How to Stay Running For Life: Special Collaborative Episode! This week’s guests are a little different from our usual guests such as Olympian Jared Wade or top race director Dave McGillivray of the Boston Marathon or yoga instructor Adina Crawford to name a few. The athletes in this podcast aren’t household names but still impact lots of runners. They’re founders of some of the top Facebook running groups around the world and they have agreed to collaborate on this special episode. Facebook is a great platform for runners around the world to interact, share advice, and build virtual communities, which is especially important during these times. Coach Claire joined several of these Facebook running groups to try to find out what members were discussing and what questions the runners had. For this episode, Coach Claire decided to focus on advice for how to keep running for as long as possible, and so asked each of the guests the same question: What do you include in your running routine that will help ensure you are running for life? The responses were great. Each guest had something a little bit different to say, and all of it is good advice that will hopefully help keep you running and motivated for life. So get ready for six guests, one question, various accents, and some great answers coupled with Coach Claire’s expert commentary! Question All Guests Are Asked: What do you include in your running routine that will help ensure you are running for life?

I have a fun talk with Ultra Runner and podcast host of Running Stupid. His Motto is run “All Day”. Email me at justarunner65@gmail.com
If you want to complete an ultramarathon, you will have to put in lots of training. One of the big keys to successfully training for an ultra-marathon is to log lots of miles without getting sick or injured. Ken Michal has stood on the starting line of almost every significant ultra, including Western States 100 and multiple rounds of the HURT 100. And when I asked him about what it takes to successfully train for these kind of ultras, he says, “You're going to hate me for saying this, but its risk and reward.” Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we are talking with Coach Ken Michal, host of the Running Stupid Podcast about recovery, rehab and injury prevention when training for ultras.
#29 - Ken Michal has been running ultras a long time. He's also been podcasting a long time. Running Stupid has been up and running for over 10 years. It's unlike any other podcast of its kind. His personable approach; friendly, determined, yet somehow, humorous mannerism is perfect for a personal account of all his races. He gives us race reports like no other, especially his Hurt 100 reports, they are not to be missed. Hawaii's Hurt race is one of the hardest of all the Hundos. He tells us why he loves it so much in this episode and why we all need to keep going. He also explains what happened at this year's Western States. You will be motivated to run after this episode, or at least to dream about running, he has that kind of affect. For all of Ken's info, go to our website at: www.martharunstheworld.com for comments, contact me at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com
Fresh off a DNF at the HURT 100, Ken Michal talks philosophy and running as a creative outlet. We delve into the mental side of running, coming to terms with where your body is vs. where you want it to be, making a "Quit List," and sharpening your mental game. Ken has started the tough HURT 100 ten times and has 3 finishes. He runs middle to back of the pack and works full time. Ken has a lot of passion for the sport and he brings this passion to the podcast in spades.

Han sprang sammanlagt 880 km, eller 547 miles vilket resulterade i ett nytt svenskt rekord som också är ett av de allra bästa resultaten genom tiderna och världsårsbästa. Följ med bakom kulisserna! Support Lotta Thörn direktrapporterar i några korta klipp under tävlingens gång och sen får du också höra en sammanfattning av loppet som vi spelade in när vi stod med husbilen på en camping ett dygn efter målgång.

Ken Michal is one of the kindest runners in Ultrarunning - let's chat with him about his journey to ultras and most recently conquering the HURT 100.
Ken Michal is an Ultra Runner. I just learned something: Ultra Runners are crazy – unadulterated crazy – but a hell of a lot of fun; and in this podcast we meet this ultra runner, Ken Michal, who'll tell us all about it. Look, I'm a sprinter by nature, so I can only wonder about this crazy distance ultra running stuff and what drives a person to want to do this sort of thing for this long. Ken's going to tell us all about it and why. This is a man who just plain likes endurance training, and then running these super long events where he gets lost in his mind. Why? Because the races he runs have titles like “HURT,” “48-Hour Races,” and other insane names that say to a guy like me, “Run,” but run away from this – which I do! On many occasions, his races take him into the night, all nigh. Here he tells a great story of just that, a nighttime run that heads into the darkness of night, over difficult terrain, where he gets lost, and has to figure his way out of trouble. He described stumbling into an aid station two-thirds of the way through, in the darkness of the first night, hands numb and shivering uncontrollably. He had been running or walking nearly 24 hours and had another cycle of sunrise and sunset to go. He finally reached the aid station seeking warmth and sustenance only to discover that it was … gone. Everyone had packed up and left. All that remained was a bag of cold boiled potatoes, some cans of Coke and a porta-potty. Fun, huh! Well he loved it. To me, the kind of training one has to do (let alone the actual events!) to be an ultra runner implies a few things: The running is motivation to run away from something one wishes not to face, One has preternaturally high energy levels that only ultra running can manage, One actually just plain likes this stuff (I understand this the least!). Either way, I don't completely understand the ultra runner athlete's inner psychology because anyone crazier than a sprinter is, well, off the map. These folks are off the map but in a way that I deeply respect. You'll learn why when you listen in. And Ken LOVES this stuff. He laughs a lot when talking about it, is giddy when thinking about training, and loves competing so much that sometimes he comes up a tad bit short on training because, like quarter horse, he just wants to get out of the gate and run. Ken is a happy dude, an infectiously joyful man. You're going to really love his stories, and especially him. Come on in, check him out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-who-are-you-podcast/support
