In this week's episode, Ange shares a theory that you can use a marathon training program as a tool for scheduling your side hustle tasks. The Sunday long run becomes your project planning, your daily easy run becomes your social media marketing and your threshold training sessions (you know the hard ones) are applied to doing hard things like taxes. We also discuss running things that happened on the internet this week including the Chianti Ultra Trail and marriage proposals during marathons!

In this week's episode, Ange sat down with David and Jade from Sip - two Kiwi's on a mission to hydrate Australia and NZ.

In this week's episode, Ange and Peta consider a quote they came across this week that really impacted them: “Your best is what you can do without harming your physical or mental health, not what you can accomplish when you disregard it” We discuss how we have been socialised to believe that our best is to give it our all regardless of the consequences. And how this feeds into our imposter syndrome and general anxiety about life. Plus you can watch the podcast with your eyes, as well as listening with your ears, on Youtube @startupandrunning.

Start with Small Goals: Brad emphasises setting small, achievable goals when beginning your running journey. It's important not to aim too high initially, such as trying to run a marathon in your first week. 2. Consistency is Key: He advises being consistent with your training. Regular runs, even if they are short, help build endurance and make running a habit. 3. Find What Works for You: Brad highlights the importance of finding a training routine that fits your lifestyle and personal preferences. Everyone is different, so what works for one person might not work for another. 4. Listen to Your Body: Paying attention to how your body feels during and after runs is crucial. It's important to push yourself, but not to the point of injury. 5. Incorporate Variety: Including different types of runs, like sprints and hill training, can improve your overall running performance and keep your training interesting. 6. Use Mantras: Brad suggests using mantras or positive affirmations to stay motivated during tough runs. This mental trick can help you push through difficult parts of your training. 7. Embrace the Community: He talks about the benefits of joining a running community or club. Running with others can provide motivation, support, and a sense of camaraderie. 8. Acknowledge Pain and Growth: Understand that some discomfort is part of the growth process. Recognise when pain is a signal to slow down and when it's a natural part of building strength and endurance. 9. Set Multiple Goals: Brad recommends having A, B, and C goals for races.

If you're looking to take your running to the next level, strategic use of a training log can help you get there. Using a journal to collect your thoughts, plan your goals, and analyze your short and long-term training can provide unique insights to improve as a runner. With that in mind, this week's podcast is a special edition to introduce something I have been working on over the past nine months. Strength Running's own running log - The Performance Training Journal - is now available! The power of reflection is real. While an electronic log on Strava can store your mileage and splits, it doesn't encourage any interaction or reflection. There is little opportunity for growth. While a pencil and paper log may sound archaic these days, the simple act of writing and reflecting has more power to improve your running than any app. If you aren't logging the details of your training, you're missing an opportunity for improvement. This edition of the podcast is meant to help you understand the value of a journal and learn how the Performance Training Journal has been created and refined to help you get the most from your running.  You'll learn how our  journal can help you... Focus on the most useful training metrics  Approach your training to continue improving Gain a better understanding  of your body's capabilities and limitations Find confidence leading into a key event Learn about strength training, injury prevention, race planning and more Get started with the Performance Training Journal today! Thank You Previnex! We're supported by our newest partner, Previnex. After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I'm cautiously changing my tune. I'm less than a year from being a Masters runner and in my personal life, I'm optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen. Previnex uses the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, testing of raw ingredients and finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need. I've been taking their Immune Support and multivitamin over the last month and  I feel great.

Get yourself a memory of a lifetime and commit to this amazing destination race in one of the most beautiful countries that I've ever visited. You can run the marathon or any distance down to 5k, but the marathon course is flat and fast with only 75 meters of elevation gain. Over 60% of finishers self-report a PR at the end of the race.  I spent 6 weeks in Australia, with one of them being in Coolangatta on the Gold Coast. The beaches are stunning, the people are friendly, and the natural environment of this region is so beautiful.  If I could go back there and run this race with you, I would in a heartbeat. The Gold Coast Marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race and this will be the 43rd running of it. Get yourself that shiny new PR on a fast course - with a destination race you're going to love, at the Gold Coast Marathon on July 2nd.

Running form has often focused on concepts like cadence and footstrike to create change and improve efficiency. But a “top down” approach - focusing on the arms, torso, and cues - is an innovative and accessible way to become a stronger, healthier runner. This week's guest on the podcast is Paul Mackinnon, a former semi-pro hockey player who has become an expert on gait retraining. Paul is from Melbourne, Australia and has worked with many high level athletes over the years to improve their running form, including former podcast guest and 2:19 marathoner Peter Bromka. My discussion with Paul is a masterclass on form. Despite this being a complex topic, his ideas are easy to grasp and  have made me rethink some commonly held concepts about running technique. Some of the topics we discuss on the episode include: Paul's “top down” approach to thinking about running form and technique 3 of the most common problem areas for runners How your arms create lift in your running The underestimated torso - why we need to focus here first The impact of running shoes on form Form cues that help reinforce proper form Why the “don't fix what isn't broken” mentality may not be the best way to approach running technique The importance of body awareness to create change in your form This week's episode can help runners learn how to improve their form at any stage of the game.  Enjoy!

The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. So check out Elemental Labs to try their new flavor or get a free sampler pack.  Thank You Gold Coast Marathon We're supported by the Gold Coast Marathon which takes place in Queensland, Australia on July 2nd, 2023.

On the podcast this week I have Sarah Gearhart, a writer and 14-time marathoner. She's a sports journalist whose work has appeared pretty much everywhere, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Runner's World, and many others. Sarah is the author of the new book, We Share the Sun: The Incredible Journey of Kenya's Legendary Running Coach Patrick Sang and the Fastest Runners on Earth. Patrick Sang is the coach of Eliud Kipchoge, widely regarded as the world's best marathoner. But the culture he has created at his Kaptagat training camp focuses on treating all runners - Kipchoge included - as a whole person. Sarah's time at the camp allowed her a unique insight into this community that few of us know or understand, but sets an example that all runners can learn from. Sarah and I touch on a number of topics surrounding her new book, including: What drew her to write about Patrick Sang and the athletes he coaches Why Patrick Sang is often described as a life coach and not just a running coach How the culture Sang created for his athletes contributes to their success The immersive experience of Sang's runners and how it adds to their dominance How Kipchoge came to be coached by Sang Why Sarah's perspective on running has evolved since her time in Kenya Sarah's book is beautifully written and a must read for anyone who loves the sport.
