Podcasts about runners

Jason was recently a guest on the Restoring Human Movement Podcast about:  Strength training structure + mistakes (ideal for endurance runners) Why strength train in the first place?  Protein needs for runners (age, activity, etc.) The type of strength training that improves running economy Thank you to Dr. Mandy Riehl for hosting an amazing discussion! Learn more about strength training here. Thank you Kila! Kila offers the world's lightest insoles. Made with super shoe foam, they're 65-70% lighter than most orthotics and worn by elite runners like UTMB champ Tom Evans. Go to kilarun.com and use code STRENGTHRUNNING for $50 your first pair. Truthfully, I'm skeptical of insoles. I once had orthotics and they were heavy, they gave me blisters, and they weren't comfortable at all. Most importantly: they didn't help me. Kila is different: lighter, more comfortable, with no doctor visits and no hassles with insurance. All you need to do is scan your feet at home using your iPhone. It takes less than 5 minutes and Kila then uses a lab to design your insoles, build them from scratch, and ship them directly to you. If you're already wearing insoles, Kila's are a game-changer. Level up your insole game with the lightest custom insoles on the market - no clinic markup, no visit to a specialist, and you get the benefit and comfort of super shoe foam. Go to kilarun.com and use code STRENGTHRUNNING to upgrade your insoles and save $50 on your first pair. Thank you LMNT! A big thanks to LMNT for their support of this episode!

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, Kyle is off in Sydney, Australia chasing another World Marathon Major, so we are turning the microphone over to guest host Sierra Morris from The Run, Shattered Podcast. Sierra, also known as ShatteredRunner, brings her focus on mental skills, resilience, and the psychological side of running to a topic every runner needs: confidence. This episode dives into how confidence is built, why it matters in training, and how runners can strengthen their mindset before they ever reach the start line. Sierra explores the mental tools marathoners and ultramarathoners use to stay steady when races get hard, including visualization, breath work, mantras, preparation, and learning how to trust the work already done. Whether you are chasing a PR, attempting a new distance, coming back from a rough race, or just trying to believe you belong out there, this conversation is built for you. Confidence is not about pretending everything will go perfectly, it is about knowing you can handle the messy middle when things get uncomfortable. With Kyle halfway around the world and the Back of the Pack community watching the Sydney adventure unfold, this guest episode is the perfect reminder that running is never just about legs and lungs. Sometimes the biggest race-day breakthrough starts with what is happening between your ears.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/8269471100Most runners aren't training too hard. They're spreading the hard work too thin.Marius Bakken has spent thirty years proving it. The Norwegian physician and two-time Olympian pricked his finger more than 5,500 times—on himself, on training partners, on runners in Kenya—to map one narrow band of intensity, and the framework he built from it is what the world now calls the Norwegian Method. This conversation is the compressed version of his new book, The Norwegian Method Applied, out now on Amazon with a link in the show notes.We start where everyone should: defining threshold, and why the 4.0 mmol/L figure you were taught is the wrong anchor. Marius explains how to find your own zone without a meter by triangulating heart rate, pace, and the talk test, then walks through a full Norwegian Method week from Sunday to Saturday. Two double-threshold days, one genuinely hard session, easy running held strictly under 70 percent of max heart rate. The logic behind stacking two threshold sessions into one day rather than scattering them across the week is the whole argument in miniature.Then the part most people skip when they copy the method: the muscular case. Marius argues that muscles, not the heart and lungs, cap how much training a runner can absorb, and that muscle tone is why some days feel effortless and others don't. He gets into why carbon-plated shoes are the first thing he checks when an injured runner walks into his clinic, where strength work belongs in the week, how he'd build a national-championship high school program, and where this method stops working.His three takeaways, unedited: run easy on the easy days, control intensity on the hard days, limit intense work to once a week. Then see what happens.Tap into the Marius Bakken Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

With race weekend finally here, The Final Stretch comes to a close from Sydney, Australia, just two days before the TCS Sydney Marathon. At this point, there is no more fitness to build, no more missed workouts to chase, and no more cramming left to do, which means readiness has officially stopped being a question and become a decision. We talk about the last things we can still control, from hydration, nutrition, rest, and race-week logistics to making sure a Saturday 5K does not become an accidental dress rehearsal for disaster. We also tackle jet lag, unpredictable weather, race-day nerves, and why nothing new belongs anywhere near our shoes, fuel, clothing, or strategy this late in the game. With A, B, and C goals still in play, we look at why solving the mile we are actually in matters far more than worrying about mile 22 before the gun even fires. There is also a bigger reminder woven through this finale: whether we are standing at a World Marathon Major or a neighborhood 5K, getting to a start line is something worth appreciating rather than taking for granted. Sydney was never part of the original plan, but one unexpected lottery acceptance turned it into another chapter in a journey that has already stretched through Chicago, New York, Boston, Berlin, and Tokyo. The work is finished, the bags are packed, and now there is only one thing left to do: trust what we built, enjoy where we are, and go run the race.

The most famous voice in running almost quit before he ever got fast. It took a bad workout (and a girlfriend on the verge of dumping him) to turn Chris Bennett into Coach B.Nike's Global Running Head Coach and the voice in millions of ears on the Nike Run Club app sits down with Dominic for a conversation about what actually builds greatness—and it's not what you think. Coach B traces his path from "incredibly lazy" college runner at UNC to architect of one of the great high school dynasties at Christian Brothers Academy, where his teams chased NXN titles knowing they'd fail more often than they'd win. That, he argues, is exactly the point.Along the way: the college teammate whose blunt ultimatum changed his life (he married her); why it's cool to care in a generation obsessed with being nonchalant; and the legendary Stanford story of Vin Lanana asking his team who would make the Olympic squad—and the three who stayed standing did. Coach B breaks down the difference between confidence and arrogance, why "weird" is a synonym for remarkable, why he measures athletes by their worst performances instead of their best, and why you'll never do the work required to be great unless you're having fun doing it.Recorded weeks before the September 1st release of his first book, This Is About Running. This Is Not About Running., this one delivers exactly what the title promises: an hour about running that's about everything else, too.Press play.

Send us Fan Mail#397 - As we run, we runners learn so much and figure out the right way to do things that help our running. But in the process, sometimes we miss stuff that could work against us. There's a lot to remember and we're not perfect, so this is understandable. I forget many things, either because I'm in too much of a hurry or I get a little lazy. So, this week, I'm going over mistakes that we runners keep making and why we shouldn't! If you like, I can do a part two because I've already thought of a few things I need to switch up on my own running! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Some of New Zealand's most serious runners are in Otago for the race, thought to be the country's longest ultramarathon. Organiser Jill Wolff spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss about the 320 kilometre race.

For decades, women with low bone density were told to take it easy; Professor Belinda Beck's research proved the opposite: high-intensity resistance and impact training safely rebuilds bone, even in women who had been told their bones were too fragile to lift heavy. Belinda covers the full arc of bone health, from how peak bone mass is set in the teenage years, to what actually happens to bone when estrogen declines through perimenopause and menopause, to why so many popular "safe" exercises, including walking, cycling, and Pilates, simply don't provide enough stimulus to protect bone. They dig into the physiology of bone remodelling, the real evidence (and lack of it) behind weighted vests, how to read a DEXA scan, and practical calcium and vitamin D guidance. Belinda also shares the story behind LIFTMOR itself, including how her research team was once considered reckless for asking postmenopausal women to lift heavy, and how those same women ended up stronger, more confident, and more independent than they'd been in decades.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we are recording the final episode from the United States before the podcast heads across the world for Sydney Marathon Week. Before the passport panic takes over, Kyle recaps the Head for the Cure 5K in Overland Park, a massive Kansas City-area event supporting brain cancer awareness, research, and families impacted by the disease. From there, we turn the spotlight to the TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS, breaking down the race, the history, the course, the logistics, and why this new World Marathon Major matters. We talk about Sydney's Olympic roots, its growth into the seventh Abbott World Marathon Major, and how the race has quickly become a major destination for runners chasing stars around the globe. The episode walks listeners through the Harbour Bridge start, the Sydney Opera House finish, the seven-hour cutoff, the time difference for everyone following along back home, and the reality that there are still 26.2 miles of consequences between those postcard moments. Kyle also digs into the race expo at Sydney Olympic Park, race-day transportation, tracking, volunteers, safety, weather concerns, and the now-famous 2026 medal mistake that accidentally gave the finisher medal a quick layover in Munich. Of course, this preview comes with plenty of back-of-the-pack honesty about jet lag, travel stress, extra walking, pacing, hills, rain, and the main goal of simply surviving the race and earning that Sydney star. With Sydney as Kyle's sixth World Marathon Major and London waiting in 2027, this episode is part race preview, part travel sendoff, and part invitation for the whole Back of the Pack community to follow along as the next big adventure begins.

You can have the perfect training plan, running shoes and recovery routine. But if you are consistently under-fueled, eventually your body will collect the debt. Heavy legs.Poor recovery.Declining performance.Disrupted sleep.Persistent fatigue.Loss of motivation.And an increased risk of injury.In Episode 5 of the SLAY Performance Series, Olympian, coach and SLAY founder Louise Hazel explains how to stop treating food as something you must earn and start using it as a tool for performance.Because athletes do not eat as a reward for training. Athletes eat so they can train.In this episode, you'll learn:• What to eat before a run• Whether you should run fasted• When runners need fuel during training• How to use gels, chews and sports drinks• Why carbohydrates are essential for endurance performance• Why protein matters for runners—not only weightlifters• How hydration and electrolytes affect your training• What to eat after a run to support recovery• Whether you should pursue weight loss during half-marathon training• Why female runners may need to pay attention to iron• The warning signs that you may be under-fueling• How Olympic athletes plan nutrition around performanceLouise also introduces the SLAY Fuel Pyramid:1.

Write down:What you will eat before your long runHow long before the run you will eatWhat fuel you will carryWhen you will consume itWhat you will eat afterwardsThen record how your energy, stomach and recovery responded. Race-day nutrition should not be based on theory.

Daniel Berk was 32 years old, about 50 pounds overweight, and hadn't sprinted since college when he posted a tweet saying he was going to become a runner. He didn't know what he was doing. His first 5K took 50 minutes. He described himself as a blubber...

Plus: The Alberta government faces jeers and expletives at town halls over a planned Meta data centre, the Boston Marathon says it will count qualifying times on the Edmonton course which was accidentally made two-thirds of a kilometre longer than normal but won't adjust them to the standard marathon length, a caver is rescued using new radio technology, and the case for more “third spaces”.

With the TCS Sydney Marathon now just nine days away, **The Final Stretch** reaches the point where the heavy training is finished and the challenge becomes learning to **Trust What You Built**. At this stage, there is very little we can do physically to dramatically change race-day fitness, but there is still plenty our brains can do to completely sabotage it. We dig into taper brain, the strange urge to question everything we have done, and why one ugly workout or bad race somehow gets more attention than weeks of solid work. Instead of replaying the blooper reel, we look at the evidence already in the bank, from miles and races completed to heat training, fueling practice, experience, and the ability to keep moving when things get difficult. We also ask the uncomfortable but important question: **what did this training cycle actually build**, whether that is PR fitness, goal-time fitness, survival fitness, or simply enough to fight our way to the finish? From there, we break down A, B, and C race goals and why changing the plan when conditions change does not mean abandoning the mission. Whether this is marathon number one or marathon number seventeen, the goal now is to stop borrowing somebody else's confidence crisis, prepare for the bad miles, and trust that we have enough tools to solve the problems race day throws at us. The work does not have to be perfect to be valuable, and with Sydney almost here, it is time to stop negotiating with the past and give race day the chance to show us what we built.

Are you training for Disney Marathon Weekend like you would for any other marathon?  That could be one of the biggest mistakes you make. Disney Marathon Weekend isn't just about covering 26.2 miles. Between the early wake-ups, standing in corrals, walking through the parks, Florida weather, and for Goofy and Dopey runners… racing on back-to-back days, your body has to handle much more than the mileage on your training plan! In this episode of the Healthy Runner Podcast, I'm joined by Coach Whitney LaCombe from the Spark Healthy Runner team to break down 5 of the biggest Disney Marathon Weekend training mistakes and show you how to prepare for the entire experience, not just the marathon. We cover:

Your body doesn't know the difference between Coca-Cola and watermelon. And according to registered sports dietitian Cortney Berling, that might be the most freeing thing a runner can learn.Back for her third appearance on The Running Effect, Cortney joins Dominic to dismantle the food rules holding runners back, starting with the sport's most controversial question: does weight loss actually make you faster? Her answer is a masterclass in why general nutrition advice fails athletes, especially female ones. The guidelines on your food label were built around a 154-pound reference man from 1941, not a marathoner in a training block, and definitely not a 14-year-old girl navigating puberty.Cortney shares her own story of underfueling, doing everything society called "healthy" until she lost her period and, for a time, her ability to have kids, and explains why the runners plateauing hardest are usually the ones eating the least. Her rule is simple: only run the miles you're willing to fuel for.Along the way, the two get refreshingly practical. Why full-sugar Coke beats Diet Coke after a long run. Race-day fueling blueprints for cross country and multi-race track meets. The hydration equation every runner should know. Why eating before bed isn't the sin you've been told it is, and how liquid calories save high-mileage athletes drowning in grocery bills.But the biggest takeaway might be Cortney's fifth and final point: your relationship with food matters just as much as the food itself. You don't earn your food by running, you earn your run by eating enough.Tap into the Cortney Berling Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Ok, some of you may be thinking, what’s an extra half mile when you already ran 26.2…. we’re here to tell you it’s HUGE. Even a few extra feet can feel soul crushing, but for the 10 thousand runners at the Edmonton marathon, that extra distance could be the difference between qualifying for the next race or not.

We spend hundreds of dollars on carbon-plated racing shoes, track every gram of protein, and hit our weekly mileage without fail. But when it comes to the single most critical factor in physical recovery, most runners leave their performance to chance: sleep.In this episode, we sit down with Laura Brewick, Chief Marketing Officer and General Manager at MOLECULE—a sleep technology company backed by a dedicated team of PhD-level scientists focused entirely on foam formulations and athletic recovery. We dive deep into why simply getting "eight hours" isn't enough for distance runners, how thermal regulation and microclimates impact your deep sleep cycles, and the exact presleep habits you can start tonight to wake up ready to perform.Connect with Us:Our website: https://www.marathonjournal.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@marathonjournalFollow us on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/30798607

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we are recapping a packed mid-August weekend with two charity races, one major run club push, and Sydney now less than two weeks away. We start with a quick heads-up that the 2027 Tokyo Marathon lottery is open, along with a reminder that Tokyo is incredible, but not exactly built for back-of-the-pack comfort. From there, we head to Lawrence, Kansas for the Rexy Run 5K & 10K, where the podcast community showed up strong for Baby Jay's Legacy of Hope and the new 10K course brought hills, wetlands, heat, volunteers, and one very fun spinning dinosaur medal. We also talk about what it means when a charity race grows so much that it may eventually need a bigger home. Then it is back to Parkville for the first-ever Hearts for Ronald McDonald House Charity Half Marathon, where the humidity was rude, the course was familiar, and the final stretch brought just enough confusion to make things spicy. Even on a rough race day, this one marked Kyle's 95th half marathon, which means the countdown to number 100 is officially getting real. We also make one more big push for this Thursday's Chasing Rabbits Run Club, where the KC Sports Commission will be filming, Garmin Kansas City Marathon will be there, and we need the whole running family to bring the energy. It is a race-review episode full of big causes, hot miles, community pride, course chaos, and that very familiar feeling that the next adventure is already breathing down our necks.

Most young runners are either overworked or underprepared and their bodies pay the price. Behind the PRs and highlight times is a quieter game of mechanics, strength, and mileage that almost nobody is coaching well.Episode SummaryOn this Oak Performance Radio episode, host Adam Lane sits down with Coach Caleb Gatchell to get real about what actually develops successful youth distance runners. Instead of defaulting to “just run more,” Caleb walks through how he blends mileage, mechanics, and strength work so middle and high school kids can handle the training they need to get faster.You'll hear how he uses dynamic warm-ups, simple drill progressions, strides, and foundational strength to turn young runners into resilient athletes, not just mileage counters. Key Takeaways Why “do more miles” is the easy button most distance coaches hit—and how it backfires.How Caleb balances volume and intensity so youth runners improve without constant nagging injuries.The way he uses middle school years to build movement quality, not high mileage.How daily warm-ups and A-walk/A-skip progressions quietly clean up running mechanics.Why he spends more time building core, hip, and glute strength than micromanaging every stride.A simple cue that fixes a lot of overstriding and hard heel striking: run quietly.How strides give you the best window to coach form without overloading athletes' brains.The role of foot and ankle strength, plyos, and basic strength training in expanding an athlete's capacity.How to tell the difference between normal training fatigue and pain that needs to be addressed.Why steady, unflashy training weeks beat any “3 magic drills” trend in the long run.Episode Chapters00:30 Caleb's background, Hillsdale, 4:06 mile and coaching02:40 “How to Run Your Fastest Mile” video and YouTube reach04:50 What coaches get wrong about speed and youth distance training09:50 Middle school vs. high school training, volume vs. intensity11:20 Mechanics, cues, and building strength before over-coaching form16:20 “Run quietly,” center of mass, and barefoot/minimal concepts20:20 Using strides and short efforts to coach posture and footstrike26:45 Warm-ups as athletic development, not just checking boxes31:30 Managing fatigue, good sore vs. bad pain, racing while tired38:00 Summer mileage, overuse injuries, and smart progression43:30 Feet, ankles, glutes, and making runners more resilient51:00 Consistency, capacity, and building a real program over yearsResources MentionedThe Run Experience – YouTube channel, video: How to Run Your Fastest MilePose Method / Dr. Nicholas Romanov – center-of-mass running conceptsCal Dietz – University of Minnesota strength coach, feet and glutes focusRPR (Reflexive Performance Reset) – mentioned as a tool some coaches useThe Foot Collective – foot strength and stability ideasEd Eyestone (BYU) – quote: C² = E² (consistent competence = eventual excellence)Connect with the GuestCoach Caleb GatchellInstagram: @cbgatchell95Teams: @anchor_christian_academy, @lccslionsthleticspaAbout the PodcastOak Performance Radio, hosted by Adam Lane, digs into what it actually takes to perform at a high level.

Tune-up races are a common piece of many training plans. Are they necessary? Why should you bother racing in the middle of training?In this episode, we discuss all you need to know about how to run an effective tune-up race (and whether to run one at all). We draw from years of coaching experience and an understanding of various training theories to guide you through how to incorporate non-goal races into your training, in a way that does not detract from your goal race. You will learn how to schedule them, whether you need to taper, and how to recover. Plus, we will provide guidance for what to do if doing tune-up races just is not for you.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ The psychological and physiological benefits of a tune-up race✅ How to schedule tune-up races in your training✅ Which distance tune-up race should you choose?✅ Different pacing approaches for tune-up races✅ If you should taper for a tune-up race✅ How to recover after a goal race✅ Benchmark workouts as substitutes for a tune-up raceTread Lightly Running is hosted and researched by Amanda Brooks and Laura Norris, MSc.

With the TCS Sydney Marathon now just two weeks away, The Final Stretch continues with a question every nervous marathoner eventually asks: can we make up for lost training at the last minute? This week, we tackle the urge to cram for a marathon, from missed long runs and shortened workouts to those summer races that suddenly start looking like evidence that everything has gone wrong. We dig into why panic training can create more problems than it solves, especially when the body should be shifting toward recovery instead of punishment. But this is not quite a black-and-white conversation, because sometimes there may be a difference between cramming for a PR and doing just enough to prepare ourselves to survive the distance. We look at what can still be sharpened this close to race day, what simply cannot be rebuilt anymore, and why protecting confidence may be just as important as protecting our legs. Heat, social-media comparison, training guilt, and the temptation to chase numbers on the watch all make appearances as we try to keep perspective heading into the taper. We also talk about why one bad summer race does not get to predict what happens when race day arrives in cooler conditions. At this stage, the goal is no longer to become a completely different runner in fourteen days, but to arrive at the starting line healthy enough, rested enough, and mentally ready to use what we already have. The time for proving fitness is almost over, and the time for preserving it has arrived.

In this week's episode of the Push Pull Legs Podcast, hosts Dan and Tom return to break down the absurdities of the fitness industry. We expose the controversial overbooking policies at high-end gyms like Third Space and run through the viral list of things that irrationally annoy personal trainers, from lifting belts on lat pulldowns to atrocious gym-floor etiquette and lazy client excuses. Plus, we dive into athletic performance, reviewing the camera-based jump-testing tech (Metric Jump) for runners. Finally, we rank the top five ice cream flavours (defending salted caramel vs. chocolate brownie) and share stories from our latest UK links golf trip! 0:00 Welcome Back & Golf Banter 12:46 Third Space Gym Overbooking Controversy 21:35 What Irrationally Annoy's Personal Trainers 45:02 Top Five Ice Cream Flavours 52:09 Metric Jump Beta Testing & Outro 2 FREE Running Webinars - Strength & Plyometrics - https://the-combine-coaching-community.circle.so/training-to-run-in-the-gym 6 Week Strength & Plyo Plan for Runners! - https://market.teambuildr.com/programs/combine-coaching/6-weeks-gym-plyo-for-running-starter-pack Work with me 121 Online - Submit this form and we can chat! https://d3rcg1r4wve.typeform.com/to/wUbqRewu  

This week, Brett, Austin, and Jason cover four very different corners of gaming — starting with Halo: Campaign Evolved. Brett played the entire thing with zero nostalgia, and the remake genuinely won him over. But the three new prequel missions, the only original content in the release, tell a different story: reused assets, thin characters, and a baffling choice to have a new character openly dismiss Master Chief. That firsthand breakdown gets weighed against the discourse, the layoffs that hit the studio a week after launch, and what it all means for a $50 price tag. From there, the crew takes a first look at Funnel Runners, an early access co-op survival game where the real threat is a terrifyingly realistic tornado — thin on content right now, but building real community buzz. Then it's a generational showdown on Ghost Recon Wildlands' 25th anniversary update: Jason's 195 hours deep, Brett's walking in cold, and the two compare notes on the new 4K/60fps upgrade, the Last Rites mission, and what Ubisoft's silence on Breakpoint says about where the franchise is really headed. Closing things out, Austin replays Spider-Man 2018 in the wake of Brand New Day's record-breaking box office run, using it as a lens for what Marvel's Wolverine — Insomniac's next big swing — might look like when it lands in September. Time-value takes, honest tradeoffs, and opinions throughout — no hype, just the real talk busy gamers actually need.

Do you wave at other runners when you're out on a run—and what happens when they don't wave back? In this episode, we tackle the biggest unwritten rules of running etiquette, discuss the brand new Gordie Howe Bridge, and review the Mizuno Neo Vista 3! SUPPORT THE SHOWApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pr-project-podcast/id1744936895Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2rNI60zlORbkS9ghe5uw1n?si=f03845f1466b48f2 ABOUT THIS EPISODEThe PR Project crew is back on the mic to debate some of the most hilariously polarizing topics in the running community! We kick things off with some lifestyle talk (are you a "shoes off" in the house person?) before getting into the excitement of running the brand new Gordie Howe Bridge and shouting out Mama Runz' Hope Beyond Borders 5k. Then, we hold a massive session of Run Culture Court! We dive into the ultimate running faux pas: runners who don't wave back, serial charity bib runners, the ethics of wearing a race shirt for a race you didn't actually run, and the absolute chaos of people sneaking into the wrong race corrals. We also debate the age-old athletic question: would you rather win the slow heat or finish last in the fast heat?

If you're running 30, 40, even 60 miles a week, do you really need to squat? Running definitely builds your legs - but not in the way many people think. Today we'll answer - Is running enough? - What muscles does it actually train? - And if you're short on time, what's the minimum effective dose of strength training?   EDGE Coach Quip Podcast: Ep 251: Do Runners Really Need Leg Day

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we are celebrating a major milestone: 300 episodes of race reviews, community stories, road trips, charity conversations, bad decisions, emotional moments, and back-of-the-pack chaos. Technically, this is Episode 299, but with Episode 300 dropping Friday, we are taking this Monday episode to pause, look around, and talk about what this podcast has become since it started as a simple “I make the mistakes so you don't have to” running show. We look back at the race reviews that became the bread and butter of the show, the community organizations and race directors who gave us a chance, and the local running family that turned this podcast into something much bigger than one guy talking into an old microphone. From Rexy Run and Fighting Fentanyl to Run Liberty, Garmin Kansas City Marathon, Chasing Rabbits Run Club, Second Wind, and the growing cast of podcast mascots, this episode is a reminder that the stories around the miles often matter just as much as the miles themselves. We also dig into the numbers, including 201 race entries, more than 1,500 race miles, nearly 319 hours on course, 87 5Ks, 38 10Ks, 54 half marathons, 8 full marathons, and one wonderfully ridiculous Death by 5K. Along the way, we talk about the World Marathon Majors completed during the life of the podcast, the repeat races that have become recurring characters, the fastest times on the spreadsheet, the longest gaps between races, and why consistency matters in both podcasting and running. More than anything, this episode is a thank-you to the listeners, Patreon supporters, race directors, guests, volunteers, running friends, run club members, and everyone who has shared, watched, downloaded, commented, or told someone else about the show. Episode 300 is not the finish line, it is an aid station, and after we take inventory, refill the bottle, and eat something questionable, we are getting right back on the road toward Sydney, Rexy Run, race number 400, fall marathon season, and whatever comes next.

This week, I'm back in my own space after a whirlwind of travel, and I'm reflecting on what it means to find stability when everything seems to change at lightning speed. From airport delays to marathon mountain climbs, this episode dives deep into the unexpected twists that life throws our way, and how a steady, guiding presence can make all the difference.At the center of our conversation is Elder Holmes' talk, “Jesus Christ Is the Way.” I share a personal story about my friend CJ, who is blind, and the remarkable systems and support (including a sighted guide) that allow him to navigate life's challenges. But what if Christ isn't just the guide—what if He's actually the path itself? This idea has me asking how we lean into His support and access the comfort and assurance only He can offer, especially when plans fall apart. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences—how do you hold onto your Guide when life takes an unexpected turn?Join me as we unpack these questions, and let's keep moving forward, holding on to the Savior who's more than a guide—He's the very way through every mountain and marathon we face.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

With the TCS Sydney Marathon just three weeks away, we are officially entering The Final Stretch and asking one deceptively simple question: what does being “ready” actually mean? Most runners expect readiness to feel like confidence, control, and unstoppable momentum, but marathon preparation usually arrives wearing fatigue, uncertainty, random aches, and a suspiciously bad attitude. In this episode, we look beyond one missed workout, one rough long run, or one ugly summer pace to examine the full body of work behind race-day preparation. We discuss why nervousness is not proof that we are unprepared and why experience often makes us more aware of everything that can go sideways. We also explore the difference between an imperfect training cycle and a truly incomplete one, especially for runners balancing heat, recovery, injuries, responsibilities, and real life. Destination races add another layer, because being ready involves far more than running fitness, from travel logistics and medications to gear, fueling, and conserving energy before race morning. As Sydney approaches, we take an honest look at the evidence, the warning signs, and the adjustments that may need to happen before stepping onto the starting line. Being prepared to finish and being prepared to chase a specific time are not always the same thing, and recognizing that difference may be one of the smartest race decisions we make. We may never feel fearless, but we can still be ready enough to take the next step.

Keira D'Amato is, quite plainly, one of the best long distance runners in the world today. With PRs of 15:04 for 5k all the way up to 2:19:12 for the marathon and a 10-mile American record of 51:23 in between there, she's got some of the best range of any runner on the road. She is also a 4-time national champion. However, her path to these fast times and great success has not been what you might think. A multiple time NCAA All-American coming out of college, she found only limited success in round 1 of post collegiate running between being on and off of the track due to injury. In the ensuing 8 years or so, she experienced a winding career path from being a developer at Freddie Mac and working part time in IT to running her own DJing business and becoming a realtor. It wasn't until after giving birth to her second child that she returned to running just for fun and to get in shape not knowing the journey that would be ahead. One that is outlined in her memoir: Don't Call It a Comeback: What Happened When I Stopped Chasing PRs, and Started Chasing Happiness which we discuss in this podcast. Plus, find out what Keira's favorite joke is, how she bounces back from failure, and how she's unlocked a "boss level" mental approach to racing that we can all learn from.   Follow Keira: Instagram - @keiradamato X - @KeiraDAmato Website - https://keiradamato.com/   Follow Olivia: Instagram - @obaker64 X - @obaker64   Runners Who Read - https://bookclubs.com/runners-who-read-2/join/

Is getting lighter always the answer for runners chasing faster race times? Matt Fox is joined by Dr David Lipman for a short, sharp discussion about weight loss, performance, RED-S and the risks of taking leanness too far.

Although reducing excess body fat may improve running economy and performance, there is a lower limit where continued weight loss can begin to compromise health, recovery and long-term performance. Matt shares his own experience of becoming faster after losing weight, while David explains why the human body cannot be treated like a simple machine. Some body fat may provide an important energy buffer because the absorption and use of fuel can vary between athletes and from day to day. They examine Ryan Hall's experience as a cautionary example. Hall initially improved while becoming extremely lean, but his performance and health eventually declined after taking the process too far. This temporary improvement can create a dangerous "more is better" mindset, where athletes continue restricting food because the early results appear positive. The conversation also breaks down Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, commonly known as RED-S. Rather than viewing RED-S as the result of one isolated mistake, David describes it using a stress bucket model. Training load, inadequate fueling, poor sleep, work pressure and other life stressors can accumulate until the athlete's ability to recover is overwhelmed. Matt and David discuss carbohydrate periodization and carb cycling, including when lower-carbohydrate training may have a place within an endurance program. However, they stress that these strategies do not eliminate the risks of chronic under-fueling. Athletes still require adequate carbohydrates, protein and dietary fat to support performance, recovery and overall health. They also cover behaviours associated with disordered eating, the spectrum between structured nutrition and unhealthy restriction, whether runners should deliberately lose muscle mass, and the difficult tradeoffs that can exist between short-term performance and long-term health.

In this episode, we bring a nuanced, science-based approach to many hot topics in running right now. What causes muscle cramps? Does Pilates count as strength training? Should slower runners wear carbon plated shoes? Is it possible to overfuel on long runs? Our goal is to provide individualized guidance, rather than click-baity universalized proclamations. In this episode, we provide our informed takes on:✅ What actually causes muscle cramps (according to science)✅ If taking walk breaks discounts a marathon effort✅ If back of pack and midpack runners benefit from carbon plated shoes✅ Why Pilates does not replace resistance training✅ Is there such a thing as overfueling on long runs?Tread Lightly Running is hosted and researched by Amanda Brooks and Laura Norris, MSc.

When most runners think about strength training, they immediately picture squats, lunges, and deadlifts. After all, running is a leg sport... right?Not exactly.In this episode, Kevin and I are breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions in running: that your upper body doesn't matter. I'm sharing why building strength in your shoulders, back, chest, and core can actually help you run more efficiently, maintain better posture, breathe easier, and reduce unnecessary stress on your lower back. If you've skipped upper body training because you thought it wasn't important or worried it would make you bulky, I think this conversation might change your mind.We also talk about how often runners should train their upper body, how much weight you actually need to use, and why chasing endless high-rep workouts isn't the answer. I'll finish by walking you through my favorite upper body exercises for runners and explain exactly why each one deserves a place in your training. My goal isn't to help you become a bodybuilder. It's to help you become a stronger, healthier, more resilient runner.00:48 Pushup Myth Busted02:10 Strength vs Mass Debate04:57 Running Economy Basics07:17 Arm Swing Mechanics13:02 Posture and Breathing18:06 Spine Rotation Stress24:11 Breathing Mobility Fixes28:11 How Often to Lift29:47 Sets Reps and Load36:20 Bone Density Benefits39:47 Push Pull Framework40:59 Exercise 1 Dumbbell Row42:38 Row Form Cues43:27 Pushup Alternatives47:01 Face Pull Posture Fix49:34 Pulldown vs Pullup52:14 Overhead Press Setup56:18 Triceps Work Options01:00:32 Pallof Press Anti Twist01:03:16 Band Pull Aparts01:04:39 Dead Bug Coordination01:07:20 Farmers Carry Posture01:09:17 Build Your Routine01:11:16 Rotator Cuff BonusGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.
