Podcasts about endurance running

The DescriptionIn this inspiring follow-up conversation, I speak once again with ultra-runner Jamie Vidler, fresh from completing his extraordinary 250k ultra challenge across the Pembrokeshire coastal paths. Over five days of mainly relentless mud, wind, and rain - with just one sunny day to start - Jamie not only faced the brutal physical demands of the terrain but also confronted the internal challenges that long-distance endurance brings.Running this ultra wasn't just about distance, it was about raising awareness and funds for Big Moose, a charity dedicated to providing free therapy for those who need it but cannot afford it.Alongside his full-time corporate job in retail and his ongoing training as a breathwork coach, Jamie found the time and commitment to prepare for this immense challenge. In our conversation, he shares the lessons of resilience, the deep inner awareness that emerged, and the reflections that only an experience of this intensity can bring.This is a story of endurance, growth, and the power of pushing beyond what we think is possible, both in body and in mind.For more information on Jamie's ultra running, and how to donate have a look here:

In this show, I share 40 mind-blowing assertions to recalibrate modern fitness philosophy, inspired by content in the book Born to Walk, written by me and Mark Sisson. Walking is universally health-boosting, delivers excellent aerobic conditioning, stabilizes energy, mood, and appetite, and carries near zero overuse injury risk. In contrast, endurance running—even at a comfortable pace—is too physically stressful for the vast majority of participants, promotes breakdown, burnout, and chronic injury, and is most likely bad for your health when done in the typical modern manner. You’ll hear why walking is a genetic expectation for health, why most endurance exercise should be conducted at or below your fat max heart rate, and how chronic cardio promotes stress hormone overproduction, suppressed immune function, and visceral fat storage. I also explain why elevated cushioned shoes enable poor running technique, drive injuries, and why recreational endurance running has only been possible in modern times because of them. Key points from this episode: Walking is universally health-boosting and delivers excellent aerobic conditioning with minimal risk Running is too strenuous and stressful for most participants; walking should be the baseline Fat max heart rate (180 minus age) is the true measure for energizing, fat-burning cardio Chronic cardio promotes overuse injury, stress hormone overproduction, suppressed immunity, and visceral fat Elevated cushioned shoes enable poor running technique and are the driver of chronic injury rates The most celebrated endurance events (marathon, Ironman) are antithetical to health and fueled by marketing hype Humans never ran for recreation until the modern running boom; ancestral movement was built on walking, strength, sprints, and play Learn more at BornToWalkBook.com, where you can also download the free PDF resource with all 40 assertions and more tools for building lifelong health.

Summary In this episode, Coach Bala discusses the importance of establishing a consistent running rhythm as the new season begins. He emphasizes the significance of conversational pace running, which should comprise 70-80% of a runner's training. The conversation covers the differences between aerobic and anaerobic states, how to find and adjust your conversational pace, and the need to adapt to summer conditions. Coach Bala encourages runners to focus on their breathing and to be patient as they work towards their ideal conversational pace.   Takeaways Week one of the regular season is complete. Establishing a consistent rhythm is crucial for runners. Conversational pace running is essential for endurance. Aerobic state allows for better performance than anaerobic state. Slow down to find your conversational pace. Breathing patterns indicate if you're in the right pace. Conversational pace is a journey that takes time to master. Adjust your pace according to weather conditions. Focus on the definition of conversational pace, not past speeds. Celebrate milestones and progress in your running journey.   Chapters 00:00 Welcome to the New Season 06:53 The Importance of Aerobic Training 13:24 Adapting to Summer Conditions

“So then, with endurance, let's also run the race that is laid out in front of us, since we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us. Let's throw off any extra baggage, get rid of the sin that trips us up, and fix our eyes on Jesus, faith's pioneer and perfecter.” Hebrews 12:1-2 CEB Worship Checkin → https://www.tmumc.org/here Online Giving → https://www.tmumc.org/give Upcoming Events → https://www.tmumc.org/events

I am joined by Mark Sisson for the wonderful occasion of a new book coming out—Born To Walk. Tune in to hear us talk all about the book, from the title to what made Mark realize that this story had to be told, what the research about running has actually revealed, and why running is, in many cases, antithetical to good health for a lot of people. You'll hear us talk about the fascinating research we discovered that supports this idea that humans were born to walk, and while we are able to run (and can run occasionally as a result of walking a lot, sprinting once in a while, lifting heavy things, moving around and moving through space and time), we were not born to run metronomic eight-minute miles every day, day in and day out as some means to achieving some longevity goal or some health goal. As you will learn in this episode, the running boom of the last 50 years was built upon a House of Cards, and on the idea that humans are born to run. But, humans were not born to run—we were born to walk, and in this episode, you will find out why!   TIMESTAMPS: We are looking at increasing your longevity through low level aerobic activity. {00:48] The idea that running was the best route to longevity has been downplayed. [05:56] Shoes have made big changes in the way people run. With the thick soled running shoes, there has been no decrease in running injuries. [08:03] Everybody assumes that running is the sort of gold standard of weight loss, of achieving good health, of mental fortitude, and being able to overcome discomfort. [14:32] What is so appealing about a marathon? [16:47] There are much kinder, gentler ways to achieve great health, not get injured and support the other things that you're doing as part of your longevity program. [21:10] Why doesn't running and burning calories work in pursuit of reducing excess body fat? [22:27] There are two kinds of fat.  The subcutaneous fat which is simply unpleasant and the visceral fat which is terribly harmful for your health. [24:51] They promised better results with new cushioned shoes but these shoes have done nothing to decrease injury.  [27:21] Understanding chronic cardio is so important in the endurance scene. You can take a good thing too far. [36:52] Mark had to change the way he pursued his athletic life.   After retiring from elite competition, how did he learn to train at a lower level? [45:09] The Ordeal of the Obligate Runner is the title of one of the chapters.  What does that mean? [48:31] What is the difference between being a sugar burner and a fat burner? [56:54] There is research showing that if you just have a lighter shoe, you save four minutes over a marathon. [01:02:36] We encourage you to walk but you need to learn the proper form. [01:07:06] What is the primal approach for getting more energy? You don't need to run to give yourself immortality [01:18:27]   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad's Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

In this episode, we sit down with Tim Moffatt, a runner who took a unique path into the world of endurance running. Tim's story is inspiring, not just because of his achievements in running, but because of his journey growing up with two wheelchair-bound parents, which shaped his outlook on life and his approach to challenges.   Tim shares how, as a kid, he hated sports but always found joy in walking everywhere, often pushing himself to cover long distances on foot. This love for walking eventually morphed into a passion for running, spurred by the encouragement of friends. His first run was an impulsive 12km race, and from there, his running journey took off.   Tim talks about his experience in road marathons, and how he transitioned into trail running and ultra-endurance events. His story is filled with moments of resilience and determination, like completing the challenging UTA 100km race after never having run a trail race before! Tim's journey will inspire listeners to find joy in the challenge and push their limits, whether they're running their first 5k or tackling an ultra.   Running Tips from Tim: 1.Walk Before You Run: Tim's early years of walking long distances helped build his endurance for running. 2.Start Small, Dream Big: You don't have to start with a marathon—take your time and build up your distance. 3.Be Inspired by Challenges: Don't shy away from tough runs; use them as a way to push your limits. 4.Find Your Own Pace: Running is personal, so listen to your body and find the pace that works for you. 5.Enjoy the Journey: Running is more than just racing—enjoy the adventure and the places it takes you. 6.Be Part of the Community: Running with others or joining a running group can give you extra motivation.   Tune in to hear Tim's incredible story and his tips for embracing the challenges and joys of running!   A couple of BIG favours: 1) please like and review this podcast so more people will discover it :) 2) come on the podcast and talk about your running journey and/or refer someone you'd love me to interview (whether you know them or not :) )  Lets not keep the power of running a secret any more!  Hit me up on Facebook/Instagram (FitMIND FitBODY) or send me an email - Michelle @ FitMINDFitBODY .co    Don't miss an episode of the FitMind FitBODY Podcast.

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This week, we aim to inspire, instill hope, and create opportunities. Many people watch others doing amazing things and think, "That's not for me. I couldn't do that." But the truth is, you can do it if you apply a smart and patient approach that builds incrementally over time. Before you know it, you can look back and marvel at what you have accomplished, regardless of the challenge or goal, whether in sport or life. In this week's episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon focuses on marathon and half marathon races. Half marathons are a great starting point for many people and can serve as a bridge to longer distances. Whether you've struggled with injuries or don't consider yourself a runner, Matt offers insight and tips to help you break through those barriers. Drawing from two case studies, Matt explores the common challenges faced by athletes training for long-distance runs and offers simple solutions to maximize their potential. The first case study features an athlete who initially believed completing a race was impossible, but ultimately discovered untapped capabilities.

"We have to learn to bend before we break,"...What started out as a finish line conversation after a particularly gruelling marathon (in one of Durban's finest displays of humidity), resulted in what you'll hear today. With those words, Jordy nudged us towards a reality that few are prepared to acknowledge, and ultimately forced the question to be asked: what are the limits of endurance? Today is a deep dive and exploration into the human body and how it responds to endurance training with a special focus on HORMONES! Thanks to Jordy's personal experience in covering ultra-distances and his medical training as a doctor, he is able to break down and help us understand how to tread the fine line between exercise being a helpful tool in the pursuit of health and longevity and when we may be short changing ourself and pushing boundaries at the potential risk of, serious and irreparable damage...Today we learn about: What are hormones and why are humans ultimately "hormone puppets" governed by them.How hormones are created and how body fat, digestive health and nutrition are all intimately linked.The 'exercise paradox' and using exercise as a form of medicine/drug.The dark-side of training/or not being able to train and how it relates to our mental health.Training, ageing and longevity in the sport.Learning how to appreciate the plateaus and shifting the goal post when performance-based goals are no longer an option.As you'll hear, Jordy is a master of his craft, both on 'the field' and in the office, he is also a fantastic story teller and will have you rethinking your 'why' when it comes to running - which is always a great idea to revisit and realign with.We hope that today's conversation leaves you feeling both inspired and empowered about your running and your health.Let us know if you enjoyed this 2 part conversation and make sure to share with a running buddy so that we can ensure that we are all able to run stronger for longer.Enjoy!

Trail Runners! Welcome back to Chasing Gold, where we are chatting with some of the front-runners coming to the 2023 Javelina Jundred, hoping to get one of the two coveted Golden Tickets into the 2024 Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run. Today we are welcoming Blake Slattengren! Thumbnail Photo Credit: Somer Kreisman (@somerrunner) Freetrail (@runfreetrail) and Daybreak Racing (@daybreakracing).

Today, I invite you on a journey – not through the physical terrains that typically beckon a runner, but through the untrodden trails of the mind and soul of an extraordinary athlete. Picture an elite runner – what comes to mind? Speed, competition, and perhaps, an unyielding will to win. Now meet Anthony Kunkel. He's swiped titles like the 2017 USATF 50-Mile Road National Champion and the 2018 100-kilometer Road National Champion. But for Kunkel, it's not merely about the race; it's about the transformative journey of biohacking, self-discovery, and deepening spirituality. From the heart of the vibrant mountain town of Durango, Colorado, Anthony founded UltraHouse Durango – a sanctuary for endurance and a testament to his vision of holistic performance. In today's conversation with Anthony, we're venturing beyond the miles and the shoes. Dive into the intricacies of Kunkel's unique food and training strategies, uncover the magic behind his pre-race routines, and gain insights into his experiments with nootropics stacks and their effects on his sleep. We'll also explore the merits of sauna and heat exposure in endurance training and the art of tracking and interpreting biometrics. With every stride we take in this episode, you'll understand the layers of dedication and innovation that have propelled Kunkel to the forefront of ultra-running. Prepare for a marathon of knowledge.

Today, we're joined by an incredible guest, Peter Ryan, a remarkable athlete who has conquered adversity and shattered barriers.Growing up, rural Tipperary was home for Peter. That meant sports and plenty of them. He was very good at soccer and hurling but never pushed himself. In school he followed the crowd and stayed within his lane. He was a coasting through school happy in the knowledge a job in construction would see him through.Then at the age of 19 his eyesight began to fail and he was diagnosed with Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, a rare genetic disorder that left him with between five and ten percent peripheral vision in both eyes. Basically, he was legally blind.In what felt like the blink of an eye what Peter knew as normal had disappeared, his identity was gone and he turned to alcohol to cope. He hit rock bottom before sport saved him and he unleashed the potential within… becoming a Paralympian!Human, brave, honest, funny, a world class athlete… This is Peter Ryan!WebsiteInstagram TwitterFacebook
