair of Brooks Launch off the internet for $60.  They are lighter and less cushion than the Hokas.  It’s challenging to do speedwork in the Hoka Challengers because they are so squishy in the forefoot.  The launch are more responsive.  Takes a while to break them in and get comfortable after running in the Hokas for so long.  I ran to the local high school track the Wednesday after the fourth.  If you ever read any of my stories about track workouts – this is that track.  I have spent hundreds of miles there.  The old track was heavily used.  15 – 20 years ago I learned where every pot hole and puddle was.  I could run that  track in the dark.  A couple years ago they finally resurfaced it.  It was a nice new track.  Then I noticed it started getting cracks and grass was growing through it in places.  They called whoever installed it and made them do it again.  Now it’s a new, new track. Anyhow I was curious as to my leg speed after not having done any speedwork for a couple years.  I ran down there.  Now, in my mind I eyeballed the distance and it felt like 2 – 2.5 miles.  Of course it’s actually 3.5 miles from my house.  That’s a bit of a warm up.  When I got there, I loosened up, stretched out and did mile as hard as I felt I could.   My legs felt like cement.  I was really dragging them, no pop.  I managed somewhere in the 6:30 mile range.  Not horribly disappointing.  I think the next big landmark for me in my slow slide into decrepitude will be when I can’t run a 1600 in the pace I used to run a marathon at!  (My marathon PR is a 3:06:40 at Boston in 1998 – which is a 7:11 pace.)  Not to be discouraged, I went back down this week and did a set of 8 X 400 at an aggressive pace.  They came in around 1:35, which isn’t bad, it’s like a 6:15-6:20 pace, but what was encouraging is that I was able to feel that speed form.  Still not much pop, but good strength and form.  And I went back out Thursday in the rain and did a set of 800’s at tempo pace, coming in around a 6:50 pace. I think in 3 weeks of speedwork I could get most of my pop back.  Not super-useful for marathon training, but at this point I’m really just benchmarking speed with effort and heartrate before I start my next training cycle.  Coach hates when I do useless speedwork.  … Did you see the post I put up about the Chinese scientist who demonstrated quantum entanglement this week?  I’ll try to give you the summary. Forgive me, I’m not a physicist, but I have always liked particle physics for some reason.   This is the stuff that goes on sub-atomic or smaller than an atom.  Atom is a word that the Greeks made up because they theorized that if you took matter apart you’d eventually find the smallest building block.  From the Greeks up to the 20th century this was the atom.  Then smart mathematicians and physicists figured out that atoms where made up of smaller bits, and those smaller bits were made up of even smaller bits. “Turtles all the way down is the old joke about this, it’s called ‘infinite regression’. And the physics, the way these particles interact with each other gets stranger all the time.  In quantum entanglement two particles, in this case photons, which are particles of light, are behaviorally connected regardless of the distance that separates them.   Meaning that if you do something to one of the particles, it also happens instantaneously to the entangled particle, NO MATTER WHERE THAT OTHER PARTCLE IS. Einstein called this “Spooky action at a distance” and said it could not be true because it violates known quantum physics.  The cool part is the instantaneous part.  This means that something is travelling faster than the speed of light, which breaks all the rules.  So anyhow the Chinese measured quantum entanglement between two photons last week.  One on earth and the other in a satellite in space. The SciFi part of this is that if you consider the entanglement a form of information or data, you could say, as the journalists did, that they transported a photon to space.  Pretty cool huh?  There’s a lot we don’t know and some of it is cool. Oh yeah – In section one I am sticking in chapter 9 from my marathonBQ audio book.  I had this guy with a great Midwest voice record it for me in his studio.  This is the version that’s on audible.  This chapter is about what you need to bring with you if you’re going to be doing speedwork down at the track.  Was thinking about this topic when I was down at the track this week. In section two I’ll talk about dealing with uncertainty. On with the show! … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

He has a popular blog, , and has written on and been interviewed about running in major publications all over the world. He has also written numerous articles and essays for academic journals and a book on Victorian culture, Discovering Gilgamesh. Running is not just a sport. It reconnects us to our bodies and the places in which we live, breaking down our increasingly structured and demanding lives. It allows us to feel the world beneath our feet, lifts the spirit, lets our minds out to play, and helps us to slip away from the demands of the modern world. When Vybarr Cregan-Reid set out to discover why running means so much to so many, he began a journey which would take him out to tread London’s cobbled streets, the boulevards of Paris, and down the crumbling alleyways of Ruskin’s Venice. Footnotes transports you to the deserted shorelines of Seattle, the giant redwood forests of California, and to the world’s most advanced running laboratories and research centers. Using debates in literature, philosophy, neuroscience, and biology, this book explores that simple human desire to run. Liberating and inspiring, Footnotes reminds us why feeling the earth beneath our feet is a necessary and healing part of our lives. "Here is a book in which the striding energy of the prose matches its subject."  ​— Iain Sinclair, author of American Smoke   "Wonderfully authoritative vindication of what ought to be a self-evident truth: that running should be about being alive, not being a consumer." — ​Richard Askwith, author of Running Free   "Insightful and intoxicating. Vybarr Cregan-Reid's book makes you take your shoes off and run through a world of ideas about nature." — Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves and A Certain Age   "Footnotes is a blazing achievement. It burns with restless energy as Cregan-Reid, alive, alert, wholly and gloriously present, sets out his manifesto that running makes us human" — Kate Norbury, author of The Fish Ladder … Section two – Uncertainty  -   Outro OK my friends, have read the collective works of end of episode 4-369 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Good for you.  Since we last talked I took Buddy down for his annual checkup and shots.  He’s healthy as he can be for an old man of 14 years old.   He loves the vet.  They give him food and say nice things to him. I told them he had gone totally deaf over the last 6 months. They said that’s normal and if it didn’t bother him, which it doesn’t, then there’s nothing to worry about.   It actually helps this time of year with the thunderstorms, fireworks and for some reason the coyotes being super vocal at night.  He’s also lost 7-8 pounds since last year.  A lot of it is muscle mass from getting older.  He also leaned up running with me most days in June during the 5 at 5 project.  I noticed the same thing in my own body.  You just lose muscle mass as you get older.  I think I’m going to run the Portland Maine marathon on Oct. 1st.  That’s a bit of a short training cycle for me but I’m in pretty good shape already.  If you want to come up it’s a flat marathon in southern Maine.  Plenty of places to stay and we’ll have some fun.  It’s been weird rainy and cool weather into July now.  My Raspberries are coming in.  I get about a pint a day – even after the birds take their share.  With all the rain I’m having a mold issue.  My tomatoes are going gang busters.  We’ll see if they fruit out well.  Need some hot weather for that.  … Had a bit of a long week this week.  We had lost a young family member in my wife’s family.  Same age as my kids. It’s always a tragedy when we lose the young.  Makes you think.  Rightly or wrongly it makes you reflect on your own life and your own family and the fragility of this life. Folks, hold those you love tightly.  Don’t waste time on petty things.  Forget slights real and imagined.  Reach out and hold the people who need you.  Right now, today, you can do one thing.  You can turn on your love light and let it shine. I’ll see you out there. And thank you for being my friend.    MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

I bought a pair of Brooks Launch off the internet for $60.  They are lighter and less cushion than the Hokas.  It's challenging to do speedwork in the Hoka Challengers because they are so squishy in the forefoot.  The launch are more responsive.  Takes a while to break them in and get comfortable after running in the Hokas for so long.  I ran to the local high school track the Wednesday after the fourth.  If you ever read any of my stories about track workouts – this is that track.  I have spent hundreds of miles there.  The old track was heavily used.  15 – 20 years ago I learned where every pot hole and puddle was.  I could run that  track in the dark.  A couple years ago they finally resurfaced it.  It was a nice new track.  Then I noticed it started getting cracks and grass was growing through it in places.  They called whoever installed it and made them do it again.  Now it's a new, new track. Anyhow I was curious as to my leg speed after not having done any speedwork for a couple years.  I ran down there.  Now, in my mind I eyeballed the distance and it felt like 2 – 2.5 miles.  Of course it's actually 3.5 miles from my house.  That's a bit of a warm up.  When I got there, I loosened up, stretched out and did mile as hard as I felt I could.   My legs felt like cement.  I was really dragging them, no pop.  I managed somewhere in the 6:30 mile range.  Not horribly disappointing.  I think the next big landmark for me in my slow slide into decrepitude will be when I can't run a 1600 in the pace I used to run a marathon at!  (My marathon PR is a 3:06:40 at Boston in 1998 – which is a 7:11 pace.)  Not to be discouraged, I went back down this week and did a set of 8 X 400 at an aggressive pace.  They came in around 1:35, which isn't bad, it's like a 6:15-6:20 pace, but what was encouraging is that I was able to feel that speed form.  Still not much pop, but good strength and form.  And I went back out Thursday in the rain and did a set of 800's at tempo pace, coming in around a 6:50 pace. I think in 3 weeks of speedwork I could get most of my pop back.  Not super-useful for marathon training, but at this point I'm really just benchmarking speed with effort and heartrate before I start my next training cycle.  Coach hates when I do useless speedwork.  … Did you see the post I put up about the Chinese scientist who demonstrated quantum entanglement this week?  I'll try to give you the summary. Forgive me, I'm not a physicist, but I have always liked particle physics for some reason.   This is the stuff that goes on sub-atomic or smaller than an atom.  Atom is a word that the Greeks made up because they theorized that if you took matter apart you'd eventually find the smallest building block.  From the Greeks up to the 20th century this was the atom.  Then smart mathematicians and physicists figured out that atoms where made up of smaller bits, and those smaller bits were made up of even smaller bits. “Turtles all the way down is the old joke about this, it's called ‘infinite regression'. And the physics, the way these particles interact with each other gets stranger all the time.  In quantum entanglement two particles, in this case photons, which are particles of light, are behaviorally connected regardless of the distance that separates them.   Meaning that if you do something to one of the particles, it also happens instantaneously to the entangled particle, NO MATTER WHERE THAT OTHER PARTCLE IS. Einstein called this “Spooky action at a distance” and said it could not be true because it violates known quantum physics.  The cool part is the instantaneous part.  This means that something is travelling faster than the speed of light, which breaks all the rules.  So anyhow the Chinese measured quantum entanglement between two photons last week.  One on earth and the other in a satellite in space. The SciFi part of this is that if you consider the entanglement a form of information or data, you could say, as the journalists did, that they transported a photon to space.  Pretty cool huh?  There's a lot we don't know and some of it is cool. Oh yeah – In section one I am sticking in chapter 9 from my marathonBQ audio book.  I had this guy with a great Midwest voice record it for me in his studio.  This is the version that's on audible.  This chapter is about what you need to bring with you if you're going to be doing speedwork down at the track.  Was thinking about this topic when I was down at the track this week. In section two I'll talk about dealing with uncertainty. On with the show! … I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

He has a popular blog, , and has written on and been interviewed about running in major publications all over the world. He has also written numerous articles and essays for academic journals and a book on Victorian culture, Discovering Gilgamesh. Running is not just a sport. It reconnects us to our bodies and the places in which we live, breaking down our increasingly structured and demanding lives. It allows us to feel the world beneath our feet, lifts the spirit, lets our minds out to play, and helps us to slip away from the demands of the modern world. When Vybarr Cregan-Reid set out to discover why running means so much to so many, he began a journey which would take him out to tread London's cobbled streets, the boulevards of Paris, and down the crumbling alleyways of Ruskin's Venice. Footnotes transports you to the deserted shorelines of Seattle, the giant redwood forests of California, and to the world's most advanced running laboratories and research centers. Using debates in literature, philosophy, neuroscience, and biology, this book explores that simple human desire to run. Liberating and inspiring, Footnotes reminds us why feeling the earth beneath our feet is a necessary and healing part of our lives. "Here is a book in which the striding energy of the prose matches its subject."  ​— Iain Sinclair, author of American Smoke   "Wonderfully authoritative vindication of what ought to be a self-evident truth: that running should be about being alive, not being a consumer." — ​Richard Askwith, author of Running Free   "Insightful and intoxicating. Vybarr Cregan-Reid's book makes you take your shoes off and run through a world of ideas about nature." — Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves and A Certain Age   "Footnotes is a blazing achievement. It burns with restless energy as Cregan-Reid, alive, alert, wholly and gloriously present, sets out his manifesto that running makes us human" — Kate Norbury, author of The Fish Ladder … Section two – Uncertainty  -   Outro OK my friends, have read the collective works of end of episode 4-369 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Good for you.  Since we last talked I took Buddy down for his annual checkup and shots.  He's healthy as he can be for an old man of 14 years old.   He loves the vet.  They give him food and say nice things to him. I told them he had gone totally deaf over the last 6 months. They said that's normal and if it didn't bother him, which it doesn't, then there's nothing to worry about.   It actually helps this time of year with the thunderstorms, fireworks and for some reason the coyotes being super vocal at night.  He's also lost 7-8 pounds since last year.  A lot of it is muscle mass from getting older.  He also leaned up running with me most days in June during the 5 at 5 project.  I noticed the same thing in my own body.  You just lose muscle mass as you get older.  I think I'm going to run the Portland Maine marathon on Oct. 1st.  That's a bit of a short training cycle for me but I'm in pretty good shape already.  If you want to come up it's a flat marathon in southern Maine.  Plenty of places to stay and we'll have some fun.  It's been weird rainy and cool weather into July now.  My Raspberries are coming in.  I get about a pint a day – even after the birds take their share.  With all the rain I'm having a mold issue.  My tomatoes are going gang busters.  We'll see if they fruit out well.  Need some hot weather for that.  … Had a bit of a long week this week.  We had lost a young family member in my wife's family.  Same age as my kids. It's always a tragedy when we lose the young.  Makes you think.  Rightly or wrongly it makes you reflect on your own life and your own family and the fragility of this life. Folks, hold those you love tightly.  Don't waste time on petty things.  Forget slights real and imagined.  Reach out and hold the people who need you.  Right now, today, you can do one thing.  You can turn on your love light and let it shine. I'll see you out there. And thank you for being my friend.    MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -

Derek has had well-known coaches such as Ben Rosario and Danny Mackey. Derek is also an honorary member of the Brooks Beast Distance Group.  How did you get started in running? Some of our listeners are going to know you from Twitter as DDRitzenhein, the Hub of Distance Running if you can give us a little info about how you started getting connected to so many great distance runners and coaches? You are one of the most active Twitter users I know, you have sent over 330k tweets. So how did this passion that you have now become so strong? You are an honorary member of the Brooks Beast Pro Distance Running Group and the Melbourne Track Club & brand ambassador for Run Gum. How did these relationships develop? One of the most interesting things is your training. It appears that you get trained by a different coach/athlete ever week is that correct? How did this start and who did you first work with on this project? Who are some of the most memorable that come to mind when you think of all the coaches you have had? When you switch from one coach to the next how does that work with your training for events? Are you currently training for any specific races? How do you blend one week into the next? You have seen more training from more great coaches than probably just about any distance runner. So what have you learned from this experience? Are there any common themes you notice between all the successful coaches? Who has given you the most challenging week yet? What are some of the most memorable workouts you have done?

Episode 21 of Final Surge Podcast with our guest Coach and Dr Richard Hansen of the Roots Running Project. Richie is a chiropractor specializing in sports medicine and more specifically runners, and is a coach of an up and comping post collegiate team who’s runners include The Noah Droddy. I think you are going to really enjoy this. We start out talking about his coaching experiences, Noah and then turn to injuries, strength videos and pool walking. If you enjoy this episode please take a moment to rate us on iTunes and send a thank you tweet to Dr Hansen. Now onto the show. I want to break this up into a couple of parts first talking about your coaching and post collegiate groups and then talking about your other life as a highly respected chiropractor specializing in running related injuries. First let's' find out how you got here. Can you tell us about how you got your start in running early on? Was it your goal when you moved to Boulder to get into coaching? We have seen a resurgence of American distance runners over the last decade. How much do you see the explosion of post collegiate running groups playing a part in that. When someone is thinking about joining post collegiate group, there are two groups first is the elite runners the first team all Americans in cross and then there are the larger group of very good college runners, but not elite, who want to see how much they can continue to improve. For that second group who should consider continuing on training on their own vs. looking for a group like yours? Probably your best known runner is Noah Droddy. Of course he is known as that guy with the long hair and mustache in the 10k at the Olympic trials who became an internet sensation but really the thing even more impressive than his hair, I understand he went from a 14:30 5k runner to running 14:10 splits in the 10k. What did you guys do different to see that dramatic improvement? You know you have made an impact when people are dressing up as you for halloween as we saw on Twitter. Is he as big of a character in real life as he comes across? Hows his racing been going since the Trials? Let’s switch gears a little… Now you have coached everything from high school to olympic trials qualifiers, and your primary profession is as a chiropractor at high altitude spine and sports. So let's get into injuries. I want to break this down into segments. Let's start with high school runners. We have a lot of high school coaches who listen to this. In high school, as you know from your coaching days, a team usually has everything from a new runner who does other sports but not track to those who has never run before to those going for state. What are the most common injuries and causes you see high school boys and girls. With shin splints you will often have a coach send the athlete into the school trainer and the trainer will say ice and roll it out a little. They are obviously treating the symptoms not the cause. What is the most common causes? When you coached high school athletes, were there any extensive warm up and cool down routines and did you design them around injury prevention? You showed me a tape job last summer for relieving shin splints for runners. Do you have a video online anywhere so others can see it? Now this runner, they go off to college, and likely have a more extensive strength routine there than they did in high school. When you get a runner out of college joining your club what are you seeing as deficiencies that are leading to injuries? There are a lot of videos online and on youtube. are there any hip/strength routines that are maybe online that you recommend? (See resources below) When one of my runners gets an injury I always send them to two local guys here who I know, know runners. Sometimes they don't take my advice and will go see a Physical therapist who often times honestly don't really help them much. So the question is When someone in our audience, who doesn't live in Boulder has an injury they want checked out, tell us how they can go about finding a someone who should be able to help get them back running. One thing you got me doing was pool walking after a run. Can you talk about why you are such a fan? Now someone is out with a running group for a long run, gets back to the car has to drive home for 20 to 25 minutes, and will often stop for a coffee on the way home… is that still a good thing for them to get into the pool 30-40 minutes later after they are done their run? If someone wanted to reach out to you, you have your roots running podcast they can listen to… how else can they reach you?   Rapid Fire... 5 questions in under 1 minute Favorite running book? - Once a runner and Road to the Top Current trainers you are wearing? - Brooks Launch and Nike Lunar 3 Favorite race? - Half marathon and Payton Jordan Track Festival Favorite recovery meal or recovery drink? - Italian Soda and Fish Tacos Your favorite piece of running equipment that is not your shoes? - Pool or compression sleeves Resources in this episode Richard Hansen on Core Jay Johnson Videos Gray Cook Mike Young Jim Radcliffe hip mobility Hansen Links: Roots Running Sessions Podcast Roots Running site Roots Running Twitter Dr Hansen Twitter Dr Hansen High Altitude Clinic
