Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Wetmore

Today on the Run Culture Podcast, I chatted to one of the most ‘well read, knowledgeable and innovative' coaching minds in current day distance running; Brad Hudson. The interview was quite high level, it covered a lot of territory and did bounce around a fair bit, many times I didn't know what direction it was going to go which made it fun. Since starting the Run Culture podcast some 5yrs ago, I've had some interviews I've really cherished and this one ranks right up there as one of my favorites, I had a blast trying to keep up with this running genius.   Brad is a well-known running coach (who's currently living in LA, USA) and was a former elite (2:13 marathoner) distance runner himself.   He is recognized for coaching many top-level athletes, including; Dathan Ritzenhein, Shayne Culpepper, Jason Hartman, Parker Stinson, Benita Johnson, Allie Kieffer, Jorge Torres, amongst many others….   There were many take home messages, including:   - How Modern elite training has changed in 2024? - Why we should all be 'Experimenting, Innovating and Evolving' our training? - Some of Brad's key Endurance Training principles. - The importance of customized and responsive training plans. - The Importance of Sleep, Psychology, Nutrition, Stress management. - His many coaching influences (too many to list, he's a lifelong learner and learns from anyone if he feels it could be useful). Some mentioned, include; Mark Wetmore, Bill Dellinger, Renate Canova, Arthur Lydiard, Percy Cerutty, Antonio Cabral, Jack Daniels, Nick Bideau and Pat Clohessy. - And many other pearls of coaching wisdom, including his two book recommendations- Ryan Holliday's ‘Daily Stoic' and Marc Bubb's book; ‘Peak: The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionizing Sports'   If anyone wanted to reach out to Brad for ‘Online Running Coaching' Brad's email is: ⁠hudsoncoachingmarathon@yahoo.com⁠   Thanks once again Brad, you were a joy to listen to and have certainly got me excited about my own coaching!

Craig Curley (Diné) is a marathoner and 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials Qualifier. Craig's professional running journey has been a winding path. In the early 2000s, he was considered a top high school runner in Arizona. Forgoing Division I collegiate opportunities, he went on to compete for Pima Community College for two years and broke the 5,000m record which was previously held by Pima Community College alum Abdi Abdirahman. Shortly after the 2012 trials, Craig won the Columbus Marathon and signed a contract with Mizuno. In this conversation, we talk about the different phases of his running journey, the coaches he's worked with, and how his home life and cultural upbringing intersect with his running career. I am lucky to have connected with Craig through our mutual friend, Mario Fraioli. Mario is currently coaching Craig as he tackles this new season of running and life.   In this episode: Wings of America Billy Elliot (Movie) Craig Curley on the Morning Shakeout Podcast “With Pro Runners Eager to Race, a Marathon Comes to Arizona,” by Sarah Lorge Butler, com, September 24, 2020.

In this episode, I talk about the major themes and lessons I drew from Chris Lear's book, Running With The Buffaloes, which follows the the 1998 cross country season of the Colorado University Buffaloes men's team. It provides some very unique insights into the mind of legendary coach, Mark Wetmore, as well as members of the team, like Adam Goucher, Mike Friedburg, Jay Johnson, and Chris Severy. I enjoyed the book so much that I listened to the audiobook twice in a row. If you want some context for how much further and faster you may be able to push your body before it breaks, this provides some useful lessons. It will probably get you fired up for a long run, too! 

Valerie Constien is the United States' third-fastest steeplechaser heading into the Olympic Trials with a personal best of 9:25. That's also good enough for No. 14 in the world for 2021. She is a graduate of the University of Colorado and now competes for the Tracksmith Amateur Support Program while being coached by Mark Wetmore and Heather Burroughs. We'll be featuring a few more Tracksmith athletes before we kickstart our daily podcast series – Trials Talk with Chris & Kyle – live from Eugene, Oregon. Kyle Merber and I will be bringing you a show recapping the biggest performances and surprises from each day of the Trials. The women's steeplechase will certainly be one of them. Do not sleep on Valerie for that third possible spot on the Olympic team since there's still a few question marks around Colleen Quigley since she hasn't raced since February or steepled since 2019. That race has gotten super interesting in recent weeks with some big performances by Valerie, Mel Lawrence, Marissa Howard and a slew of collegiate women. Get to know Valerie before she possibly shocks the country. Follow Val on Instagram here: @valerieconstien Photo by Jake Willard: Follow him @runjwill

“When you look at running and why we’re doing this, the ultimate pinnacle goal is to be an elite medalist but really to be an Olympian and have that title. For Sara (my wife) and I, when we think about why we do this, it’s to try and qualify for the Olympics or give it our absolute best shot. When you talk to someone who is not closely tied to the running world, that’s what they’re looking for. When they describe you to your friends, they’re thinking, ‘This guy is training for the Olympics’ or ‘He’s trying to make the Olympics’ and it’s so cool to them but if you take the Olympics out of it, it loses the allure of what we’re doing. It’s very unique.” Consider this Part II to last week’s conversation with Sara Sutherland since we now get to interview her husband, Riley Masters. For those who may not be familiar with him, Riley was a standout runner at Maine before transferring to Oklahoma. He’s got personal bests of 3:36.49 for the 1,500 meters and 13:16.97 for the 5,000 meters. He serves as an assistant coach at Colorado where he works closely with his own coach Mark Wetmore. Riley hasn’t raced in 2020 because he’s making his way back from getting surgery to correct Haglund's deformity, which is a bone growth on the heel bone. I’ve known Riley for years and as he’s now in his 7th year of running professionally, we were both together in Europe in 2013 for our rookie seasons at the top end of the sport. We catch up on what he’s learned in that span of time, why this year is the worst one that he’s faced but keeps him motivated to explore what’s possible in 2021. For all my OG Real Maine fans – the documentary that brought some hype behind guys like Riley and Kyle Merber – we touch on the lasting legacy of that film.

Jenny Simpson has been a long-awaited guest for The CITIUS MAG Podcast and she finally sat down to run through her truly remarkable career from high school to 2019 before looking ahead to the 2020 Olympic year and what she wants to accomplish before her career is over. We start with her days as a five-time Florida state track champion and three-time state champion in cross-country out of Oviedo High School in Florida. Then, we dive into her success as a steeplechaser at Colorado, where under coach Mark Wetmore and Heather Burroughs she won three NCAA steeplechase titles and one indoor 3,000-meter title. Don't worry, we definitely don't overlook her 163rd place finish at the 2009 NCAA Cross-Country Championships and what she learned from that performance. We get Jenny's starting line feelings and recollections from the 2008 Olympics and 2009 World Championships. After Jenny turns pro in 2010, we learn why she chose the 1,500 meters and ultimately became the 2011 World Championship gold medalist, 2013 World Championship silver medalist, 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and 2017 World Championship silver medalist in the event. Get ready because she puts us in her shoes for some of those major races. When you've accomplished so much, what's next? We hear what Jenny has planned for 2020 and her feelings toward the American record after Shelby Houlihan just lowered it to 3:54.99 in 2019. ▶ Follow Jenny: www.instagram.com/trackjenny/ | www.twitter.com/trackjenny/ ❤️ Support for this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast comes from THE FEED.

This episode begins with a short introduction including announcements about a live podcast recording at Rogue on May 17th with Michael Wardian and Charlie Engle. We will do a run at 6 pm and then Q&A with Michael and Charlie at 6:45/7:00 pm. You can find event details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/300818644149908/ Then at 7:15 into the episode, the audio begins from my live (with audience) recording with Chris Lear. We talk about the story behind the book Running with the Buffaloes and about how he dropped everything to pursue this idea. We talk about his methods to capture the story and how he made ends meet with his job at CompUSA while finishing the manuscript. Then, we talk about the story itself and what he learned from Adam Goucher, Mark Wetmore, and the team. Plus, we dig into his second book Sub 4:00 about Alan Webb in his first and only season at the University of Michigan and then find out where Chris is now. 

Ryan Sterner, one of the other co-founders behind CITIUS MAG, joins the podcast to discuss his 74th place finish at the Los Angeles Marathon. If you would've spoken to Ryan about two years ago, it sounded like he would never run a marathon and now things have really changed. We finally peel back the curtain into his own running history, his relationship with the sport, what hooked him into training again and whether all of his assumptions about the marathon were right. Plus: Ryan shares a very funny story about his workout with the Colorado Buffaloes in front of Mark Wetmore.

What a pleasure it was to interview my friend Chris Lear for the first episode of the Coaching Runners podcast. Chris is known primarily as the author of Running with the Buffaloes and Sub-4. Most people don't know that Chris broke 4:10 for the full mile as a high school athlete, and was an All-American, running the 1,200m leg of the DMR for Princeton, when they finished fourth in the NCAA. Chris talks about his training in high school and highlights elements that high school coaches will find useful. I ask Chris what the one thing a high school coach can do tomorrow that Mark Wetmore and Ron Warhurst do with their athletes. Chris also talks about the role talent plays in distance running. Thanks Chris for kicking off the podcast with a great interview! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This episode of the Coaching Runners podcast is brought to you by my Fundamentals Education Course and the Boulder Running Camps.

Voice of the Buffs Mark Johnson and CUBuffs.com’s Neill Woelk sit down for this week’s Insider, talking about the performance all Buffs fans were looking for last week against Cal in a 44-28 win. Steven Montez responded to being benched by having his best game of the year. The entire offense took the situation as a challenge and responded. Neill realizes that MJ has a point in that until last week, the Buffs had played under pressure all week and finally look relaxed last week. Can the ASU game be a spring board game? What should fans expect from Todd Graham’s Sun Devils? The two also talk men’s basketball and what can be taken away from the win over Colorado-Mines. Tad Boyle said Tyler Bey may be the most talented player he’s ever coached. How big of a statement is that? How good will George King be this season? Mark Wetmore took the men’s and women’s cross country teams to a first (women’s) and second (men’s) place finish at last weekend’s Pac-12 Championships. He’s now brought home 10 of the possible 14 cross country Pac-12 Championships since the conference expanded.

At 5-4, the Buffs are looking to become bowl-eligible for the second straight season with a game at Arizona State Saturday. Hear from LB Rick Gamboa. Head coach Mike MacIntyre talks about QB Steven Montez and his situation the last few weeks. The game will kickoff at 7 p.m. MT in Tempe. Cross Country coach Mark Wetmore was named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year and Dani Jones earned Pac-12 Runner of the Year among several honors handed out by the league to the Buffs Tuesday. The soccer team wraps up its regular season Friday at Utah and the volleyball team is in action tonight against Washington State at the Events Center.

The football team’s roller coaster season continues after being shut out last week at Washington State and the annual Homecoming game against Cal this weekend at Folsom Field. There is a quarterback competition happening this week after Sam Noyer replaced Steven Montez at halftime. Neill called Joel Klatt to talk about the time he was benched (story coming out soon on CUBuffs.com). Neill talks about what he and Joel chatted about. How big is the Cal game? Just about every position can play better, which does coach Mike MacIntyre say has played to full expectation in 2017? Who does Mark and Neill think is the best team in the Pac-12? What were Neill’s favorite memories of Rashaan Salaam? The men’s basketball team hosts an open practice Saturday before the football game. Evan Battey will not be competing, the NCAA is forcing him into an academic redshirt. The two talk about the situation and Tad Boyle’s disappointment with the NCAA in this case as well as how well Battey has taken the situation and turning it into a positive for the team. After Saturday’s scrimmage, the Buffs will play Monday. The two also talk about Mark Wetmore’s cross country teams, who are at Pac-12 Championships this weekend.

It’s travel day for the Colorado football team as the Buffs head to LA for a matchup at UCLA at the Rose Bowl. Hear from LB Rick Gamboa and coach Mike MacIntyre. Coverage Saturday night starts at 6:30 p.m. MT with kickoff set for 8:30 p.m. The soccer team beat Washington State 2-0 for the Buffs first Pac-12 win of the season. They’ll stay in the northwest to face Washington Sunday. The volleyball team will host the Oregon teams with Oregon State coming to town tonight at 8 p.m. The tennis team is hosting its fall tournament this season, with action starting at 9 a.m. each day. Hear from Nicole Kenneally. The cross country teams will have two meets this weekend with the varsity team heading to Notre Dame to compete and the emerging varsity running at CU’s Rocky Mountain Shootout on Saturday. Hear from coach Mark Wetmore. The men’s basketball team also opens practice for the 2017-18 season on Sunday.

Former Colorado Buffalo and two-time national champion Ammar Moussa recently chatted with the CITIUS MAG Podcast ahead of his blue jeans mile run at the Sir Walter Miler on Aug. 4. Ammar is one of the first contributors to come on-board with the site and he's developed a new kind of relationship with running since his competitive days on the track. He was a standout at Arcadia High School in California before heading to Boulder to run under Mark Wetmore. As a Buffalo, he won two national titles and finished fifth overall at the 2015 NCAA Cross Country National Championships. He's distanced himself from running a bit and now work in Washington D.C. with Rep. John Conyers Jr.  On the show, Ammar discusses his time running and training at Colorado, why anti-doping interests him as a topic to write about on the site and much more.  Colorado has a storied track and field history so Ammar tackles assembling a Mt. Rushmore of former Buffaloes. You can catch the latest episode of the podcast on iTunes so subscribe and leave a five-star review.

Three-time U.S. Olympian Dathan Ritzenhein joined the CITIUS MAG Podcast just days after announcing that he has joined the Hansons-Brooks Original Distance Project and will be training under the guidance of Keith and Kevin Hanson in Michigan. Ritzenhein is now 34 years old but remains intent on trying to qualify for his fourth Olympic team in 2020. In this week's episode of the podcast, Ritzenhein discusses how different training is for him now that he's older, his key to longevity within the sport, lessons learned from coaches like Mark Wetmore, Alberto Salazar and Brad Hudson in his career, plus whether he thinks the more recent Colorado cross-country teams were better than the legendary 90s teams.

Closing the Gap Between Who We Are and Who We Can Be - With Adam Goucher & Tim Catalano Adam Goucher & Tim Catalano met at the University of Colorado where they ran together under esteemed coach Mark Wetmore. It was there that a lasting friendship was born, and Tim and Adam later went on to pen a book on their combined experiences and studies. The book is called Running the Edge, and it is as much about life as it is about running. Running the Edge served as a philosophical foundation for their business, Run The Edge, a community of fitness and fun based in Boulder, Colorado. The ultimate goal of Run The Edge is to help people around the world improve their fitness and overall well-being, and to encourage all levels of transformation and growth through community support. Adam and Tim are big believers in the power of reflection and self-awareness, and as they strive to help others better themselves in running and beyond, they’re continually working to do the same. Take a listen and learn how the power of positive psychology can help us close the gap between who we are and who we can be.   Here are some of the topics we’ll discuss today:   Adam and Tim’s running background Key principles in their book, Running the Edge How successful running and successful living are intertwined The importance of self awareness Why having multiple sources of passion is important How the challenge of running changes as we age   Questions Adam & Tim are asked: 3:56 How did you start running and what sparked your interest in it? 8:01 What inspired you to write your book Running the Edge? 10:53 What are some of the principles from the book? 12:47 How do these principles relate to your company and how did you come up with the name Run The Edge? 15:02 What are “The Six Mirrors”? 16:27 Did you have any learning or self-discovery moments as you wrote the book? 20:59 What is the dynamic like of being longtime friends and working together? 24:27 Did this dynamic exist between you back in college? 27:04 How do you advise people to find other passions without sacrificing their running? 31:30 What advice do you give to older runners, especially older beginners, who may be past their peak conditioning? 35:20 In your book, what do you mean by the Distance Maven and how did you come by that term? 40:29 What is your Amerithon Challenge? 44:55 Is there a time frame requirement for completing the challenge? 46:40 Can people join in any time after the launch? 47:34 Are most of your clients in America or overseas? 48:15 What’s in the future for Run The Edge?   Quotes by Adam & Tim: “It’s weird how (running) can make you happy and miserable all at the same time.” “We didn’t want to write a normal running book.” “Am I applying myself to the point where I’m working as hard as I can and doing things the right way? Because if I am, then I will be successful.” “Here’s what I really am. And here’s my ideal self, which is where I could be and try to look at the gap between those two things.” “Awareness is the key. Once you are aware of your shortcomings, you have the ability to fix them.” “You’ve gotta be more than a runner.” “I’ll never be as fast as I once was, but that doesn’t mean I can’t challenge myself to do new and different things.”   Take a Listen on Your Next Run Want more awesome interviews and advice?

In episode 48 of the Final Surge Podcast, we talk to Dr. Stephen Seiler who is the leading researcher on polarized training for endurance athletes. Welcome to episode 48 of the final surge podcast where we welcome Welcome to episode 48 of the final surge podcast where we welcome Dr. Stephen Seiler. Seiler has spent his career studying the optimal ways for endurance athletes to train and his polarized training methods are the foundation for Matt Fitzgerald’s 80/20 training book. In this episode, we talk about what exactly are the 80/20 zones, where do tempo and threshold runs play into that formula and how to work rest into your interval work. Make sure you follow us on Twitter @FinalSurge and please take a moment to subscribe to us on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher or whatever your podcast app of choice is. Listen to the podcast on iTunes or listen to it on Stitcher if you have an Android device. Stream it right here:   Your bio could take me 5 minutes to read, instead of getting into all of it, could you take a minute and introduce yourself to our audience? We had Matt Fitzgerald on a while back and talked about his 80/20 book. You are referenced many times in that book. And I’m actually holding a huge packet here in my hand called Seiler’s Hierarchy of Endurance Training Needs. How did you get interested in sports science? Most of the research I have seen from you is with cyclist and xc-skiers. But what you have learned from your research is also able to be applied to other endurance athletes like runners and triathletes correct? Can you explain polarized training? Is there a better way to define these high intensity, low intensity, and middle grounds? If we look at Mark Wetmore at the University of Colorado, probably the most respected college coach in the game today, Joe Vigil who is maybe the most successful college coach ever, and very successful in developing athletes who go on to the next level. With all of these coaches, the tempo runs or lactate threshold are a large staple in what they do. Could there be a case made that for athletes still developing their aerobic system, who maybe run 50 miles a week instead of 130 miles a week that the threshold work could have a big impact on that aerobic development? If a runner is only running 40 miles a week and not doing 80-120 miles, is it more important for them to maybe do a little more of the high quality, high-end threshold work than someone who is doing 3x their volume? When someone is in that 80% easy training zone, how easy is that? What would that be in a percent of maximum heart rate? In that 80%, is there a number you have studied that becomes too low? On the other end, on the 20%, how long are you trying to get into that area for a workout? If we are doing those 4x8 minute intervals, what would the recommended rest intervals be? What would a year of periodization look like under this type of program? Does the volume that they are doing need to be sports specific, or have you looked at cross training to get the same benefits? I've read your hierarchy of endurance training a few times. There is a pyramid you have put together in that document on how to train. Can you explain it? Do you coach or are you just studying this topic? You’ve been talking about this for several years now, what's new or what ideas have maybe changed since you started? Do you have anything you are studying that may work on these concepts more? Has anything interesting come out of studying the micro sessions?

Coach Brad Hudson starts out by telling us about how he got started in running. Being an average soccer player he tried running one day and a cross country coach recognized his talent quickly. Hudson was fortunate enough to be coached early by a young Mark Wetmore. In high school, Hudson would have some weeks where he was running 140 miles in a week. We talk about how Hudson made the transition into coaching from being a runner himself and selling shoes. The Hudson Elite team is making some noise with recent successes in the running community. They have a unique group of runners. We talk about how the runners he coaches are developmental athletes with jobs and school and life trying to train and get better. All of Hudson’s athletes do coaching and use Final Surge as part of their coaching program. You can find out more about his coaching programs at HudsonElite.com. Proceeds from the athletes coaching mostly go to the club to help support the athletes. Everyone Hudson coaches, and every coach that works for Hudson Elite uses Final Surge. One of the reasons Hudson likes Final Surge so much is because it is simple to use, but has all the features he needs. One book Hudson wrote with Matt Fitzgerald is Run Fast. Now he has released a new book The Little Black Book Redux. We talk about what is new in this book and what makes them so different. The Black Book Redux is all the workouts he has picked up over his running and coaching career. The new book has over 200 elite workouts. The book can be found at CoachHudson.com We discuss how even though these are elite runners workouts, which any athlete can take them and adapt them for themselves. The book covers everything from 800 meters through the marathon. We talk about what advice Hudson would have to a college runner who wants to continue running post-collegiate. Not every elite runner starts out as an elite runner out of college. Many starts as a developmental athlete and Hudson gives us an example of what a typical day of a developmental runner looks like. Hudson shares with us some of the things he is working on to help keep his runners healthy and running consistently as consistency is the most important thing in distance running. Hudson stresses how he does not mess with runners form but works on making them more efficient with drills and strength exercises. A couple of questions that came in from Twitter. How many times a year should non-elite runners take a break from hard training and focus more on a traditional base phase Second question form Twitter, how long after a goal race (not a marathon) can you re-race while maintaining specific endurance benefits.
