On Sunday, more than 50,000 athletes are expected to compete in the New York City Marathon, one of the largest, and most elite marathons in the world. Running a continuous 26.2 miles is a major physical challenge. But what exactly is happening in the body when running such a long distance?Joining guest host Rachel Feltman to answer questions from long-distance runners is Dr. Brandee Waite, Director of UC Davis Health Sports Medicine. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Waite has directed the medical care for multiple marathons and ultra-marathons, and has served as a team physician for USA Track & Field.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In this episode of the Critical Oxygen podcast, Coach Aaron Geiser and I discuss goal setting and how it impacts training. We emphasize the importance of setting SMART goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. We also discuss the difference between outcome goals and process goals, and how both can be effective in motivating athletes. We share our own personal goals and how they shape their training plans. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of setting goals that are challenging yet achievable, and how they can drive progress and improvement in athletic performance. TAKEAWAYS 1) Measure intensity and choose workouts based on your current abilities and goals. 2) Progress gradually towards long-term goals to avoid injury and ensure consistent improvement. 3) Align your training with your specific goals and prioritize the events that will help you reach those goals. 4) Set clear and realistic goals to stay focused and motivated, and regularly reassess and adjust them as needed.

Knowing how to plan your everyday meals around run training is tricky!Today we are sharing our tips and planning techniques to help you plan to eat the correct foods at the correct times in the correct amounts to fuel training.This becomes increasingly important as a runner increases their training load. Very few people have the same daily routine so it's helpful to be able to be flexible with your food choices as well as your training schedule. If you eat at the same food at the same time every day, regardless of your run training that can result in hunger, cravings, and low energy and poor recovery.Today we are going to cover:1. What to consider when syncing your training and food plan to support you2. Planning your food around morning run training3. Planning your food around evening run trainingA BIG thank you to our Show Sponsor AMAZING JANE ACTIVE WEAR. Please use discount code RHH10 for 10% off ALL purchases at www.amazingjane.com SHOW NOTES(04:26)Where to start when synchronising food plans with training. Consider:Training plans/intentions - consider distance, type of training, timing of training, and then start planning out your training “on paper” so you can factor food into your plan.Ideally map out one week so you can see at a glance what training you'll be doing and at what time.On training days it's key to ask yourself what your requirements are for pre/during and post fuelling and what athlete plate should you be following i.e. for easy or moderate or hard training.It's also important to consider what you have been eating and drinking before your run and that may include the day before your training run.(10:11)Pros and Cons of being an early Morning RunnerPositives:Fasted state running – if you are planning an easy run of less than 90 minutes in duration you may run in a fasted state – so no food, only water. Fasted state running will support fat metabolismEnergy boost before work – gets the endorphins activeCons:Waking early – make sure you are getting enough sleep so perhaps going to bed earlierTime restrictions – you'll need to factor in time for your run and recovery before going on with the rest of your dayEnhanced warm up after a night in bed – remember to warm up before starting your run (11:29)Planning Tips for Morning RunnersOur advice would be if planning a long run early morning so a run that will be 90 minutes or longer: Prepare the night before e.g. lay out running kit, snacks and water for during the run and prepare your pre run breakfastEat a carbohydrate rich meal the night beforePrepare breakfast the night before - maybe eat it before you get dressed so you are factoring in some time to digest your food. Choose easy to digest foods and you may even consider a liquid breakfast like a smoothie (14:31)A planning example for a morning runner who is doing a long run say 2.5 hours plus covering 13-14 miles and they plan to set off from home at 630am.Most people will need at least 1 hour to digest food before setting out on a run. So, if you plan to start running at 630am, you'll need to eat at 530am. When you are practiced in eating before running, you may be able have a shorter eating window.Our suggestion would be to have a glass of water as soon as you wake up, then eat your pre run breakfast, then get dressed and do your warmup...

What are the main considerations for someone who is over 50 when starting a run training plan?  On this week's podcast, Taren and Jamie discuss everything there is to know about running over 50, including: How does a run training plan for someone who is over 50 differ from a training plan for a younger person? Should injury prevention be a bigger consideration if you are over 50? What happens to the body as it gets older as it relates to the gains in aerobic capacity and speed? Is there a limit or is capacity reduced? Is it possible to achieve fitness levels that you may have seen in your younger years, achieve the same times and maybe even beat them? Will it take longer for someone who is over 50 to build to running certain distances than a younger person? How much should strength training be a part of a run training plan for someone who is over 50? What else can over 50s to do prevent injuries in their training eg taking supplements? Should run training plans integrate more cross training/non weight baring/non impact aerobic training eg swimming or cycling to reduce risk of injury?

Born to Run inspired runners all over the world with its story of the Tarahumara Indians alongside Christopher McDougall's quest to run with more joy and less pain. The follow up book digs into the details of training principles you can apply to your own running. Joining us are Christopher McDougall and his longtime coach, Eric Orton.  Their newest book - Born to Run 2 - lays out the path that McDougall followed as he went from chronically injured to successful ultrarunner.   Their new book helps runners revitalize their running through a combination of training principles and supplementary work that prepares the  body to run efficiently. We  focus on several important concepts of the Born to Run approach, including a “speed first” mentality, ways to instill better form, and how to use shoes and barefoot running to your advantage. Whether you're trying to bounce back from injury or find a new way to approach and improve your running, our conversation is filled with practical, actionable training philosophy, including: The value of working on speed before distance How faster running naturally enables better running form Ways that runners can analyze their own form and work on better technique The Rock Lobster cue you'll never forget! What it means to have a supple body that is ready to run Practical ways to implement minimalist running, and how "supershoes" fit into the picture I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!

Lately it seems athletes have been dealing with illness and training disruptions.  In this episode, I talk a bit about how I generally work with athletes to decide training regarding illness, as well as some ways to use down time productively to make the most of time not running.  Often athletes will be very ambitions with training disruptions and I think making sure objectives are reasonable can go a long way to staying set up for success!If you appreciate this content and would like to support Coach O, donations can be made here: paypal.me/teamocoachingRun Coaching Services - www.TeamOcoaching.comYou can also find us on our social media accounts for more education and inspiration.Instagram: @teamocoachingFacebook: teamocoachingSong: Lostboy & Slashtaq - Elysium [NCS Release]

Sleep deprivation may affect running performance.

In this episode we talk about concepts from coach Steve Magness' new book Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and the Surprising science of Real Toughness.  Specifically I look at how a sense of control and choice with regard to difficult situations can play a key role to overcoming challenges and finding success.  In the book Steve discusses individuals who feel they have no control or choice in their situations often end up with poorer performance, and sometimes just flat out give up.  I talk a bit about what Steve has found to combat this as well as some key areas to focus on so you can continue to forge ahead and find success. If you appreciate this content and would like to support Coach O, donations can be made here: paypal.me/teamocoachingRun Coaching Services - www.TeamOcoaching.comYou can also find us on our social media accounts for more education and inspiration.Instagram: @teamocoachingFacebook: teamocoachingSong: Lostboy & Slashtaq - Elysium [NCS Release]
