Podcasts about hood to coast

First run on a whim in 1982 by Oregon Road Runners Club president Bob Foote with only 8 teams participating in the inaugural race, Hood to Coast has grown from modest beginnings to become a huge success story. More than 40 years on, the race that has come to be known affectionately as “the mother of all relays” now attracts more than a thousand teams from over 40 countries to what is one of the most spectacular 200 mile courses from the top of Mt Hood to the Pacific Ocean. So what's the secret sauce? What is it about this race being able to sell out for the last 30 of its 40 odd race editions? And how is it even possible to pull off recruiting 3,600 volunteers, let alone training and managing them to a tee year in, year out with a core team of just a handful of people?That's what we'll be digging into today with the help of my guest, Hood to Coast race director, Felicia Hubber. Felicia, being the daughter of the man who started it all and the person driving Hood to Coast's expansion both domestically and overseas, has literally grown alongside Hood to Coast, having been born the same year as the inaugural event, and she'll walk us through what makes Hood to Coast so special in the eyes of the thousands of people taking part, the appeal of the mountain-to-sea race concept, the mind-boggling complexities of putting on a relay race at this size, and Hood to Coast's unique approach to volunteer recruitment and training.In this episode:The humble beginnings of the mother of all relaysHood to coast: 200 miles from the top of Mt Hood to the world's largest beach party in 36 hoursThe complexities of relay eventsTeam-building at relays: reunions, families, military and corporate teamsEnforcing HTC's many strict race rulesManaging 3,600 volunteers along a 200 mile courseHTC's unorthodox approach to volunteer recruitment: requiring local teams to provide 3 volunteers each to qualifyStreamlining volunteer training via online video training coursesThe economics of relay racing for race organizersTransitioning HTC to a B CorpExporting the mountain-to-sea concept overseas: HTC's international expansionThanks to RunSignup for supporting quality content for race directors by sponsoring this episode.

Last week, a team of 12 Monkeys (Great movie by the way), descended upon Portland Oregon to tackle a legendary 200-mile relay race from Mt. Hood to the beautiful Oregon coast. They ran straight through the night. There were laughs, there were tears, there were...moments of delirium. But all in all, what transpired was an incredible 36 hours of overcoming physical and mental adversity, team building, and strengthening of already incredible bonds. This episode brings just a few of the 12 members on to chat a bit about the experience as a whole, and to highlight a few moments that stood out. The bottom line is that we ALL should periodically seek out opportunities to challenge ourselves both physically and mentally. It is a healthy act that will not only fortify your resolve but will elevate your happiness, confidence, and sense of purpose as well. •••••⁠ ⁠ This episode is brought to you by Bubs Naturals -⁠ ⁠ We are so thankful to have them as a partner of Power Monkey Camp this year - they brought the GOODS:⁠ ⁠ Collagen Powder, MCT Oil Powder, Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies, Coffee, and their newest electrolytes, Hydrate or Die,⁠ ⁠ It's packed with 2000mg of electrolytes which is 5 times more than other sports drinks, there's no added sugar, it's NON GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan...you name it, they've covered it with their powder. ⁠ ⁠ USE code "POWERMONKEY" for 20% off your first order of BUBS.⁠

NYC Marathon 2022 finishers, Mike Brown and Crystal Rosales join us with their take on the big day as first timers. Mike Brown is a 10x Marathoner Mike Brown found his passion and love for running well after high school and college. What initially started as a means to stay active turned into something much more. It is now his way of life. Mike's time as a Nike Run Club Pacer has fueled one of his now life goals. That is to help share that same joy and benefits he receives from the sport to others in the community as Lead Program Director w/ GumboFit. (@mikeb_runnin) Crystal Rosales is a Chicago runner, lululemon ambassador and GRC Run Club run lead. After running Hood To Coast and the Chicago Marathon earlier this year, she ended race season with the most difficult of them all, the New York City Marathon. This was a bumpy training season for her, but the marathon continues to be Crystal's favorite distance. (@crystal.rosales) Hosted by Courtney Phillips @courtneynphillips & Ian Gonzalez @acoolthought.

Known as the Mother of all Relays, the world's longest running and walking relay race starts at the base of Mount Hood at Timberline Lodge. Over the course of two days, athletes run nearly 200 miles to the Pacific Ocean. Now, you might be thinking, who in their right minds would do such a thing? For the past 40 years, tens of thousands of athletes come out to run or walk the course. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we talk all about the ins and outs of the Hood to Coast relay with The Oregonian/OregonLive's audience engagement editor, Julie Evensen, who ran it on August 26-27. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Julie explains what an overnight running event looks like. Hint: Some sleep in an open field. Julie shares the preparation and training that goes into Hood to Coast. There is bacon at the finish line. How to enter the lottery for 2023. Other relay races in the area are a great way to get into this type of event. Subscribe to Peak Northwest anywhere you listen to podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

We are super stoked to get Gene Dykes back on the podcast. This year he broke the world record for the 50k for his age group. And when you hear the pace, you'll wonder why it isn't the record for people decades younger. He also talks about his Hood To Coast experience and his bowling and golf escapades.  This week Nicholas and Fundy also talk about the amazing Strava Run Club where all the OCR peeps hang out. Nicholas makes a local connection on the Strava Run Club, which is why it exists. We talk the mental aspects of perseverance and the psychology of dealing with setbacks. 

This week's episode features two members of the winning team at the 2021 Hood to Coast relay race, James Randon and Mike Horowicz. Hood to Coast is a 200-mile race in Oregon from Mt. Hood to the Pacific Ocean that will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year. This year, the Lostboys team finished in 18 hours, 34 minutes, averaging 5:40 per mile pace with a team of 12 runners. James and Mike are roommates, old friends, and Boston residents, and James is a professional runner for Saucony's Freedom Track Club. In addition to recapping the race and reflecting on the Hood to Coast experience, we covered binge watching, roommate pet peeves, and the longest “naked running” segment in running podcast history. This was a great, silly episode and you'll really enjoy it. All month, the podcast is brought to you by the Under Armour All-Out Mile.

Mike Horowicz on his late-night leg: “Before my 1am leg, I'm jumping up and down, sniffing smelling salts, and everyone is looking at me like I'm a psychopath… I never thought my life would take me to this point, but there I was.” James Randon on running Hood to Coast after the track season: “I had an abysmal spring season. Nothing went the way I wanted […] And on the other side of that, I realized that if I wanted to go back into training and continue to make it my career, I needed to find a love for it again. And running Hood to Coast, as insane and awful as it sounds, was a blast.” Mike Horowicz on coming back to the race: “There are certain things you do in life that you're excited about the first time you do it, and then it's like, ‘been there, done that.' Hood to Coast is not one of those things. I've done it three times and I'll do it again.”

This week, we had the pleasure of interviewing Bob Becker who ran the Marathon du Sable at 60, has done the double Badwater, which is 292 miles, meaning he ran Badwater, ran from the finish line up Mt Whitney and ran back to the start line. He also won the Race for the Ages at 74 by running 230 miles. You'll love this interview with Bob. Nicholas and Fundy also discuss the Hood To Coast 2021. It was amazing to be back on the course. We ran into Gene Dykes, Jennie Rice and Amby Burfoot and got to hang out with those amazing people over coffee. This is a jammed packed episode. You'll love it. Be sure to joint he Old Crazy Strava Run Club for more antics and inspiration.   

Kirstin ran the famous Hood to Coast relay this past weekend and shares her experience with us. The iconic Pacific NorthWest race is 199 miles of roads and trails from Mt. Hood to the Oregon Coast. Athletes compete with a team of two vans over a 24-hour period. Kirstin ran three legs for a total of 18 miles. If you've ever wondered what a relay race looks like and what to expect, Kirstin gives us the low down on the whole race. Host": Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen.For more information, links and resources plus conversations from the world of women's sport including articles, blogs, videos and podcasts visit wispsports.com.

Kathrine and Roger are the power couple of running. She was the first woman to officially complete the Boston Marathon and Roger, a fantastic runner in his own right, has documented every great running story for the past 5 decades. We talk about injury, recovery and changing your philosophy as you age.  We also discuss who won the Old Crazy Runners Beer Run. A recap of the Tokyo Olympic running scene brings surprises and the upcoming Hood To Coast race is also in this episode. 

You are going to love this episode with the highly energetic Runner's World strength coach. We all know that we need to do strength training as runners. Well, if you are like us, you need a kick in the pants. Also, tune in for Jess' awesome first marathon outfit. It sounds fantastic. Check out her Instagram for regular work out routines.  We also discuss creating a future memory for hard events you have coming up via our episode with Amanda Foo-Ryland. We discuss whether we could do a Hood To Coast relay with half the number of people and run double the legs. Also, we cheer on Mike Ehredt and his run on the Hardrock 100. 

When Jeff Maher started running, like many of us, started from zero and now has a PR of 3:19 for a full marathon and has run Boston with a GoPro to film Kathrine Switzer. He's run the B2B (Boston to Big Sur) the year of the bombing. That year those races were 13 days apart. He's also run our favorite relay, the Hood To Coast, but with only 9 runners instead of 12. In Sept 2020 he was diagnosed with MS and since exercise is more important than ever has decided to go after the 6 World Marathon Majors. His message is that if you commit to getting better, and stay disciplined you can achieve crazy goals! You can see his Boston Marathon video on YouTube here.  Also in this Episode learn who is featured in the Old Crazy Run Club on Strava. We discuss why new runners shouldn't be afraid to join a run club or be on Strava. And do you agree with Fundy on what the most important thing is. Get Fundy's review on the Garmin Fenix. We discuss heart rate zone training with the Garmin vs. the Stride. And always, be sure to sign your team up for the OCR Beer Run. It helps fund our efforts to keep bringing you awesome guests.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with distance runner, and director of sales and marketing for Ciele Athletics, Dan Marrett. Growing up Dan ran for sport but years later it was a work fitness challenge that drew him back to running and he just kept going. He continues to pursue personal excellence in running as he builds a young family and a career in Vancouver. Part of that journey is discovering and sharing stories through running, allowing him to connect with runners from all walks of life.

Join us as we talk to avid runner and Hood To Coast CEO Felicia Hubber. We discuss the difficult decision to cancel this year's race, what we have in store for next year and why a Hood To Coast team is really like a family. Felicia is kind enough to give us a few peeks behind the curtain into the organization and, most importantly, who designs their killer shirts. We also discuss our first run after the devastating Oregon Wildfires and unhealthy air that kept us sidelined for over a week. Find out just how crazy we were with our first "post-smoke" run. Learn more about Hood To Coast right here. Sign up for their many virtual races and learn how you can join or start your own team. Hit up Old Crazy Runners website if you have any questions that you'd like some mediocre advice on. See Felicia below as she completes the Hood To Coast in China.

If you have participated in a large race event, such as a marathon, 5K, triathlon, or relay, you're familiar with the participant experience.   We show up, run, bike, experience the glory of the finish line, get our medal, enjoy a post-race beer and head home with our amazing event memories.  What we don't see is the HOURS, weeks, and months of work done by event organizers and countless volunteers. Sure, we train and give up time with our families and Netflix accounts, but we really don't understand half of what goes on behind the scenes with some of these events.  Not anymore, friends! The Peek, a behind-the-scenes podcast series by AfterShokz. In this 3-part series, we take you behind the curtain to get the inside scoop on what it takes to put on some of the most premier endurance events. In this first installment of The Peek, we're exploring all of the insane work that goes into putting on the mother of all relay races, the granddaddy of grind, where van-life meets runners meets volcano meets Pacific-Coast. That's right - we're peeking under the hood of the Hood to Coast Relay!  Starting on the potentially active stratovolcano, Mt. Hood, 65 miles east of downtown Portland, and running 199 miles west to the Pacific Coast, Hood to Coast features 1,050 teams of 6-12 people, roughly 12,600 runners, and 3,600 volunteers!  But it's not just the sheer number of people or miles that make this race a daunting enterprise to execute. Along those 199 miles are countless highways, rural roads, municipalities, neighborhoods, towns, and other stakeholders that the race has to accommodate. There are also several “exchange points,” where all 1,050 team vans all converge to pass the baton on to their teammates.  To get a sense of what it takes to put on Hood to Coast, we talked with Hood to Coast's Chief Operating Officer, Dan Floyd and VP of Sales, Tina Wood, to hear more about the organization that pulls off this Herculean feat year after year.  We also talked with Kelly Buechler, Executive Director of Providence Portland Medical Foundation, the race's primary charitable partner and beneficiary, who shares some of the amazing work Providence Medical Center has accomplished through Hood to Coast's support.  And finally, to get some stories from the front row, we talked with Steve and Becky Hanamura. Steve is a runner who was born blind and has run Hood to Coast for the last 29 years, and Becky has run exchange 12 – arguably the most complicated and difficult exchange point – for the last 25 years.  Between Dan, Tina, Kelly, Steve, and Becky - they've seen Hood to Coast grow from a concept to an upstart event, to an international phenomenon.  If you've been looking to accomplish something BIG, embark on an amazing adventure with 11 friends, and see one of the most beautiful areas of the United States, we're sure you'll want to hear more about Hood to Coast. You can download the episode here, and if this episode pushes you over the edge, you can learn more about how to enter the Hood to Coast lottery here.  Thanks for listening - we hope you enjoy episode one of The Peek!

Join us for another round of club news and results before we hear from Paul O'Neil on his recent trip to Holland where he took part in a 175 mile long distance relay. Part of the 'Hood to Coast' Race Series and billed as 'The Mother of All Relays', the European leg took a route from the Netherlands’ highest point to the turquoise waters of the North Sea.

Marcie and I talk about empathy and others, magic, a shift in perspective, the power of film for social change and a “real sense of belonging.” Synopsis How much are you willing to sacrifice for your dream? MAGICIANS follows four very different professional magicians on stage and off, exploring how and why these characters so passionately dedicate their lives to the artistry and craft of illusion: from the most humbling of road gigs to the grandest performances on the biggest of stages; to finding love to terrible personal loss; and, most dramatically, to the prospect of losing everything for the one constant in their lives: magic. As we come to understand why each is pursuing his own dream, we’ll discover the greatest secret that has been hidden right before our eyes all along: far more fascinating than the magic are the magicians themselves. MAGICIANS was filmed over four years with unprecedented access at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, behind the scenes in Las Vegas, the magicians’ homes and wherever their journeys took them. Exciting, uplifting, and with broad audience appeal, the film explores how these magicians have persisted with their art form, and prevailed. MAGICIANS is directed and produced by Marcie Hume and Christoph Baaden. The film is executive produced by Glen Zipper, Greg Stikeleather, Doug Blush and Lance Burton. More about the film here. Biography Marcie Hume began her documentary career with the BBC in London, and has created and produced a range of series for the BBC and Channel 4 in the UK, and Discovery Channel, Lifetime, and National Geographic in the US. She works full time as a production and development executive in television, while making a documentary film every 5 years. Her documentary feature film HOOD TO COAST was released in 360 movie theaters across the US in 2011, and her recent documentary MAGICIANS: LIFE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE will be released later this year. She created an after-school documentary program for high school students in vulnerable communities in the South Bronx, and has given workshops on interview technique and documentary ethics at conferences around the country. Having created both documentary series and reality TV shows, she’s a big believer in questioning assumptions about authenticity and truth in both genres… and is wary of those who consider documentaries to be “real” and reality TV to be “fake”. She continues to develop and revise her ideas on storytelling and ethics in documentary. ---------- Please visit my website for more information on my podcasting, writing and public speaking.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-320 – Laura McDonnell – Learning Speed with MarathonBQ (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4320.mp3] Link epi4320.mp3 MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/ Intro Bumper: Hello my folks.  Wow! What a whirlwind of a week I had.  And what a whirlwind of a month I have coming up.  Here we are Episode 4-320 of the RunRunLive Podcast and we've got some ground to cover.   I've got a chat with Laura McDonnell today who is deep into training for a marathon with the MarathonBQ program.  I actually have two interviews with Laura.  After we were done with the first one I found that it had an awful digital click in it that would make you crazy, so I interviewed her again.   But, I was disappointed because I really liked the first take, so I sent it out as a gig request to Fiverr.com to see if someone better at audio mixing than I could save the interview.  It turns out they did.  I love crowdsourcing.  For $5 I got my file fixed.  The bad news is that in order to get the click out they really had to step on the audio so the resultant quality is not so great.  You'll find it a bit clipped and roboty sounding in places – but the content is great – so I decided to go with it.  I'll post the second interview up as an added bonus at some point if you want to hear a different take on the same topic.  I also have for you my Hood To Coast race report which is going to be super long – so I'll slot that into the second section.  You may want to listen to this one in chunks or on a long run.  Then I have a shorter manifesto piece on why we need to do these epic events.  I was on a plane this week.  I got upgraded to first class.  It was supposed to be a meal flight for first class but the caterers missed the plane – so no meals.  The guy next to me was grumbling about how he paid for a meal and he should get one.  He wouldn't let it go.  I could tell there was something up with the stewardess. She was an older woman and seemed to be bothered by something.   I told the guy to think about the stewardess because we don't know what's going on in her life and his crappy airline meal is probably not that important in the grand scheme of things and definitely not her fault.  The next time she came by I asked if she was ok and she said she was fine in that way that all women say they are fine to men when they are definitely not fine.  I let it drop.  Later the young stewardess from coach was there and she was one of those happy go lucky confident types telling us all about how she met her fiancée on Tinder.   The older stewardess leans in and says “She keeps trying to get me on Tinder, but it's only been 3 months since I lost him…”  That's when the guy next to me learned a valuable lesson in empathy.   You don't know what's going on with people.  You don't know why that person cuts you off.  You don't know why they explode over something trivial.  You don't have any right to know.   But you can't assume it has anything to do with you.   On with the show! Section one - Running Tips Epic!  http://runrunlive.com/epic Voices of reason – the conversation Laura McDonnell   Section two – Race Report http://runrunlive.com/the-unexpected-epic-ness-of-the-hood-to-coast-relay-2015 Outro MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/ Sorry for that long race report, but, now you have run into the driving rain and wind of my audio prose to the end of episode 4-320 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  I'm not running at all this week because, needless to say my leg was a bit upset at me from running 28 miles on it.  I won't be able to run the Wapack Trail race this weekend, but I'll be up there volunteering.  I've got a crazy schedule of travel for the next 5 weeks straight so I may just step back from training and do a maintenance routine for September.  We'll see.  I'm not going anywhere.   If you want to help me you can recommend the podcast to a friend, or you can leave a positive review for my MarathonBQ book on Amazon.   I was sitting in the hotel this week reading Archeology news on my computer.  I was chatting with the kid that was working there. When I told him what I was doing he said he couldn't read books.  He said he got a couple minutes into reading and just lost focus.   I told him, of course you can read books.  I asked him what he was good at; what he really enjoyed. And he said basketball.  I asked him how he got so good at basketball.  He said by practicing and playing a lot.  I told him it was the same thing with anything you want to get good at – including reading.   I told him a story of flying home from Portland to Boston the day before with my wife.  She was sitting beside me and I was reading a book.  I was underlining bits that caught my interest and making notes.  She said “That seems like a good book, I should read that.”  What I said to her is that this book isn't of much consequence in the grand scheme of things.  It's the other 50 or so books a year I've read over the last 40 or so years plus this one that make the difference.  And that's how life is.  It's about daily practice and the long view.  It's about placing the stones on tiop of each other every day so that someday you will have a palace.  Start building your palace.  It's never too late to start.  And I'll see you out there.  https://www.facebook.com/wapacktrailrace?fref=ts http://wapack.freeservers.com/ Closing comments MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/ Http://www.marathonbq.com http://runrunlive.com/my-books
