Podcasts about runners

In the late 2000s, two French mountain athletes set out to build a running shoe that captured the feeling of flying. Jean-Luc Diard and Nicolas “Nico” Mermoud had spent decades inside the innovation engine at Salomon—where product was obsession. In 2007, as Nico recovered from a brutal ultramarathon around Mont Blanc, the founders fixed on a problem that Big Footwear didn't care about: downhill running was destroying bodies. Their solution: make the shoe bigger, softer, and shaped like a rocker.At first, their prototypes looked like clown shoes. Runners who preferred minimalist footwear laughed at them. Retailers said no. But the founders kept doing the one thing that they knew could reverse things: they made people try them.HOKA went from under $3M in sales in 2012 to more than $2B a year—and in this episode, you'll hear how it happened: the risky design, the early cash crunch, and the strategic partnership that helped them win the U.S. market.What you'll learn:How to think of a shoe as a machine, not just a piece of apparelThe go-to-market weapon that worked: relentless demo-ing Why outside money can't always solve a cash flow bottleneck (and what does)How HOKA used performance proof to avoid being dismissed as a gimmickWhy HOKA partnered with Deckers—and why it wasn't just about capitalHow to keep a “rebel” mindset as competitors start copying youTimestamps:(Timecodes are approximate and may shift depending on platform.)[07:12] George Salomon's leadership lesson: the CEO who sought advice from an intern[11:11] Nico's first day at Salomon: testing ski prototypes on a glacier[18:42] The ultramarathon race where Nico's legs crumbled (and why)[21:29] A breakthrough insight: performance changes with surface (leaves, lava, snow)[31:25] Designing a sneaker as if it were a car: engine, tires, seat[40:00] The “clown shoe” prototype—and the first successful run [47:22] Elite runners kickstart the brand [49:02] The hard part nobody glamorizes: factory minimums, bank demands, anemic cash flow[53:31] Deckers enters: the minority investment that unlocks the U.S. (without killing the brand)Hey—want to be a guest on HIBT?If you're building a business, why not get advice from some of the greatest entrepreneurs on Earth?Every Thursday on the HIBT Advice Line, a previous HIBT guest helps new entrepreneurs work through the challenges they're facing right now.

Angela takes a look at the essentials of daily detoxification with executive wellness coach and Ideal Day podcast host, Adam Parker.  Moving beyond the hype of fad cleanses, Adam and Angela explore how our bodies naturally process modern environmental toxins, from heavy metals to microplastics, and why proactive support is vital in 2026.  From the controversial benefits of coffee enemas to the science-backed power of sauna protocols, mineral replenishment, and binders, this conversation provides a roadmap for boosting metabolic flexibility, clearing brain fog, and reclaiming your cellular energy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Detox is a Continuous Process: The body is always detoxing through breath, sweat, and elimination; however, the modern toxic load often exceeds our natural capacity The Bottom-Up Protocol: Effective detoxification should follow a specific sequence starting at the colon (the bottom of the drainage funnel) and moving up to the liver, gallbladder, lymph, and finally the cells The Role of Lipophilic Toxins: Many modern man-made chemicals are fat-soluble (lipophilic) and store themselves in fat tissue Minerals as the "Spark Plugs": Heavy metals often compete with essential minerals for cell receptors. Replenishing with fulvic and humic minerals or unrefined sea salt is a foundational daily habit to push out heavy metals and fuel metabolic pathways. TIMESTAMPS [01:41] — Defining Detox: Adam explains why the body needs extra support in today's environment compared to a decade ago. [05:25] — Fat Tissue & Toxin Storage: A discussion on why toxins hide in body fat and the symptoms that occur when they are mobilised. [08:52] — The Supplement Strategy: Deep dive into magnesium for the colon and milk thistle/dandelion for stagnant bile flow in the liver. [11:51] — The Coffee Enema Debate: Adam breaks down the 100-year history and the hepatic portal vein mechanism behind this controversial practice. [17:09] — Maximum Sauna Benefits: How to use binders, hydration, and "sweat-wiping" techniques to optimise heat-based detoxification.

This episode explores the scientific nuances of workout timing, specifically tailored to women's health and physiology. The conversation delves into how circadian rhythms, cortisol levels, and appetite hormones like ghrelin influence the body's response to exercise at different times of the day.  We discuss findings from various training studies, highlighting that while morning workouts are particularly effective for reducing abdominal fat and visceral adiposity in women, afternoon sessions may offer superior strength and powergains due to enhanced neuromuscular recruitment WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Training in the morning, regardless of the exercise type (high-intensity or resistance), is notably effective for reducing abdominal fat Women tend to see greater strength gains and improved neuromuscular fibre recruitment when training in the afternoon or evening. The body's response to morning exercise is partly driven by a higher baseline of activated ghrelin While biology suggests optimal times for specific goals, consistency and sticking to a routine that fits one's lifestyle are ultimately the most important factors for long-term success. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Discussion on how morning workouts specifically target abdominal fat reduction in women. 0:25 – Explanation of why women generally experience greater strength and power in the afternoon. 0:44 – Overview of studies showing morning exercise reduces visceral fat in women, but not in men. 1:18 – Analysis of how the hunger hormone ghrelin triggers fat burning during early morning sessions. 1:43 – Insight into how resistance training signals the liver to use fatty acids for metabolism rather than storage. 2:38 – A concluding look at why personal consistency often outweighs biological "perfection" in a routine.

We sit down with Randy Taylor—runner, coach, and creator of Team 816 Run Club—for our ten-question Runner Stories spotlight. Randy traces his pivot from the wrestling mat to the roads and trails, and how that competitive grit shaped a coaching style built on consistency, community, and smart stress. He opens up about chasing speed later in life, including a 4:57 mile at age 39 and a 2:40 marathon at Chicago, and how those lessons translate for everyday runners. We dig into the ultra toolbox too: fueling, pacing, and mental resets from a 14:29 hundred at Tunnel Hill and a scorching 3:35 50K on gravel. Randy shares what he looks for when writing plans, the red flags he shuts down early, and the simple cues he gives athletes on workout days vs. easy days. We talk Team 816's origin story, why group culture beats lone-wolf heroics, and how to welcome first-timers without scaring them off. Most of all, this is a conversation about building durable joy in the sport, whether you're gunning for a PR or finishing with friends.

[Download] The Ultimate Recovery Guide for Runners Does your hip pain disappear with rest… only to return a few miles into your next run? You are not alone. In this episode, Dr. Duane Scotti sits down with physical therapist, run coach, and hip specialist Dr. Sarah from Legacy Rehab and Performance to break down why hip pain is so common in women runners and why traditional advice like rest and stretching often fails.   You will learn: - The top reasons hip pain keeps coming back in women runners - Why stretching alone does not fix the real problem - How hip, core, and glute strength influence running mechanics - The key strength categories women runners need (heavy compound, unilateral, and stability work) - Simple tests to know if you are truly ready to return to running - Red flags that mean you are progressing too fast   If you are stuck in the cycle of resting, returning, and re-injuring your hip, this episode will give you a clearer, smarter path forward so you can rebuild strength, run with confidence, and stay healthy for the long run.

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Kara Radzak speaks with Dr. Dana Golden about her recent publication, "Gait Biomechanics Among Female Endurance Runners: Comparing Days With and Without Menstrual Cycle–Related Symptoms".  The study used RunScribe wearables and daily symptom surveys and found no significant differences in gait mechanics between symptomatic and asymptomatic days, though runners logged fewer runs on symptomatic days. Dr. Golden explains practical implications for athletic trainers—normalizing symptoms, offering reassurance, and using accessible wearable tech to monitor athletes in real-world settings.   Article: https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-0634.24  

Plant-based diets are experiencing a surge in popularity, particularly among runners and other athletes. But is your plant-based diet lacking in any nutrients, and do you need supplements to fill the gaps? In this episode, Registered Dietitian Natalie Rizzo breaks down what nutrients plant-based runners might miss, which supplements are actually worth your money, and which ones are marketing fluff. Take the quiz --> Are You Underfueling Your Runs?Leave your questions for next mailbag episode here! Have questions or want to request a show topic?

Inflammation gets a bad rap in the running world—but here's the truth: some inflammation is necessary for adaptation, while too much can slow recovery, increase injury risk, and leave you feeling chronically beat up. In this episode, I break down evidence-based anti-inflammatory foods runners should actually prioritize—including beets, turmeric, omega-3s, berries, and olive oil—and explain the science behind how they influence oxidative stress, cytokines, and muscle repair. We'll talk about: Why inflammation isn't something runners should try to “eliminate” The difference between food-based anti-inflammatory support vs. NSAIDs Which foods help recovery without blunting training adaptations How to practically include these foods in a real runner's diet No detoxes. No food fear. Just smart fueling that helps your body do what it's designed to do—recover, adapt, and perform.   Want to try Go Guarded? Use my code serena10 at checkout!

Today I'm joined by neuroscientist and mitochondrial health expert Siobhan Mitchell to cut through the noise around mitochondria, inflammation, NAD, and what actually matters for energy, recovery, and brain health in midlife We unpack why mitochondria are not just “battery packs”, they are a master regulator of oxidative stress, immune signalling, and cellular aging. Siobhan explains the difference between hormetic stress that upgrades your system (like training) versus chronic stress that drains it WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: • What mitochondria actually do, beyond “energy production”  • Mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis, and why both decline with age  • The difference between hormetic stress (exercise) and chronic stress (modern life)  • Why mitochondrial dysfunction can drive inflammation and immune overactivation  • How brain energy demand and oestrogen loss intersect in menopause symptoms  • CD38, inflammation, and why staying lean matters for NAD preservation  • Why NAD precursors can be wasted, and what supports conversion inside the cell  • The practical take on timing, training, and recovery support TIMESTAMPS 00:01 Mitochondria, ATP, and the oxidative stress trade-off  04:14 Mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and aging  16:13 Mitochondria as immune regulators, inflammation and cytokines  23:09 Brain energy, menopause, oestrogen, and cognitive decline mechanisms  29:33 NAD explained, CD38, and why NAD drops with age  48:56 NAD, GLUT4, insulin sensitivity, and perimenopause metabolism  53:19 Where to learn more, discount code, and closing VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get 10% off MitoQ NAD+ - www.mitoq.com with code ANGELA Get 35% off Timeline Mitopure by visiting this link while the offer lasts - https://www.timeline.com/promotions/angela35 Upgrade your cellular health - get 20% off Beam Minerals at http://beamminerals.com/ANGELA & use code ANGELA at checkout ABOUT THE GUEST Dr Siobhan Mitchell - Chief Scientific Officer - MitoQ Siobhan is the Chief Scientific Officer at MitoQ.

We're heading to Jackson, Mississippi for a deep dive on Run the Rainbow, the growing 50K/Marathon/Half/10K/5K set for Saturday, March 21, 2026. Joining us are the race director, the assistant race director, and the CEO of the state's only children's hospital, which this event proudly supports. They walk us through a course that mixes historic neighborhoods, a scenic museum trail, and plenty of honest hills, complete with live bands, themed aid stations about every two miles, and cheers as you pass the hospital itself. You'll hear how the “Memory Mile” near the finish turns grit into goosebumps, why generous cutoffs and an early start make this event back-of-the-pack friendly, and how no finisher is ever short-changed at the line. We talk post-race fun too: a true Southern spread, coffee, and cookies shaped like Mississippi, with a finish-line party that lasts until the last runner celebrates. The expo brings local shops, other races, and an expert panel on training and fueling. Swag hounds, rejoice: big kid-designed medals, quarter-zips for longer distances, and finisher towels are on deck. From community volunteers to unique prizes (yes, even tires for the champs), it's an event built by runners who care about runners. If you're looking for a spring race with heart, hills, and hospitality, this episode is your invitation to Run the Rainbow.

Running for Time: Chad Eddy's Mission Against Cystic FibrosisFor Chad Eddy, the fight against cystic fibrosis isn't abstract, it's personal. He's the proud uncle of two nieces born with CF. One is still living.When his goddaughter was born in 1998, (he asked their names not be used) the second of his nieces diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Chad's world changed. He quickly realized that simply walking in charity events or asking friends and family to donate wasn't enough. Love demanded action. Hope demanded movement.He wanted to do more. He wanted to be part of the generation that finds the cure. It's his motto.In 2017, Chad's heart broke when one of his nieces lost her courageous fight with CF. But even in grief, he found his purpose. He made a promise to her, and to his living niece, and to every person living with CF, that he would keep running toward a cure.Now, Chad isn't running for a medal. He's running for time. Time for those who can't breathe freely. Time for families waiting on a cure. Time for the breakthroughs that can change everything.His mission has taken shape in an extraordinary endurance challenge: running 6.5 miles every 6.5 hours for 65 straight hours , all to raise $65,000 for cystic fibrosis research.This is not a race. It's a test of heart, exhaustion, and purpose, run one step, one story, one promise at a time.Already, more than 80 donors have stepped forward, contributing over $11,000 to support Chad's mission. But this is no longer just a personal challenge, t's a movement.Through a short documentary film, that movement, and its heartbeat, will be captured forever.For everyone still fighting for breath, Chad runs because every moment counts. And he won't stop until cystic fibrosis is a disease of the past.For more information and to donate:: https://fundraise.cff.org/roseup2025/65milesin65hoursforCF To see the trailer for Generation: Cure: https://youtu.be/YyI_rNXuNAI?si=pk_tBY3NZkdtdfTn Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Most women think brain fog in perimenopause is inevitable. It isn't. In this episode, I explain what's really going on: your brain isn't broken, it's running on empty; and that's a solvable biology problem, not a willpower problem. I break down what happens as estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, how that impacts brain energy, and why symptoms like forgetfulness, poor focus, and “slow-motion thinking” can show up even when you're doing everything right. Then I share four science-backed strategies to rebuild a sharper, more resilient brain—covering nutrition, training for cognitive performance, regulating your mental “gears,” and a practical supplement toolkit to amplify the foundations WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How blood sugar crashes sabotage cognition (and the breakfast fix) Why protein & healthy fats matter for focus in perimenopause The role of omega-3s (EPA/DHA) in neuroinflammation and clarity Why higher-intensity exercise can improve focus via lactate → BDNF How to use training strategically before deep work or high-stakes meetings The 3 Gears framework for focus, creativity, and stress regulation Why micro-breaks between meetings improve engagement and reduce stress buildup The supplement stack discussed (omega-3s, magnesium forms, ubiquinol/CoQ10, B vitamins) How to start with one change and build momentum without overwhelm TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Brain Fog in Perimenopause: What's Really Going On 02:37 Strategy 1: High-Quality Nutrition 05:25 Strategy 2: Exercise for Focus (Lactate, BDNF & Brain Energy) 08:59 Strategy 3: 3 Gears Framework for Focus & Stress 13:05 Strategy 4: The Supplement Toolkit (What Actually Helps) 17:28 How to Reclaim Your Focus & Energy VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend • Longevity Supplement Masterclass – https://academy.angelafosterperformance.com/longevity-masterclass-27 • Omega-3 Episode featuring Dr. Bill Harris – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J42kJPyHPoA A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get 10% off MitoQ NAD+ - www.mitoq.com with code ANGELA Get 35% off Timeline Mitopure by visiting this link while the offer lasts - https://www.timeline.com/promotions/angela35 ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

On this week's episode of the Beyond Kicks Podcast, Charley & Seth take a look at the new Stranger Things X Nike Air Foamposite, Pharrell's $1,000 running shoe with adidas, and a few exclusive sneakers dropping durring All Star Weekend._________________________

We flipped the script this week on Second Wind: with our guest delayed, Kyle sat in the hot seat and answered our ten signature questions himself. From a decade-plus of start lines and almost 370 finish-line stories, he digs into the run that changed him, the day that nearly broke him, and why he still laces up when motivation goes missing. You'll hear about the people who shaped his journey, the weird and wonderful moments only runners collect, and what “setback and comeback” looks like from the back of the pack. Kyle talks community, identity, and the quiet wins that matter more than PRs. There's practical advice for newer runners and a candid look at how the sport evolves alongside life. Think of it as a fireside chat with your favorite race buddy—equal parts honesty, humor, and heart. After you listen, hit us with your own answers to the Big Ten and we'll share a few on next week's show!

Dr. Andrew Best is a professor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts where he focuses on evolutionary questions about human physiology. You can email him at andrew.best@mcla.edu.  His latest study was titled "Ultra Endurance Athletes and the Metabolic Ceiling." They looked at the maximum, sustainable amount of energy expenditure that can be done over a long time period. It answers the question, "what is the limit of human energy expenditure?" It's a metric that literally dictates how hard you can train. If you want sustainable performance, you'll love this episode.  Fan of the podcast? Support our partners! Thank you MOBO Board! Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. 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.

Join Angela and Simon Alexander Ong, a life and business coach and author of the book Energize, for a discussion on how to transform your life by managing your energy rather than your time, focussing on the power of perception and mindset in achieving an "extraordinary life".  Simon shares his personal journey from the financial sector during the 2008 crisis to becoming a coach, illustrating how obstacles can be reframed as opportunities. They also look at practical strategies for goal setting, maintaining consistency over intensity, and building sustainable systems for long-term success in both personal and professional spheres. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Energy Management Over Time Management: True productivity and the ability to "bend reality" come from managing your energetic state and perception rather than just managing your calendar. Consistency Trumps Intensity: Success is rarely a straight line; it is more like a maze where long-term consistency in habits and systems is more effective than short-term bursts of intense effort. The Power of Pronoia: Reframing your perspective from paranoia (the world is out to get you) to "pronoia" (the universe is conspiring in your favour) significantly changes how you respond to challenges and opportunities. Value and Service as Business Foundations: In business, shift the focus from selling to providing value and service; Simon suggests that money is simply an "echo of value".

We're back this week with a full breakdown of the Battle of the Bean 5K in Kansas City, Missouri, a race that reminded us winter running doesn't mess around. From the pre-race jitters to frozen fingers at the start line, we recap what it was like to toe the line with a real feel of –1°F. But the race itself is only part of the story. The rest of the episode dives deep into what running in extreme cold actually does to the body. We talk about how sub-zero temperatures affect muscles, joints, breathing, circulation, and overall performance. We explore why pace feels harder than effort suggests, why warming up is such a challenge, and why post-race recovery can be just as tricky as the run itself. We also touch on the mental side of running in brutal conditions and how cold weather forces runners to adjust expectations. This episode isn't about chasing PRs. It's about resilience, preparation, and knowing when showing up is the victory. If you've ever questioned whether a run was worth it once you stepped outside, this one's for you.

Runners in a baton race must run together until the baton is successfully passed to the next runner. Many Eastern Catholic Churches at this time are in a, Liturgical baton race.

Join Angela and Dr William Li for a look at the complex world of heart health and hormonal shifts, in which they tackle the often-confusing link between menopause and rising cholesterol levels, debunking common myths and providing clarity on the real risks of high LDL.  Dr. Li shares his expert insights on the nuances of heart disease prevention, the importance of blood sugar balance, and how a holistic, evidence-based approach can help you navigate these sudden health changes with confidence and balance. KEY TAKEAWAYS: High LDL cholesterol is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease because it can build up as plaque in the arteries and impede blood flow. Total cholesterol levels are no longer the primary indicator of heart disease risk; instead, doctors focus on the ratio of "good" HDL to "bad" LDL cholesterol. While some people have genetic predispositions to extremely high cholesterol, modern medicine emphasises a more nuanced understanding of different cholesterol components. Maintaining blood sugar balance is crucial, but health influencers often exaggerate the dangers of minor "spikes" and "crashes" that are actually normal bodily functions. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:45 How LDL cholesterol sticks to artery walls like "Velcro," 1:42 How medical understanding has evolved from tracking total cholesterol to focusing on HDL/LDL ratios. 3:07 The influence of health influencers on public anxiety regarding blood sugar and cholesterol levels. 4:03 Importance of "homeostasis" and how the body naturally strives for balance in its systems.

This week on Second Wind, we're bringing in Kyle's buddy Joe Klassen, a pastor with a microphone history and a “let's do the hard thing” streak that somehow led him straight into CrossFit. Joe shares the moment that sparked his whole transformation, and it's the kind of story that hits like a kettlebell to the feelings. From there, we get into what it actually looks like to start from zero, rebuild after setbacks, and learn to check your ego at the door when your body isn't doing what your pride thinks it should. Joe talks about dropping 147 pounds, finding purpose beyond the scale, and why community inside a CrossFit box can feel a lot like the best version of a church. We also get a peek into the weird, wild, and sometimes horrifying side of gym life (yes, there are “earmuffs, kids” moments). But the heart of this episode is simple: becoming the kind of person who can keep showing up, keep moving, and keep being there for the people you love, for decades to come. And because it's Second Wind, we've got plenty of laughs too including “Bless Your Heart” awards, old-man divisions, and a legendary hospital BBQ decision that probably shouldn't have happened. If you've ever wondered whether CrossFit is for “people like us,” this conversation might surprise you. Hit play and come hang with us.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.com When I first heard a radio piece about Mt. Tabor Park being awarded America's first Urban Quiet Park I have to admit I was incredulous. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, but of all the parks I visit to make field recordings in the Portland area, this one might be the most frustrating. That is, if you're hoping to get away from anthropogenic sounds—people and their machines.It was just last October that I introduced you to Mt. Tabor (if you weren't already acquainted.) I described it as a “island of green in a patchwork of grey.” And so it is: all 176 acres of it. The deal with mountains, though, is they only give the listener more acoustic vantage as you venture further up and in. There are few folds in the park's contours, so getting out of earshot of boulevards pulsing with machine energy and airplanes raining down sound waves on approach to PDX, just 5 miles to the north, is nearly impossible. It's also a well-loved, well-used park. Runners and cyclists breathe heavy scaling its slopes. People talk. On phones. It is not packed on a weekday, but it sure isn't lonely either. All this sound energy is not a bad thing, don't get me wrong, but why the first urban quiet park in the US? This is an exemplar?It's all about framing isn't it? I mean yeah, you walk up the mountain and there's downtown looking like a diorama set against the green West Hills. It looks quiet. It seems quiet. Quiet is so slippery, so subjective. Maybe it's the signal-to-noise ratio of the near field soundscape—of being able to key in on small sounds because the background noise is just a wash—that lends itself to the perception of quiet. When you can hear little birds, with their little bird-whisper sounds. Or rain. Yes, rain with its crowd-suppressing effect; it makes the park seem quieter. Rain and wind in the trees masks the city din. Like passing through a veil, moving through the rain can feel transportive. It sounds a sizzle on the reservoirs, a diffused and hushed drum circle played on millions of leaves. But still, the first quiet urban park in the whole of the USA? I love the sentiment, but the logic seemed imprecise. Unearned, even.And then a few weeks ago, on a Wednesday, I went up there for a walk. Something was different. The gate to one of several lanes leading to one of several parking areas was locked shut. “Park Closed to Vehicles on Wednesday” a sign read. I don't remember this. Is this new? Then a thought occurred to me: maybe this is why it's the first urban quiet park. Maybe it is earned. After all, cordoning off whole interior parking lots, even one day a week is sure to rankle some folks. This is what intention looks like, I thought. This is a place that, at least on Wednesdays, sounds different. Measurably quieter. It came with a cost. People can't vroom in and out. They have to enter from the perimeter and use good old-fashioned human power to move through it. Mt. Tabor Park, I'm sorry I ever doubted you. But how long has this been going on? A while, it seems. According to a 2013 article, which references the closure policy, it's been well over a decade; so long even the internet doesn't know. I love it when the internet—and AI, when it's not hallucinating— doesn't know something. That's when I let my fingers do the walking through the maze of research tools the Multnomah County Library provides: not quite microfiche, but as close to it as digital gets. Could the policy go back to the 1980's? Conceivably. In a bulletin of Matters to be Considered by City Council, the Apr. 6, 1981 Oregonian references “an ordinance authorizing Parks to install 5 traffic control gates in Mt. Tabor Park” up for consideration. I found no events programmed for the park on a Wednesday thereafter, save for Audubon bird walks embarking from a perimeter entrance in 2006.If it goes back that far, what really motivated no-vehicle-Wednesdays? Was a day of peace and quiet? Wilderness-in-the-city-Wednesdays? I'd like to think so.On several spring and summer Wednesday nights, however the quiet park is jolted to life. Established in 2020, Mount Tabor Dance Community (aka MTDC or Tabor Dance) saw another role that the closure policy could lend itself to in summertime: Insulating their outdoor music-fueled events from the dense neighborhoods of SE Portland, while also minimizing potential conflicts of park users. Tracing its roots to the pandemic and dancing in chalk circles drawn for distancing, the event grew over the years to draw crowds in the hundreds. Last spring and summer MTDC started again at Mt. Tabor, then hopped around to at least five other Portland parks, making good on the motto “Portland is our dance floor.”My score for Mt. Tabor Rain Soundwalk is very gauzy: mostly languorous synth pads and drones. Electric piano only enters the instrumentation in the final third of the recording. That's my favorite moment; a tender melody receding into the blue-grey distance.Thanks, my friends, for reading and listening. Mt. Tabor Rain Soundwalk is available on all music streaming services on January 16th, 2026.

Host Dirk Friel is joined by sleep researcher and sleep coach Charlotte Edelsten, whose expertise is backed by over two decades of research on sleep and performance. Together, they dive deep into the science behind sleep for endurance athletes—addressing why sleep is a true foundation for training adaptations, injury prevention, and race-day performance. Charlotte Edelsten shares insights from her years conducting research at high-profile endurance events like UTMB Mont Blanc, unpacks why many athletes struggle with sleep quality (even Olympians!), and dispels myths about supplements and wearables. She discusses practical strategies for managing sleep during training and competition, including napping protocols, sleep banking, and how to optimize rest at altitude or before an ultra-endurance race. 00:00 "Endurance Training & Sleep Insights" 03:37 Sleep Disturbances in Athletes 09:10 Caffeine: Adenosine Blocker Explained 11:10 Limitations of Sleep-Tracking Devices 13:21 "Sleep's Impact on Athletic Performance" 18:46 "Understanding Sleep Through Sleep Diaries" 20:54 "Supplements Won't Cure Sleep Issues" 26:07 "Pre-Race Sleep and Mindset" 29:18 "Sleep Strategies and Performance" 31:01 "Gradual Sleep Extension for Athletes" 33:39 "Strategic Napping in Sports" 37:39 "Optimizing Sleep for Best Rest" 42:09 Sleep's Role in UTMB Success 43:49 "Fatigue Management for Runners" 47:42 "Caffeine Strategies in Training" 50:51 "Hallucinations From Extreme Sleep Deprivation" 55:12 "Endurance Unlimited: Follow & Train"

What if the real reason you keep getting hurt isn't laziness or bad form, but one single run where you went just a little too far?Most people don't quit running because they're lazy. They quit because they get hurt doing too much too soon. In this episode, I break down why that happens, why feeling good can actually be the most dangerous moment in training, and how small, boring choices are what keep runners healthy long term. I walk through a smarter way to start running again, how to build fitness without stressing joints and tendons, and how to think about running as something that fits into life instead of fighting it. If you want to stop starting over, stay injury free, and make running something you can do for years, this episode lays the foundation.Key TakeawaysThe run that causes injury is rarely the first one. It's usually the run where you feel good, push too far, and don't realize the damage until days later.Walking before running isn't a setback. It's the safest way to rebuild tendons, joints, and habits so you can stay consistent without breaking down.Consistency beats intensity every time. Running a few days a week for months is far more powerful than pushing hard for a few weeks and quitting.Timestamps[00:19] What You'll Learn[01:06] Why Walking Comes First[02:47] The 3-Day Plan[03:28] Week 1[04:20] Week 2[04:33] Week 3[04:46] Week 4[05:06] Week 5[05:38] Use This to Start Running[06:29] Why Running Is Different[08:01] Build the Body | The Three Must Do Exercises for Runners[09:35] The Mindset Reset[11:26] Use This to Do Long Runs the Right WayLinks & Learnings

What to listen for:Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, explore how drive, motivation, arousal, and focus work together as an integrated system—rather than isolated traits—to create elite performance.Using a car engine metaphor, Robin explains drive as the engine size or “genetic horsepower” a dog is born with. It's fixed hardware that defines inherent desire for the work. Motivation is the fuel, built through reinforcement history. Even the biggest engine won't run without gas, and Stacy stresses that fuel quality matters: powerful, varied reinforcers outperform “cheap” rewards, while poisoned reinforcement can stall performance entirely.Arousal is the fuel's octane—too high and the engine overheats, too low and performance lags. Robin describes arousal mobility as training dogs to work across a wider range, smoothly transitioning between high excitement and calm control without corrections.Focus and engagement are the steering wheel and pedals. Without them, balanced drive, motivation, and arousal just mean “going fast into a wall.” Engagement channels intensity into productive teamwork.Examples like drive-capping passive alerts versus drive-leaking bark-and-hold behaviors show how training strategies must adapt to balance these elements. The takeaway: performance problems aren't about lacking drive alone, but about managing the full system. Key Topics:●      The Car Engine Metaphor (02:15)●      Arousal Mobility: Widening Performance Range (13:30)●      Passive Trained Final Response as Ultimate Drive Cap (20:16)●      Fluency Reducing Arousal Sensitivity Over Time (26:38)●      Powder's Comfortable Arousal Range Theory (29:11)●      Sport vs. Working Dog Arousal Requirements (32:02)●      Takeaways and Events + Workshops (35:55) Resources:·      Stacy's class – How to Handle a Rocket Ship·      Upcoming EventsWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

No race weekend in Kansas City? Fine. We made our own chaos. This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we're swapping the usual race recap for a Tokyo Marathon countdown update and a deep dive into the workout that can make or break a cycle: the long run. Kyle takes you to Lexington Lake Park for a “virtual half marathon” powered by laps, a trunk-made aid station, and sheer stubborn consistency. Along the way, we talk confidence when you're training solo, why time-on-feet might matter more than mileage (especially for us real-life runners), and the myths that need to be tossed straight into the nearest trash can. We also get real about mental endurance, emotional rollercoasters mid-run, and the little “run-walk hacks” that help you stay ahead when time limits are staring you down. Plus, there's some spicy frustration when a beloved tradition gets its date moved and threatens the podcast's annual anniversary plans. Don't worry, we're adapting like runners do, and the new celebration plan might actually be even better. If you're training for a spring marathon or just trying to survive winter miles with your sanity intact, this one's for you. Lace up and come hang with us.

In The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework – Part 2: How Runners Should Actually Eat, we're talking about the piece that confuses more runners than anything else: food. Most runners think eating better means eating less, cutting out carbs completely, or just being more disciplined. And for a while, that might seem like it's working. But then the hunger ramps up, recovery slows down, energy crashes, and running starts to feel way harder than it should. In this episode, I'm breaking down how runners should actually eat if they want to burn fat, recover faster, and stop feeling like food is a constant mental tug-of-war. This isn't about meal plans, calorie counting, or eating perfectly. It's about fueling in a way that supports your training instead of fighting against it. If you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or stuck when it comes to food and running, this episode is going to bring a lot of clarity.

Angela is joined by Dr Will B to examine the critical relationship between meal timing, gut health, and inflammation.  They discuss how eating close to bedtime can negatively impact heart rate variability and create an inflammatory state in the body, particularly affecting the gut microbiome. They also look at the importance of allowing the gut to enter a recovery mode during the night and emphasise the benefits of earlier meal times KEY TAKEAWAYS: Meal Timing and Inflammation: Eating close to bedtime can lead to increased inflammation, as the body's inflammatory response peaks about six hours after a meal Importance of Fasting: Allowing the gut a fasting period of about 12 hours overnight can help recalibrate the gut microbiome, promoting a healthier gut environment and supporting overall health. Four Nutritional Pillars: To support a healthy microbiome and reduce inflammation, focus on four key nutrients: fibre, polyphenols, healthy fats, and fermented foods Dietary Patterns: While various dietary patterns (like vegan, carnivore, or keto) are often debated, the focus should be on ensuring adequate intake of the four nutritional pillars rather than adhering strictly to a specific diet TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:02:21] Nighttime gut microbiome recovery.

We sit down with runner and American Heart Association advocate Molly McGuire from Muncie, IN, and her story grabs us from the first mile. We open on maternal heart health as Molly explains preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome, the warning signs people miss, and why quick action saves lives. We dig into how grief and survival reshaped her outlook, then pivot to the run: the 50-states quest (45 down), pacing in Indiana, and the Honolulu marathon that made her believe she could go the distance. We laugh about costume runners and Converse-at-the-parade blister mistakes, then get real about New York's tough day and the 12-week grind back from a wrecked gait. We talk origin stories, the first half that taught her the power of good shoes, and the community she's built coast to coast—even when the local scene didn't fit. We celebrate a 100-pound weight-loss journey, labs turning around, and choosing a few miles over a few drinks on stressful days. We shout out the partners and best friends who make these trips possible, and why “your only competition is yourself” might be the best newbie advice we've heard. We wrap with Molly's A-number-one race pick (Key West in January), plus practical takeaways: know the red flags, check your BP, and speak up for the people you love. It's heart health, hard lessons, and the joy of showing up—Second Wind style.

Skinny culture is making a comeback… and honestly, it's got me concerned. It's not only back — it feels like it's EVERYWHERE. And it's not serving runners — especially women in their 40s and beyond.In this episode of the Real Life Runners Podcast, Kevin and I have a real, honest conversation about why chasing “skinny” is holding so many runners back — from stronger runs, better recovery, and long-term health.We dive into three powerful mindset shifts that can change how you train, fuel, and feel in your body:Strong over skinny — because muscle is your superpower for performance, injury prevention, and aging wellBuilding over losing — shifting the focus from shrinking your body to building strength, confidence, and resilienceFueling over restricting — learning how proper nutrition (and even eating more!) actually supports fat loss, hormone health, and better runningIf you've ever felt torn between wanting to be lighter and wanting to be stronger… or if old diet rules are creeping back into your running life, this episode is for you.We talk about what actually supports sustainable running, why muscle matters more than the number on the scale, and how to move into 2026 focused on health, energy, and longevity — not deprivation.This is your reminder: 

Kettlebell workouts can be a great way to maintaining strength, even if you have a running injury.    If you are a runner who has an overtraining injury like a metatarsal stress fracture or a plantar plate sprain, you are probably doing everything you can to keep the rest of your running body strong, while that one injured part heals.    Kettlebell training can help, as long as you don't let those kettlebell workouts overload that injury to the ball of the foot.   You have to pay close attention to form and technique. Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about Kettlebell mistakes and modifications for injured runners.

Strength training isn't extra work. It's the hidden shortcut that finally stops your legs from fading in the last miles.If you have been skipping the gym because you think it takes too much time or will make you too bulky to run fast, this episode flips that script completely. I am breaking down a specific strength training formula that boosts running economy by 5%—that is like shaving minutes off your marathon time without running a single extra mile. You will discover why heavy weights and long rests are actually better for endurance than high reps, and I will walk you through a simple, scalable plan that fits into just 15 to 30 minutes a week so you can finally get stronger, faster, and injury-proof without burning out.Key TakeawaysStrength training for runners isn't about building big muscles—it's about teaching your body to run more efficiently and with less risk of injury using just 20–40 minutes a week of targeted lifts.Heavy weights, low reps (4–6), and explosive follow-up moves like jumps help your nervous system recruit muscle faster, which translates to better speed and endurance on the run.Focusing on your posterior chain—glutes, hamstrings, and calves—is the secret to staying strong in the final miles, not just your quads or core.Timestamps[00:25] What You'll Learn[01:17] What Is Strength Training for Running?[01:54] Why Low Reps = Less Fatigue[03:50] Get the Free Training Plan to Do This Yourself[05:06] The Top 10 Best Running Strength Exercises - #1 Squat[06:48] Romanian Deadlifts (RDLs)[08:06] Bulgarian Split Squat[09:06] Step-Ups[10:15] Help Another Runner Do More Smarter Strength Training[11:01] Calf Raises[14:04] Drop Jumps[15:12] I Tried Them and It Hurt[16:01] Squat Jumps[16:33] Single-Leg Bounds (Forward or Up)[17:19] The Load-Explode Protocol[18:00] Which Muscles Power Your Running[18:17] Backup Muscles for Running[19:59] S.H.E.

Angela is joined by Sarah Rusbatch, to discuss the hidden health risks of alcohol, particularly for women in midlife. Sarah reveals the physiological reasons why women metabolise alcohol differently than men, leading to increased health risks, and shares the alarming statistic that four out of five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer.  Together they focus on the three core pillars for successful behaviour change: focusing on what you gain, replacing the habit with a positive alternative, and embracing the power of small experiments KEY TAKEAWAYS: The Hidden Risks for Women: Women metabolise alcohol less efficiently than men due to lower levels of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme, making them more susceptible to alcohol's negative effects Alcohol's Link to Cancer: One in five breast cancer deaths are linked to alcohol, and the risk increases dose-dependently. Four out of five women are unaware of this direct connection. The Power of Positive Substitution: Successful behaviour change requires moving the focus from the deprivation (loss aversion) to the gains (e.g., better sleep, more energy, better skin) and replacing the drinking habit with an effective, positive alternative. Addressing the Root Cause: For many, alcohol is a "solution to the problem" of boredom, stress, or escape. Lasting change requires looking at what alcohol is masking and making fundamental changes to your life TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 0:01:25: One glass of alcohol can be too much for those with genetic predispositions 0:03:08: Why women metabolise alcohol differently 0:04:45: Four in five women are unaware of the link between alcohol and breast cancer. 0:06:50: The alcohol industry's successful marketing strategy that led to the rise of female-targeted pink drinks 0:11:35: The three core pillars for behaviour change VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible Get weekly science tips to optimise your health and longevity to your inbox with Angela's free newsletter.

Join The Half Marathon Follow-Through Formula (FREE 4-Day Challenge) If you've trained for a half marathon before but didn't follow through, this episode will change how you think about training. In this episode of the Healthy Runner Podcast, Dr. Duane Scotti breaks down the real reason half marathon training falls apart for so many runners (it has nothing to do with motivation or discipline).  Most runners are committed and driven, but they're missing a system that actually fits real life. You'll learn why relying on motivation leads to burnout, how skipping strength and recovery increases injury risk, and what it really takes to stay consistent when life gets busy.  Inside the episode, you'll discover: - Why most half marathon training plans fail - The 5 biggest mistakes that cause runners to fall off - How to build a realistic weekly training schedule - Why strength and recovery are essential for consistency - How to adjust training without quitting when setbacks happen Duane also shares a real runner success story and invites you to join a free 4-Day Challenge, The Half Marathon Follow-Through Formula, designed to help you stop feeling stuck and finish strong in 2026. If you want to stop starting over and finally follow through on your half marathon goals, this episode is for you.  

This morning I was on a webcam call with a runner who had healed a fracture and started running again. He has been running every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with cross-training in between.     Now he is ready to add a fourth running workout to his weekly training schedule.    The question is:    “What day of the week is best to add an additional run, because I want to make sure I don't overload the healing tissue and re-injure it.”   Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about which weekday is best to add workouts for injured runners.

Today's episode is a special one as we officially welcome The Mother Runners to the Sandyboy Productions Podcast Network. Whitney Heins, host of the show and founder of themotherrunners.com, joins Lindsey for a relaxed, back-and-forth conversation about running, motherhood, identity, injury, coaching, and building a platform that lifts up moms who run. Whitney shares how motherhood changed her relationship with running, the experience of feeling isolated as a new mom, and how that led her to create an online resource and community specifically for mother runners. She opens up about navigating a long injury cycle and the process of returning to the marathon to run a 2:54 in her 40s. Whitney also talks about what it's like stepping into her own podcast after co-hosting Miles With Moms, and why storytelling matters so much in this space. This episode is airing on both I'll Have Another and The Mother Runners, making it the perfect way to kick off this new chapter. About The Mother Runners Podcast: There is truly no shortage of incredible and inspiring mother runners in the world. Every mom has such a good story—no matter how much they run, how fast, how far, or for how long—embedded in all of our journeys are chapters of strength, hope and overcoming that we all need to hear. Because when we hear each other's stories, not only are we lifting each other up, but we are learning and growing, being inspired, and motivated. That's why this podcasts features in-depth and fun interviews with fellow moms who run to share their stories—some names you may recognize, and some you will get to know. But all will inspire and entertain you. Thanks for being here!

We are going to be talking about seed oils and dietary fat in your runner's body in general. We are really going to dive into food science today. I am not going to tell you that certain foods are good or bad. We cannot have black and white thinking when it comes to foods. I also talk about how mental health is directly linked to our physical health. This episode originally aired August 28, 2023. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram @runnergirldietitian
