In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with the wonderful Ben Ridley - Perth runner, Delirious West athlete, self-declared road runner, proud husband of Karin Ridley, and possibly one of the most committed “super crew” members in the ultra-running world. Ben's story starts with a childhood full of sport - footy, swimming, surf lifesaving, T-ball, basketball - basically everything except running. Because running? Absolutely not. Ben grew up with chronic asthma, tricky knees, and a very strong dislike of running. But life has a funny way of circling back. After years of work, family life, health challenges, weight struggles, FIFO, mental health battles, and a major lifestyle shift, Ben and Karin found themselves at parkrun. And that changed everything. What started as a Saturday morning “why would anyone do this?” moment slowly became 5Ks, 10Ks, trails, half marathons, Feral Pig, Delirious West, 100 milers, 200 miler attempts, big DNFs, big lessons, big friendships, and a running life Ben never expected. This episode is funny, honest, emotional, and very Ben. We talk about weight loss surgery, running for mental health, the magic of parkrun, the chaos of Delirious West, crewing Karin, hallucinations, chafing, broken tyres, beers at aid stations, podcast-fuelled road running, and why community might be the greatest thing running has given him. Why You'll Love This Episode Ben shares: How he went from not being able to run a couple of hundred metres to becoming an ultra runner Why parkrun was the perfect no-pressure place to begin How he and Karin rebuilt their health together The reality of weight loss surgery - and why it was definitely not the “easy way out” His first 50K at Feral Pig and why he was “carrying on like a pork chop” halfway through His unforgettable Delirious West 100 miler finish with only 30 minutes to spare What it was like crewing Karin through her 200 miler after his own race ended The grief and emotion of losing his mum during Delirious Why DNFs hurt, but don't define you How running has become one of his biggest mental health tools Why he's currently loving road running, Melbourne Marathon training, and running into the MCG Why running with mates, coffee after parkrun, and pub run friendships matter so much Why Delirious still has baggage, but also still has a pull How he's heading back to Delirious with mates for the Great Southern Beer Run Tips From Ben Ben shared some really practical, honest advice for runners who are struggling to get out the door: 1. Find your reason why Don't just run because you “should.” Work out why it matters to you. Is it your mental health? Your fitness? Your friendships? A goal? A bit of space from life? That reason helps get you moving when motivation disappears. 2. Remember how you feel once you're out there Ben says the hardest part is often getting out the door. Once you're moving, things start to shift. Your head clears. Life feels a bit lighter. The run does what it came to do. 3. Use something that helps you get started For Ben, that might be a podcast, music, a book, or just being out on the trail listening to birds and trees. The point is simple: make the run easier to begin. 4. Run with people when you can Community has been huge for Ben. Parkrun, pub run, trail events, Ultra Series, coffee after runs - these people have become lifelong friends. Sometimes running is less about the running and more about who it brings into your life. 5. Walking counts Ben's reminder is simple and brilliant: Half an hour is better than nothing. If you can't run, walk. If you can't do the full plan, do something. It still matters. 6. Strength training helps Ben is a big believer in strength work for runners, especially if you want to keep running longer distances, reduce injury risk, and avoid the post-run “can't sit down on the toilet” situation. Very practical. Very true. A Beautiful Reminder From Ben's Story Ben's story is a reminder that running doesn't have to start perfectly. You don't need to grow up as “a runner.” You don't need to be fast. You don't need to have it all together. You can start with one parkrun. You can walk. You can struggle. You can DNF. You can come back. And somewhere along the way, running might become less about proving something - and more about finding your people, clearing your head, and becoming someone you never expected to be. Connect With Ben You'll most likely find Ben at parkrun, pub run, crewing Karin, running roads, signing up for something ridiculous with mates, or preparing for his next Delirious adventure. And if you see him at an aid station, he may remind you: You did choose to do this. Delirious WEST event Website - https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ Interested in the 2027 DW?

“By the time we get there, I don't think we'll leave any stone unturned for the first one. There's still room to grow, but I do think I'll be very ready.”My guest for today's episode is Emma Grace Hurley: an ASICS athlete and one of the most consistent American road racers of the last two years. She trains under Andrew and Amy Begley at Heartland Track Club in Indianapolis, and in 2026 she has already set the American Record at 8K (24:29 at the Shamrock Shuffle), won the USATF 10-Mile title at Cherry Blossom, won the 25K title at the Gate River Run and finished second at the USATF 5K Championships in her own city, running 15:00 flat to miss the sub-15 barrier by four-tenths of a second.She is also, as of this week, officially confirmed as one of the scoring members of the U.S. half marathon team for Copenhagen — one of the three athletes who were misdirected in the closing mile of the USATF Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta in March. World Athletics granted a special exception that will allow seven American women to compete, with Jess McClain, Emma Grace, and Ednah Kurgat as the scoring athletes alongside Weini Kelati. The top three official finishers — Molly Born, Carrie Ellwood, and Annie Rodenfels — will make their international debuts as non-scoring athletes.What makes Emma Grace one of the more interesting stories in American distance running right now is the shape of her career. She graduated from Furman in 2020 with a 15:57 5K personal best, quit running entirely, took a client associate job at JP Morgan, and did not think she was coming back to the sport. She is now a 15:00 road 5K runner, an 8K American record holder, a national 10-mile champion, and a two-event Worlds qualifier. She has not run a marathon yet — it's happening this fall.In this conversation, recorded in Brooklyn, we get into all of it: what it actually took to bounce back after Atlanta and immediately set a national record three weeks later, why she doesn't love the track but is a 15-flat road 5K runner, the Cherry Blossom 10-mile where she lost the overall by one second to a woman who finished seventh in the 10,000m at the Tokyo Olympics, the moment she finally felt like the long slow build was paying off, and what scares her most about the marathon block ahead.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez⁠Guest: Emma Grace Hurley | @emmagracehurleyProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: Xendurance Protein is designed specifically to help your body recover, rebuild, and get stronger after training.

Auch abseits der Rennstrecke war einiges los, denn Hendrik ist in eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem US-Sprinter Fred Kerley geraten – was genau passiert ist und was dahintersteckt, besprechen wir in dieser Folge ebenfalls. Dazu greifen wir ein Thema auf, das euch offenbar besonders beschäftigt: Laufen im Dunkeln.____*

In this episode of the RunThrough Trails Podcast, James Tilley is joined by GB athlete Lawrence McCourt to talk through his journey from the strong club scene in Gateshead to representing Great Britain on the international stage.Lawrence reflects on discovering running through school cross country, stepping away from the sport due to injuries and life changes, and how the COVID period reignited his passion through local races and the people around him. They get into the differences between fell racing, trail running and the roads, and why returning to road racing played a key role in rebuilding his confidence.The conversation also explores the growing crossover between disciplines, what it felt like to make his Great Britain debut, and how community continues to shape his approach to the sport. Lawrence shares what he has learned along the way and looks ahead to future ambitions, including a potential move up to the marathon distance and more major trail competitions.

If the early days of 2026 are any indication, the year ahead might be one for the history books in Canadian road running. This past weekend saw the fall of not one, but two national records in two of the most hotly-contested distances, the 10K and the half-marathon. Within the span of just a few hours, the duo of Kieran Lumb and Rory Linkletter lowered the all-time best marks at the 10K and half, breaking new ground for Canadian distance running by eclipsing the elusive 28-minute and 1-hour marks, respectively. After a mid-season coaching change in 2025 to begin working with Gjert Ingebrigtsen–the estranged father and former coach of multi-time Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen–Lumb's pivot and subsequent move to a new training base in Europe paid off on Sunday morning in Valencia, Spain. His mark of 27 minutes and 50 seconds over 10K made him the first Canadian to dip under 28 minutes on the roads, eclipsing Charles Philibert-Thiboutot's 2025 mark of 28:10.Mere hours later, in Houston, Texas, Linkletter continued the momentum of a career-defining 2025 season by reclaiming the Canadian half-marathon record with a 59:49 clocking, besting Cam Levins's mark by nearly 30 seconds and becoming the first Canadian man to break the one-hour barrier.Lumb and Linkletter join this week's episode of The Shakeout Podcast to recap their record-breaking weekend and to set the tone for a year of action in Canadian running that is off to an historic start.Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Check out @Kieran.M.Lumb & @Rory_Linkletter on Social MediaHuge thank you to this week's sponsor Smartwool.

Despite rising total participation in road races, the gap between male and females toeing the line is growing. This week on the Shakeout Podcast we bring you part one of our two part series examining the gender gap in road race participation. Joining the show today is Dr. Sasha Gollish, co-host of the “Strong Girl Talk” Podcast, author of the Yellow Running Shoe newsletter, and Chartered Professional Coach (ChPC). A Canadian masters record holder, Canadian University Champion, and multi-time Canadian National team member on the road, track, and trail Sasha has long been a champion of promoting gender equity and initiatives that support higher female participation in athletics. She joins us today to share her perspective from a lifetime of involvement in running, and highlight some of the promising initiatives currently underway.

Episode notesIn this episode, we will talk about the difference between treadmill running, road running, and trail running. Is there a difference? Tune in now and find out!Timestamps of big takeawaysRunning is Running[00:55] Once you change your thoughts on running, how you describe yourself as a runner will change. You can say that you run on trails, treadmills, roads, on the hills, etc. Running itself is still running regardless of where you do it.The Difference Between Running on Different Terrains[01:44] Regardless of the terrain, you want to be in the Running Pose. The fall element changes for everybody because we all need to hold our posture, but the running pose itself remains the same in any running situation. The only action you have is pulling your foot up from whatever surface you're on.Controlled Action[05:16] When you're pulling in place, you are doing a controlled action. When you're standing in place, you are actively pulling your foot up using your hamstring. However, when your body falls forward, and your weight travels forward, you're only pulling 2% of your body weight and only using 10% active muscle contraction.The Falling Aspect of Running[06:21] For most people, running is already hard. You have to deal with your breathing, your body weight, balancing, and then there's the muscular efforts in your legs. You're using your musculoskeletal system as well, and actively working the body. When you're running on a very soft trail, or mud or sand, you are getting some fall because you're traveling. The more squishy the ground is, the more the foot will sink. When you sink into the ground, you have to work a little harder to get that foot back up, rather than just falling.[07:58] You can use gravity to your advantage, anyone. The more you understand that and simply pull your foot just enough to break contact with the ground, the more you will release your body from a lot of work.Rate, Review & Subscribe ReminderDon't forget to like and subscribe to our show.

The 2025 Kia K4 compact sedan takes center stage in this episode as Host Jack Nerad gives its two key versions thorough test drives and sits down with its chief product planner, Kia America's Young Kim, in an exclusive interview to unpack its bold features and market potential. A finalist for North American Car of the Year, the 2025 Kia K4 offers a bold exterior design and feature-rich interior. As the successor to the Kia Forte, the K4 blends fastback-inspired styling with a wide, confident stance. The K4 is powered by a choice of two engines: a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a 190-horsepower 1.6-liter turbocharged engine paired with a conventional eight-speed automatic transmission. Key exterior elements include vertically oriented LED headlights, a sleek roofline with hidden rear door handles, and an available GT-Line Turbo trim featuring sporty gloss black accents and 18-inch alloy wheels. Its larger dimensions contribute to its class-leading interior space, including a remarkable 38 inches of rear legroom. Inside, the K4 leads the segment with cutting-edge technology, including a segment-first 30-inch digital display that integrates the instrument cluster and infotainment screen. In this week's road tests, Jack Nerad takes us behind the wheel of the eminently likable 2025 Volvo S60 T8 AWD Plug-In Hybrid Ultra. Combining luxury, cutting-edge technology, and sustainable performance, the S60 T8 features a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined 455 horsepower and 523 lb-ft of torque. With an 18.8 kWh battery, it offers an impressive 41-mile all-electric range and achieves a 74 MPGe efficiency rating. Across the country, Co-Host Chris Teague sums up his lengthy stint in the 2025 Honda Odyssey, a vehicle that continues to set a benchmark for family-friendly minivans. With its refreshed exterior design and spacious interior, the Odyssey provides seating for up to eight passengers and exceptional cargo space, making it ideal for families like Chris's as Christmas looms. Under the hood, its time-tested 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers smooth performance and reasonable fuel efficiency. Special features include Honda's Magic Slide second-row seats for flexibility, a rear entertainment system with built-in streaming apps, and CabinWatch and CabinTalk technology. Teague will have more in his full report. Driving News In the news this week, Honda is reigniting excitement among enthusiasts with the revival of its iconic Prelude nameplate. This time, the legendary coupe returns as a hybrid-electric sports car, blending Honda's celebrated performance heritage with forward-looking electrification. But will it win the hearts of longtime Prelude enthusiasts? Chris and Jack will offer their thoughts. Porsche is celebrating 50 years of turbocharging innovation with a special four-part YouTube series that explores the legacy of its groundbreaking engineering.

Running has the power to create a strong sense of community, but when it comes to road running and trail running they have very little in common aside from putting one foot in front of the other. These sports require different skills and come with their own set of challenges. This is part of what makes them so much fun. While we love both of these sports, we thought it would be fun to debate who are the better athletes: road runners or trail runners? You typically need more all-out speed to excel on the roads and it takes some time to callus your legs to the impact of racing on hard pavement. This doesn't mean it's any easier than trail running though, which takes a lot of agility navigating different terrains and precision to fuel for more time on your feet. There's no easy way to answer who are the better athletes so RC coach Hayley Munn joins the show to help settle this question.  We can't promise we'll follow any formal debate rules but we can promise a fun conversation that will including topics like: What skills separate road runners from trail runners? Which types of runners are the better athletes? Which type of running is the most fun?

Follow Aaron on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/aaron.goes.up/ We also talk about how he got into trail running, his transition from road running and triathlons, and how he made his way into race directing. Towards the end, we offer tips and advice for anyone looking to break into the trail running industry. We wrap up by discussing the importance of putting runners first and ensuring a positive race experience. I believe trail running will continue to grow, with more competitive races and greater national exposure on the horizon. takeaways Aaron Barber shares his experiences in trail running and race directing He discusses races in extreme heat and international races Aaron talks about his unique hallucination experiences during races He explains the challenges of racing in a different culture Aaron shares how he got into trail running and his transition from road running and triathlons The episode ends with tips and advice for getting into the trail running industry Transitioning from one sport to another requires a shift in training mindset and approach.

In this episode, I answer a question on doing your long runs on trails vs road and what benefits you gain.Send questions through to tim@trainsmooth.com  

Sometimes all it takes is a little change to get out of a rut. This proved true for both guests on today's show, coach Hayley Green and Cherie Turner. After years in the sport, they both discovered a passion for new racing distances and are having way more fun too after making the change.  Hayley recently traded her focus on road marathons for longer ultra trail races and Cherie discovered she much preferred shorter distances to the ultramarathons she was accustomed to. The common theme here is change and how it can make you a better runner. If you've ever found yourself hitting a plateau or lacking motivation then you're going to relate to these stories. Running is a sport that rewards consistency and repetition but that doesn't mean you have to feel like you're doing the same thing again and again. There are so many different ways to participate in running. Trying something new might be exactly what you need to reignite your passion or reach new levels of fitness. This show is all about the benefits of trying something new including topics such as: How a change in training can make you a better athlete How to overcome a lack of motivation with your running How your abilities can carry-over to other events or distances Signs it might be time for you to change up your training routine I think these lessons are valuable for just about any distance or even for life outside running and I can't wait to share them with you.  Women's running stories podcast Connect, Comment, Community Follow RunnersConnect on Instagram Join the Elite Treatment where you get first dibs on everything RTTT each month!

In 1867, John Muir set out on foot to explore the botanical wonders of the South, keeping a detailed journal of his adventures as he traipsed from Kentucky southward to Florida. One hundred and fifty years later, on a similar whim, veteran Atlanta reporter Dan Chapman, distressed by sprawl-driven environmental ills in a region he loves, recreated Muir's journey to see for himself how nature has fared since Muir's time. Channeling Muir, he uses humor, keen observation, and a deep love of place to celebrate the South's natural riches. But he laments that a treasured way of life for generations of Southerners is endangered as long-simmering struggles intensify over misused and dwindling resources. Chapman seeks to discover how Southerners might balance surging population growth with protecting the natural beauty Muir found so special. Each chapter touches upon a local ecological problem—at-risk species in Mammoth Cave, coal ash in Kingston, Tennessee, climate change in the Nantahala National Forest, water wars in Georgia, aquifer depletion in Florida—that resonates across the South. Chapman delves into the region's natural history, moving between John Muir's vivid descriptions of a lush botanical paradise and the myriad environmental problems facing the South today. Along the way he talks to locals with deep ties to the land—scientists, hunters, politicians, and even a Muir impersonator—who describe the changes they've witnessed and what it will take to accommodate a fast-growing population without destroying the natural beauty and a cherished connection to nature. A Road Running Southward: Following John Muir's Journey Through an Endangered Land (Island Press, 2022) is part travelogue, part environmental cri de coeur, and paints a picture of a South under siege. It is a passionate appeal, a call to action to save one of the loveliest and most biodiverse regions of the world by understanding what we have to lose if we do nothing. Matt Simmons is an Assistant Professor of History at Emmanuel University where he teaches courses in U.S. and public history. His research interests focus on the intersection of labor and race in the twentieth-century American South. Connect with him at Matthew Simmons | LinkedIn. Learn more about your ad choices.

The midstance phase of a running stride is a crucial element of running form, but many runners are ignoring it. If you have weaknesses, imbalances, or poor movement patterns, this is the part of the gait cycle that will show it. Chris Johnson, DPT is a Seattle-based physical therapist, performance coach, entrepreneur, and multiple time Kona IRONMAN qualifier who shares how midstance affects your running performance and how you can improve it. In this episode, Chris and I talk about: Midstance importance in running mechanics and injury prevention The impact midstance has on muscles and running form Common problems in midstance technique from knees to hips The gluteus medius muscle, a common problem area for runners Training the gluteus maximus and hip abductors for running mechanics How to train the midstance for stronger running Single leg exercises for runners with injuries “Movement snacks” for runners: simple movements throughout the day to help runners improve midstance This is an excellent episode for any runner who's considering how their running form plays into their performance, even beyond midstance mechanics.

The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

There are two back stories in Scripture that inform all the others, "Exodus," and "Exile," and we know the first because we've seen the movie. We have chapters and chapters on the Exodus, but with the Exile there are only whispers. In this podcast we will consider what it meant for God's people to lose their homes, their Temple, and most importantly, their Ark, all while discovering God is always near.Question: How have we coped with loss? How did we get busy?How is God revealed to us in times of pain?
