We often see books for either beginner runner's or the elites, but the largest portion of runners is somewhere in between. This is why authors Anji Andrews and Martin Yelling decided to write Running in the Midpack, How to be a Strong, Successful, and Happy Runner, which is a book for the midpack runner. Midpackers train hard and have big goals, so this book aims to help them progress in their running. Midpackers also have jobs and families, so the book the book tries to give tips on incorporating best practice into busy lives.There are 6 chapters and a conclusion:1.     The midpack runner2.     Psychology3.     Whole body health4.     Training5.     Nutrition6.     Race day7.     ConclusionIn this episode of the podcast we had the pleasure of interviewing both authors, and hope that you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Thanks to Bloomsbury for providing review copies of the book, and also for helping to put us in touch with the authors.If you are interested in getting a copy of the book, it can be found directly on the Bloomsbury website here: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/running-in-the-midpack-9781472973405/ Any feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

EPISODE NOTES In this episode, Claire talks with Darryl Walsh and Dr Martin Yelling, founders of Stormbreak: a registered charity promoting movement and physical activity to improve mental health in primary schools. Despite their quite different backgrounds, Martin and Darryl came together with a shared interest in using movement to equip children with sustainable, transferable skills and coping strategies that can be drawn upon to promote good mental health into adult life. The result was Stormbreak which works with schools, children and staff to deliver training and coaching programmes to up-skill teachers and equip children with a variety of useful strategies and inclusive approaches. Martin and Darryl discuss how important movement and physical activity within schools is and how useful it can be for the development of good mental health for both children and adults. They share some great tips and advice including addressing some of the misconceptions around movement in education and how some activities in school might be adapted or further developed.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Little and often is best for long-term gains. Rather than just having mental health focus weeks, or infrequent wellbeing activities or days, building in discussions about mental health within day-to-day teaching and normalising conversations on these topics can have real long-term benefits. Too often, mental health and wellbeing can get lost, forgotten or be inadvertently treated as an ‘add on’. The key is considering what needs to be in place to achieve sustainable improvements rather than have a ‘sticking plaster’ approach. Get teachers to be confident with movement. There can be a perception that you need to be ‘good’ at sport or physical activity to be able to bring movement into your teaching or routines more generally and beyond the elements found within PE. However, there is no such thing as being ‘good’ with movement, especially in regards to introducing it as something that can benefit mental health. It should be something that all teachers can feel confident with doing at any point.   BEST MOMENTS "It was really clear to me that that teachers get very little or no training on mental health at all in their in their training. Yet the prevalence of need for children within schools was quite high." "For me, there needed to be something different. Something sustainable. Something that looked at prevention at scale. Something that looked at supporting children and giving them a toolkit: skills and knowledge to be able to support themselves with their mental health as they work their way through childhood to adulthood." "We work with five different mental health concepts: Self-worth, self-care, resilience, relationships, and hope and optimism. And you can't work with those concepts with the children, talking about those things with the children, without reflecting on them for yourself." "What we see when we do our programmes with teachers is they say to us, 'I need this so much for my own wellbeing.'" "Why do we wait until we are grownups to realise that [movement] is a benefit? If we see movement through the right lenses, and we're helped to understand how it can support us in so many different ways, then we can build it in to our life." "As adults, we often rediscover that movement is something that is helpful to support our mental health. But why should we have to wait until we're adults to be able to know that?" "What we see is that when you place wellbeing at the heart of the life of the school, other things really flow as well." "A really important thing about moving is there's no need to be good. What is good? There shouldn't be an elitism around movement. You don't need to be 'good'. You just need to do it." "I don't care how fast you run a mile. I don't care if you keep going or not. What we care about is 'what's the quality of the conversation you're able to have with your friends around you?'" "Teachers are under intense pressure at the moment. Teachers' lives are busy and children are coming full of uncertainty and anxiety. The emotional feeling in the classroom is charged in a way it's not been charged before. One thing a teacher can do is just allow themselves the opportunity in that day to have a small window of time to listen."   VALUABLE RESOURCES Stormbreak website: https://stormbreak.org.uk/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hellostormbreak Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellostormbreak LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/darryl-walsh-5a29b32b Classroom Secrets Kids: https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/   ABOUT THE HOST 'My mother is a teacher. I will never be a teacher.' - Claire Riley Claire arrived at the end of her performing arts degree with no firm plans to move into the entertainment industry. A fully funded secondary teaching course seemed like the perfect way to stall for a year on deciding what to do with her life. Turns out, teaching was her thing.  Three years in a challenging secondary school - check. Two years in primary schools with over 90% EAL children - check. Eight years doing day-to-day supply across 4-18 - check. If there's one thing she learnt, it was how to identity the best ideas from every school in terms of resources and use that knowledge to create something that would work for teachers far and wide. In 2013, Classroom Secrets was born. Claire had seen other resource sites and wanted to add something to the market that she felt was missing. More choice + More quality = Balance. Claire is a self-proclaimed personal development junkie and is always looking for ways to learn and improve. It's usually centred around business, her new-found passion. In 2019, Claire launched The Teachers' Podcast that hits the charts on launch and is listed in the top 200 educational podcasts most weeks. The Teachers’ Podcast is a series of interviews where Claire meets with a wide range of guests involved in the field of education. These podcasts provide exciting discussions and different perspectives and thoughts on a variety of themes which are both engaging and informative for anyone involved in education.

Our running book of the month for March 2021 is 'Running In The Midpack' by Anji Andrews and Martin Yelling. Our Char and Jak invite runner and community builder Immy Kaur to discuss the book and talk all things training, nutrition and returning to parkrun.

Midpack runners – those who fall between the beginners and the elite – are the heartbeat and footsteps of the running community. In this long-overdue book, Marathon Talk's Martin Yelling and Anji Andrews share their expert knowledge, first-person stories and coaching ideas to nourish the midpackers' running experience. Covering such diverse topics as 'Making Yourself Bullet-proof' and 'How to Nail Your Race', Running in the Midpack will cultivate your running progress, and help you to become a healthy, happy and successful runner.

Martin is a former athlete himself representing England and Great Britain at a number of running and dual sport disciplines on the European and world stage. He has also competed at the big one, the Kona Ironman World Championships. He is married to the Olympic marathoner and Commonwealth medalist, Liz Yelling - so between them there's not much they don't know about endurance training, high performance mindset and how to coach people to success in their chosen sporting disciplines. Martin and Gaz talk combine their thoughts and talk about all things coping with stress, mindset, resilience, why challenge is important and what endurance really means.

Welcome to episode 50, a mini milestone for us and not long ago we've ticked over 50,000 downloads so thank you to all for tuning in and sharing what you've learnt from each episode - it encourages to keep producing more content for you. While we've hit some mini milestones, this week's guests has been part of some projects that have grown to become phenomenally successful. Tom Williams is Parkrun's Global Chief Operating Officer the incredible successful charity that provides free timed 5km runs for people around the world. At the time of recording Parkrun has had 60 million interactions of participants or volunteers with an average of 200 people in each event each week, supporting people to run over 200 million kms in total. Tom shares with us the spirit, culture and ethos of inspiring people to exercise through Parkruns.  Tom is also co-host of Marathon Talk with Martin Yelling, the incredibly successful podcast that has just had it's 500th episode - a feat of stamina in itself. It was fascinating to hear how with both Parkrun and Marathon Talk how these projects started because if you look at those statistics of achievements it can be quite intimidating. But that idea you've got, that we've got, has to start somewhere, they have to start at zero. Show notes; How did Marathon Talk podcast come to fruition? Being authentic on the podcast for both Martin and Tom Introversion, lack of structure and a small group of people can be difficult however standing up in from of 500 people can feel fantastic. The barrier between The beauty of running and talking What has Tom learnt from running the Marathon Talk podcast Tom's observation of the increasing uptake of marathon running Parkrun - a social intervention for a lonely bloke!! Paul was lacking in real social interaction and to all intents and purposes lonely despite having loads of ‘friends' the original ‘Parkrun' was set up to rectify this situation with friends. Parkrun isn't about the running, it's about sharing the experience Ironman qualification The danger of focussing on outcomes rather than our values, what is the essence of sport what it the essence of performance? 60 million instances in participation in the first 15 years The future of Parkrun - 900 million instance in participation in the next 15 years   Follow Tom on Twitter https://twitter.com/tomwilliams1974 Parkrun https://www.parkrun.com/ Marathon talk https://marathontalk.com/ Supporting Champions on Twitter www.twitter.com/support_champs Steve Ingham on Twitter www.twitter.com/ingham_steve Supporting Champions on Linkedin, www.linkedin.com/company/supporting-champions Instagram https://www.instagram.com/supportingchampions/ A reminder if you're keen to pre-register for the next wave of Graduate Membership enrolments then you can do so at https://supportingchampions.co.uk/membership/ If you're looking for some coaching support or some virtual team development help to support you to get to the next level in work, life or sport then take a look at https://supportingchampions.co.uk/coaching-mentoring/ or drop us a note at enquiries@supportingchampions.co.uk then you can sign up for a free consultation to explore which package is right for you.

Expisode 300 – Coach Andrew Kastor and much frivolity… (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4300.mp3] Link epi4300.mp3 Intro: Hello my friends and welcome to episode 300 of the RunRunLive podcast.  For those of you who have been friends for a bit you'll realize that this is a necessary departure from our standard format to celebrate our Tri-centennial.  For those of you who may be new to our little endurance sports journal, well you'll just have to figure it out by listening to some of the other shows.   Thanks you to Tony for the marathon prayer intro.  Tony does a regular segment called Tony's Trials on the Marathon Talk UK Podcast (link).  One of our executive editors, Alex form the UK got permission from them for us to use it.  Marathon Talk UK -> All about running. A weekly podcast dedicated to keeping you on the inside track to successful running. Presented by Martin Yelling and Tom Williams Tony Audenshaw - Tony's Trials I'm guessing we are going to go long today, so you'd better schedule a long run or ride or whatever for this one.  I've invited some of my friends to submit audios and I'm going to be completely frivolous and indiscrete with too many musical interludes.  Just sit back and let it wash over you like a wave of warm molasses.  Chill out.  No rules for this one.  It's going to be a long show and the format is going to be different than usual, but you want to hang around until the end because the ASICS team has asked me to give some shoes away and I'll set up the contest in the show outro.  Everybody likes free shoes.   It's been a long run, huh?  We've seen births and deaths and marriages and divorces.  The cycle of life.  For everything there is a season and you've certainly ornamented my life for the better through these many seasons.   In today's 300th official episode I'm going to talk about community at some point and this strange and wonderful long distance relationship we all share wrapped around our sports.  I may tell a zombie story, for the Halloween season, just for fun.   I've gathered up some guest commentary for you to enjoy, if for no other reason than to quiet the voices in your head.  But, Fear not! We are going to wrap all the frivolity around a great interview with coach Andrew Kastor who I met through the ASICS NYC marathon Editor's Choice boondoggle, I mean ‘program'.  I really enjoyed talking to Andrew about altitude training and geeking out on training topics in general.   It's a great running-content-rich interview and I feel I'm doing it a disservice by sandwiching it into all this 300th episode frooforal.  Nothing significantly new in my training.  I'm feeling fairly strong.  I got a nice 2:30 long run in over the weekend that was significant in that I was able to maintain my HR and pace consistently throughout without power failure.  Too many of my long runs over the summer ended with a death march – so I think that's progress.   I'm still trying to find my racing speed.  Maybe it's gone for good.  I appear to be healthy, so maybe I'm just entering a new phase of slowness.  It really doesn't matter because either way I'm going to get up every day and throw myself at my workouts as part of my balance.   With the MCM and NYC coming up in couple weeks on back to back weekends my plan is not to race them but instead try to walk away healthy.  Then we can throw in a targeted cycle for either a mid-winter race or a spring race.  I'm looking at some shorter stuff too to fill the gaps.   Looking forward to some grand adventures with new and old friends alike.  So…my friends, bear with me as we take off our shirts and dance on the tables today, throwing all rigor and caution to the wind, because, hey, we're among friends, and friends take the time to celebrate their accomplishments.   On with the show!  Steve Runner What can you say about Steve that hasn't been said?  He's the five-star General of running podcasts – a landmark – a fixture – a guiding light for all of us.  And, even though I know he doesn't listen to my show he caught on to the zombie theme and submitted a slickly produced mini-episode.  Brilliant as always.  Katy Thereux It always warms my heart when I hear from women who listen to the show and get something out of it.  Katy sent me this very nice missive.  Apparently we resonate in some way through the universal mastermind.  That's one of the dynamics of the digital world – your ideas can slip free of the physical and resonate with like minds in the ether.  Section One The Sleepless in Seattle Effect - http://runrunlive.com/sleepless-in-seattle-effect Music -> Bombskare –“I'm so Happy!” Carlos I've been listening to Carlos and watching him run through his beloved Pacific Northwest Mountains and forest for many years.  I would have never had the opportunity to know Carlos if it wasn't for being part of the online running community.  He's always got the Grateful Dead playing in the background.  It seems like an idyllic life to me, running in the forest and listening to the dead.  How could it get any better?  Ann Brennan So sometimes in the digital world you get to meet actual crazy people.  I've had the great pleasure of meeting Ann and her husband and kids and I've learned a lot from her trials and resiliency and openness.   If everything goes right I'll get to eat dinner at her place with the Miles to end Prostate cancer team before the Marine Corp Marathon.  The world is a better place with Ann's life force.   Steve Chopper Steve was one of the original running podcasters with his high quality show “A mile with me” I always aspired to be as professional as Steve.  His first shows were works of art, like BBC documentaries.  I've met Steve in the flesh and broken bread with him.  When we met we immediately bonded and of course we ran and raced each other like kids in the schoolyard.  Featured Interview Coach Andrew Kastor http://www.coachkastor.com/about/ About The Coach Andrew started his running career in the early 1990's, at the young age of 14, when he competed in cross county, track and road racing while attending Fountain Valley High School in Southern California. He then went on to pursue a degree in Exercise Physiology (B.S. 2000) from Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado. While in college, Andrew's commitment to the sport of running continued to grow, as he competed in cross-country and track, specializing in the middle-distance events. Post-graduation, Andrew moved to Mammoth Lakes, California, where he created and coached a non-profit running club called the High Sierra Striders. He is now the head coach for the ASICS Mammoth Track Club and the LA Road Runners. Andrew currently resides in Mammoth Lakes with his wife Deena (Olympic Marathon bronze medalist and American Record holder in the marathon and half-marathon) and their daughter, Piper Bloom. Music Big D and the Kid's Table – “Myself” Duane Hespell Comment:  Obviously I caught Duane on a good day.  I think he was just waiting for a chance to bust out with some creative audio.  He went all extra-mile on me.  That's another fun thing about our community – you discover people's hidden talents! Thanks Duane.   Maryro Mendez comment I've been having conversations with this young lady for a long time but I seldom hear her voice!  Wow! What an amazing voice!  I can die happy now.  We made a bet one time when we both had marathons on the same weekend. I happened to have a decent race so I won!  I don't care so much about the lobster dinner but I am happy to have made a friend that I'm grateful for.   Section Two:  Zombie Apocalypse - http://runrunlive.com/zombie-apocalypse-300-act-one Peter Herridge I first got to know Peter through Phedipidations as he and Steve traded philosophical arguments.  Peter is a thoughtful man and I enjoy listening to him turn big thoughts over in his head and look at them in a fresh, learned and interesting way.  I'd never get that chance if it wasn't for joining this community and my life would be poorer for it.  Eddie and Adam: What does it sound like when two long lost friends get together after a long absence and start drinking craft beer?  I guess this bit from Eddie and Adam answers that question.  I've spent time with both these guys and can confirm that when they're not addled on homebrew they're both way smarter than I am.  I'm hoping someday my association with them rubs off and I graduate to a better person because of it.  Outro:  Drag your tired body out of the mud.  Push back the ravenous hoards.  Celebrate! We've come to a milestone.  We've survived.  We've grown. We've run, we've run some more and maybe we've even lived a little.  I hope to keep that streak alive.  Frankly, I'm not sure what the show format is going to be going forward but I will do what I can to fill the void, to light a candle, to shine my feeble light into the dark and murky corners and find forgotten or unnoticed treasures, to weave into the tapestry of our mutual, digital experience.   ASICS Gel Kayano 21 NYC Shoe Give Away! Go here & post a comment to win some shoes -> http://runrunlive.com/asics-gel-kayano-21-nyc-shoe-give-away My friends at ASICS America want me to give away a pair of NYC GEL-Kayano 21.  These are $160 shoes.   I've never run in them (although I'm up to 5 different pairs of shoes that I'm testing to run NYC in ).  They are decribed on the ASICS website as follow.  The new GEL-Kayano® 21 NYC special edition was made for the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon and is updated with nothing but the best in ASICS technical innovation, featuring the next generation of FluidRide™ and an Ortholite X-40 sockliner for the lightest and most luxuriously stable ride yet. Mild to moderate overpronators will run the streets of New York City in secure comfort, thanks to the new uniquely designed FluidFit™ upper and Heel Clutching System™. So, it sounds like a light stability shoe.  If that sounds like something you want I've set up a post on my website at RunRunLive.com and all you have to do is go register.   We'll pick a winner on NYC race weekend.  Just make sure you give a real email address when you're posting or we won't be able to find you!  So my friends, as hard as it is to find the time to slap a show together every couple weeks, I really do enjoy it.  If it wasn't for the RunRunLive Podcast to keep me occupied I clearly would have written a best-selling novel by now, and then I would have sold the rights to Hollywood, gone out there, hooked up with the drugs, the alcohol and starlets with questionable morals. I would have gotten divorced, and I'd be sleeping in my own filth in a West Hollywood gutter right now...so you've saved me from all that.  I am almost done with my MarathonBQ book.  15 chapters in.  I had a couple people raise their hands for editing and I sent them drafts, but never heard from them again…  It took longer than a month but I wouldn't have gotten it done at all if I hadn't challenged myself.  I'll edit and polish it up and do a launch in the next couple months.   Here's an actual value added tip that I heard a couple weeks ago.  When you work on a creative process the emotional energy and momentum is shaped like a ‘U'.  When you first start you are all excited and full of energy and you make progress quickly, like the straight side of the ‘U'.   Then when you get part way through you start to realize all the things that need to be worked out and you get mired down.  You start going sideways into distracting offshoot.  You lose your momentum and your excitement for the project.  This is the bent part at the bottom of the ‘U'.   It is here that many people give up on their creative projects.  It becomes work and the light at the end of the tunnel seems so far away.  This is where experience helps.  You might say this phase of the creative project is similar to ‘the dark place' that I talk about in training cycles.   You have to put your head down, soldier on and push through.   Then as you approach the end of the creative project everything start to coalesce.  It all starts coming together.  Everything becomes clear and it is joyous again as you wrap things up and birth the finished product.  This is the other straight side of the ‘U'.   Remember the ‘U' process and it will help you stick to your path when things get hard.  It's been close to 2 years since we rolled out version 3.0 of the RunRunLive podcast.  As always you can find me on Gmail or most social networks as CYKTRussell.  All of my slightly bent U-shaped projects are available at my website RunRunLive.com.   And you know what?   I'll see you out there.  Music: Tim Armstrong – “Hold on”  Music in this show (All from Music Alley and Podsafe!)  The High Fidelics – “Spy_Smasher” The High Fidelics – “Mondo Rondo” The Vibro-tones – “Nova Express” The Vanes – “Bad Mea or Good Cheese” Benuts – Turn off your radio” The Fighting Cocks – “No Candy” The Fashionistas – Keep it underground” Big D and the Kid's Table – “Myself” 20 Riverside – “Throwin it down beside the sea” Unsteady – “Tokyo” Bombskare –“I'm so Happy!” Tim Armstrong – “Hold on”

Presented by Martin Yelling and Tom Williams Tony Audenshaw - Tony's Trials I’m guessing we are going to go long today, so you’d better schedule a long run or ride or whatever for this one.  I’ve invited some of my friends to submit audios and I’m going to be completely frivolous and indiscrete with too many musical interludes.  Just sit back and let it wash over you like a wave of warm molasses.  Chill out.  No rules for this one.  It’s going to be a long show and the format is going to be different than usual, but you want to hang around until the end because the ASICS team has asked me to give some shoes away and I’ll set up the contest in the show outro.  Everybody likes free shoes.   It’s been a long run, huh?  We’ve seen births and deaths and marriages and divorces.  The cycle of life.  For everything there is a season and you’ve certainly ornamented my life for the better through these many seasons.   In today’s 300th official episode I’m going to talk about community at some point and this strange and wonderful long distance relationship we all share wrapped around our sports.  I may tell a zombie story, for the Halloween season, just for fun.   I’ve gathered up some guest commentary for you to enjoy, if for no other reason than to quiet the voices in your head.  But, Fear not! We are going to wrap all the frivolity around a great interview with coach Andrew Kastor who I met through the ASICS NYC marathon Editor’s Choice boondoggle, I mean ‘program’.  I really enjoyed talking to Andrew about altitude training and geeking out on training topics in general.   It’s a great running-content-rich interview and I feel I’m doing it a disservice by sandwiching it into all this 300th episode frooforal.  Nothing significantly new in my training.  I’m feeling fairly strong.  I got a nice 2:30 long run in over the weekend that was significant in that I was able to maintain my HR and pace consistently throughout without power failure.  Too many of my long runs over the summer ended with a death march – so I think that’s progress.   I’m still trying to find my racing speed.  Maybe it’s gone for good.  I appear to be healthy, so maybe I’m just entering a new phase of slowness.  It really doesn’t matter because either way I’m going to get up every day and throw myself at my workouts as part of my balance.   With the MCM and NYC coming up in couple weeks on back to back weekends my plan is not to race them but instead try to walk away healthy.  Then we can throw in a targeted cycle for either a mid-winter race or a spring race.  I’m looking at some shorter stuff too to fill the gaps.   Looking forward to some grand adventures with new and old friends alike.  So…my friends, bear with me as we take off our shirts and dance on the tables today, throwing all rigor and caution to the wind, because, hey, we’re among friends, and friends take the time to celebrate their accomplishments.   On with the show!  Steve Runner What can you say about Steve that hasn’t been said?  He’s the five-star General of running podcasts – a landmark – a fixture – a guiding light for all of us.  And, even though I know he doesn’t listen to my show he caught on to the zombie theme and submitted a slickly produced mini-episode.  Brilliant as always.  Katy Thereux It always warms my heart when I hear from women who listen to the show and get something out of it.  Katy sent me this very nice missive.  Apparently we resonate in some way through the universal mastermind.  That’s one of the dynamics of the digital world – your ideas can slip free of the physical and resonate with like minds in the ether.  Section One The Sleepless in Seattle Effect - http://runrunlive.com/sleepless-in-seattle-effect Music -> Bombskare –“I’m so Happy!” Carlos I’ve been listening to Carlos and watching him run through his beloved Pacific Northwest Mountains and forest for many years.  I would have never had the opportunity to know Carlos if it wasn’t for being part of the online running community.  He’s always got the Grateful Dead playing in the background.  It seems like an idyllic life to me, running in the forest and listening to the dead.  How could it get any better?  Ann Brennan So sometimes in the digital world you get to meet actual crazy people.  I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting Ann and her husband and kids and I’ve learned a lot from her trials and resiliency and openness.   If everything goes right I’ll get to eat dinner at her place with the Miles to end Prostate cancer team before the Marine Corp Marathon.  The world is a better place with Ann’s life force.   Steve Chopper Steve was one of the original running podcasters with his high quality show “A mile with me” I always aspired to be as professional as Steve.  His first shows were works of art, like BBC documentaries.  I’ve met Steve in the flesh and broken bread with him.  When we met we immediately bonded and of course we ran and raced each other like kids in the schoolyard.  Featured Interview Coach Andrew Kastor http://www.coachkastor.com/about/ About The Coach Andrew started his running career in the early 1990’s, at the young age of 14, when he competed in cross county, track and road racing while attending Fountain Valley High School in Southern California. He then went on to pursue a degree in Exercise Physiology (B.S. 2000) from Adams State University in Alamosa, Colorado. While in college, Andrew’s commitment to the sport of running continued to grow, as he competed in cross-country and track, specializing in the middle-distance events. Post-graduation, Andrew moved to Mammoth Lakes, California, where he created and coached a non-profit running club called the High Sierra Striders. He is now the head coach for the ASICS Mammoth Track Club and the LA Road Runners. Andrew currently resides in Mammoth Lakes with his wife Deena (Olympic Marathon bronze medalist and American Record holder in the marathon and half-marathon) and their daughter, Piper Bloom. Music Big D and the Kid’s Table – “Myself” Duane Hespell Comment:  Obviously I caught Duane on a good day.  I think he was just waiting for a chance to bust out with some creative audio.  He went all extra-mile on me.  That’s another fun thing about our community – you discover people’s hidden talents! Thanks Duane.   Maryro Mendez comment I’ve been having conversations with this young lady for a long time but I seldom hear her voice!  Wow! What an amazing voice!  I can die happy now.  We made a bet one time when we both had marathons on the same weekend. I happened to have a decent race so I won!  I don’t care so much about the lobster dinner but I am happy to have made a friend that I’m grateful for.   Section Two:  Zombie Apocalypse - http://runrunlive.com/zombie-apocalypse-300-act-one Peter Herridge I first got to know Peter through Phedipidations as he and Steve traded philosophical arguments.  Peter is a thoughtful man and I enjoy listening to him turn big thoughts over in his head and look at them in a fresh, learned and interesting way.  I’d never get that chance if it wasn’t for joining this community and my life would be poorer for it.  Eddie and Adam: What does it sound like when two long lost friends get together after a long absence and start drinking craft beer?  I guess this bit from Eddie and Adam answers that question.  I’ve spent time with both these guys and can confirm that when they’re not addled on homebrew they’re both way smarter than I am.  I’m hoping someday my association with them rubs off and I graduate to a better person because of it.  Outro:  Drag your tired body out of the mud.  Push back the ravenous hoards.  Celebrate! We’ve come to a milestone.  We’ve survived.  We’ve grown. We’ve run, we’ve run some more and maybe we’ve even lived a little.  I hope to keep that streak alive.  Frankly, I’m not sure what the show format is going to be going forward but I will do what I can to fill the void, to light a candle, to shine my feeble light into the dark and murky corners and find forgotten or unnoticed treasures, to weave into the tapestry of our mutual, digital experience.   ASICS Gel Kayano 21 NYC Shoe Give Away! Go here & post a comment to win some shoes -> http://runrunlive.com/asics-gel-kayano-21-nyc-shoe-give-away My friends at ASICS America want me to give away a pair of NYC GEL-Kayano 21.  These are $160 shoes.   I’ve never run in them (although I’m up to 5 different pairs of shoes that I’m testing to run NYC in ).  They are decribed on the ASICS website as follow.  The new GEL-Kayano® 21 NYC special edition was made for the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon and is updated with nothing but the best in ASICS technical innovation, featuring the next generation of FluidRide™ and an Ortholite X-40 sockliner for the lightest and most luxuriously stable ride yet. Mild to moderate overpronators will run the streets of New York City in secure comfort, thanks to the new uniquely designed FluidFit™ upper and Heel Clutching System™. So, it sounds like a light stability shoe.  If that sounds like something you want I’ve set up a post on my website at RunRunLive.com and all you have to do is go register.   We’ll pick a winner on NYC race weekend.  Just make sure you give a real email address when you’re posting or we won’t be able to find you!  So my friends, as hard as it is to find the time to slap a show together every couple weeks, I really do enjoy it.  If it wasn’t for the RunRunLive Podcast to keep me occupied I clearly would have written a best-selling novel by now, and then I would have sold the rights to Hollywood, gone out there, hooked up with the drugs, the alcohol and starlets with questionable morals. I would have gotten divorced, and I’d be sleeping in my own filth in a West Hollywood gutter right now...so you’ve saved me from all that.  I am almost done with my MarathonBQ book.  15 chapters in.  I had a couple people raise their hands for editing and I sent them drafts, but never heard from them again…  It took longer than a month but I wouldn’t have gotten it done at all if I hadn’t challenged myself.  I’ll edit and polish it up and do a launch in the next couple months.   Here’s an actual value added tip that I heard a couple weeks ago.  When you work on a creative process the emotional energy and momentum is shaped like a ‘U’.  When you first start you are all excited and full of energy and you make progress quickly, like the straight side of the ‘U’.   Then when you get part way through you start to realize all the things that need to be worked out and you get mired down.  You start going sideways into distracting offshoot.  You lose your momentum and your excitement for the project.  This is the bent part at the bottom of the ‘U’.   It is here that many people give up on their creative projects.  It becomes work and the light at the end of the tunnel seems so far away.  This is where experience helps.  You might say this phase of the creative project is similar to ‘the dark place’ that I talk about in training cycles.   You have to put your head down, soldier on and push through.   Then as you approach the end of the creative project everything start to coalesce.  It all starts coming together.  Everything becomes clear and it is joyous again as you wrap things up and birth the finished product.  This is the other straight side of the ‘U’.   Remember the ‘U’ process and it will help you stick to your path when things get hard.  It’s been close to 2 years since we rolled out version 3.0 of the RunRunLive podcast.  As always you can find me on Gmail or most social networks as CYKTRussell.  All of my slightly bent U-shaped projects are available at my website RunRunLive.com.   And you know what?   I’ll see you out there.  Music: Tim Armstrong – “Hold on”  Music in this show (All from Music Alley and Podsafe!)  The High Fidelics – “Spy_Smasher” The High Fidelics – “Mondo Rondo” The Vibro-tones – “Nova Express” The Vanes – “Bad Mea or Good Cheese” Benuts – Turn off your radio” The Fighting Cocks – “No Candy” The Fashionistas – Keep it underground” Big D and the Kid’s Table – “Myself” 20 Riverside – “Throwin it down beside the sea” Unsteady – “Tokyo” Bombskare –“I’m so Happy!” Tim Armstrong – “Hold on”
