A free office registration for the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon in 2017. A 2:45 finish. Cramps at every kilometre. Medical assistance on the route. And absolutely no intention of ever running again.That was Megha Kishore's introduction to running.In Episode of Run with Fitpage, Vikas Singh sits down with Megha — certified marathon coach, ASICS Delhi Coach, Hyrox Delhi gold medalist, and one of India's most competitive age category runners — for a conversation about what it actually takes to go from a reluctant first-timer to a serial podium finisher while managing a full-time career, a family, and everything else life throws at you.In this episode we covered:How a COVID lockdown in the UK turned a gym-goer into a runner — and why she never looked backTraveling 3 hours every day just to train for 1 hour — and what that kind of obsession actually costsWhat changed when she stopped trying to be perfect at everything — and how that shift unlocked her best performancesHow she trained for Hyrox Delhi in the scorching June heat — doing burpees and lunges on outdoor grass in direct sun — and finished in 1:24:45Why most people get Hyrox completely wrong — the one mistake that sends everyone crashing in the final stationsRunning by feel versus running by heart rate — and why she has never once looked at her watch during a raceWhat she would tell every Indian woman who thinks she does not have enough time, enough energy, or the right age to startAbout Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie talk about what makes running and rehab advice actually useful when you are overwhelmed by influencers, conflicting opinions, and constant “do this, do that” content. Valerie shares why she started creating videos back in 2011: after clinics, runners often could not remember the drills and tips she taught, so she began filming the movement work so people could go back and review it later. That simple, repeatable teaching style became part of RunRx, where the focus is on clear cues, practical drills, and helping runners understand the same movement from different angles until it clicks.The episode also covers how to evaluate online coaching advice without getting lost in the noise. Valerie explains why the longevity of a coach matters, why it is worth asking whether a video actually shows you something useful, and why simple teaching often works better than flashy content. She shares how she used the same injury-prevention ideas from RunRx for her own rehab, why some stretches look impressive but are not realistic for most people, and why the real goal is to help runners hold the running pose with better alignment, mobility, and confidence. The conversation ends with a strong reminder that real coaching is about honesty, clarity, and results, not hype.Where to find us ▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play

What does it actually take to line up at your first trail ultra and not just survive it, but do it right? In this Expert Series episode, we sit down with Ash Daniels, Level 3 Athletics Australia accredited coach, AUTRA endorsed coach, and Australian national 100km team manager, to get into everything road runners need to know before making the jump to trails.Ash starts where most coaches don't: with his own disastrous first attempt at Ultra-Trail Australia, carrying enough kit to survive the weekend and arriving at a checkpoint six hours late. From that experience came a 5-hour PB the following year, a decade-long coaching career, and a very clear philosophy on what actually matters in trail and ultra preparation.In this episode we cover training specificity for trail (and why your marathon prep won't save you), the vert-per-10K metric Ash uses with all his athletes, why he ditched heart rate zones in favor of running power and RPE, what social media consistently gets wrong about electrolytes and high-carb fueling, and a nuanced, honest conversation about where AI fits (and doesn't fit) in coaching.Whether you're eyeing your first 50K or just trail-curious, this one is packed with practical, no-nonsense insight.--Find Ash at journey2ultra.com.au or on Instagram @journey2ultracoachingFollow Bruna: @justbrunathingsFollow Fabi: @endurance_fabiLearn more about the podcast: www.humanendurancepodcast.com

JOIN MY TEAM & SUPPORT A GREAT CAUSE: https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/en/teams/5Nrld5?join=1Every runner has a mental checklist of what's holding them back. Iron deficiency, life stress, ice bath mythology, and the gap between ambition and biology probably aren't on it—but after this episode, they will be.Alex Ostberg is back for the Rundown Recap, and he starts where most coaches start when an athlete is underperforming: iron. They discuss why iron is so central to the oxygen transport system, what symptoms to watch for before things get serious, and how to get tested without a physician's order. The conversation then shifts to something harder to quantify: stress. Alex makes the case that mental load isn't separate from training—it modifies how the body adapts to it. He and Dominic dig into how elite runners like Grant Fisher and Jess McLean actually use added life structure to their advantage, and what high schoolers stacking SATs on top of race days can learn from Coach Milt's approach to finals week.From there, the ice bath episode. Alex isn't anti-ice:he's anti-misunderstanding. The recovery oil study alone will make you rethink one of the most entrenched rituals in the sport.The final piece ties it all together: biology moves slower than your ambitions. Alex breaks down why backwards-facing training plans are built on false certainty, and why the athlete who stops fighting physiology is always the one still standing at the end of a long season.Tap into the Alex Ostberg Rundown Recap Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Hiring a running coach should make your life easier.It should fast-track your progress, keep you consistent, and get you better results.But the reality is… most runners either don't hire one whenthey should or they hire the wrong one and waste months, sometimes years.So today Ron and I are going to walk you through exactly what you need to look for in a coach so you actually get results from it.

-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rsWhat if the secret to running faster is eating a donut? World-class coach Alex Ostberg is back for another monthly breakdown of his newsletter, The Rundown; and this one might be his most thought-provoking yet.Dominic and Alex tear through four recent editions, starting with a piece that'll make your clean-eating friends squirm: The Case for Junk Food as a Runner. Alex breaks down the real physiology behind post-run refueling—and why your muscles genuinely don't care where your carbohydrates come from. From there, the conversation shifts to one of the most emotionally charged moments in any athlete's season: the bad race. Alex's piece, What Not to Do After a Bad Race, has a surprisingly sharp analytical edge, pulling from NBA data, Fidelity investment research, and a controversial Super Bowl call to make the case for why one result should almost never rewrite your entire plan. Then Alex lays out The Best Way to Guarantee Improvement; a question every runner asks and very few coaches answer honestly. The aerobic vs. anaerobic breakdown is clear, practical, and backed by real science.Finally, they close with Five Rules for Building Mileage Without Getting Injured. The "durability lag" concept and the Ferrari-in-a-Prius metaphor will stick with you long after this episode ends.Tap into The Rundown Recap Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Most runners follow training plans like line cooks following a recipe; they have no idea why any of it works, and when something breaks, they panic and start over.If you've ever followed a training plan and still felt stuck, tired, or constantly on the edge of injury, this episode will shift how you see running completely. I break down how to stop blindly following plans and start building your own with intention, using simple principles that actually match your fitness level, your goals, and your life. You'll learn how to structure your training without overwhelm, why doing less can sometimes give you more results, and how to make small adjustments that add up to real progress over time.Key TakeawaysFocus on training based on where you actually are, not where you wish you were. Your experience level determines what your body can handle and what kind of training will truly work.Don't try to improve everything at once. Choose one or two key areas, build them over time, and maintain the rest so you don't burn out or plateau.Keep most of your runs easy and controlled. This helps you stay consistent, avoid injury, and build the foundation you need to actually get faster.Timestamps[00:10] What You'll Learn[01:03] The 3 Ingredients Every Self-Coached Runner Needs[02:17] Ingredient 1: Know What Level Your At[04:46] Use This To Become an Expert Self-Coached Runner[05:18] The Novice Levels Of Run Experience[06:03] The Intermediate Level Of Run Experience[06:40] The Advanced Level Of Run Experience[08:13] Ingredient 2: Progressive Overload: Build, Maintain, Connect[11:21] Ingredient 3: The Ratio That Keeps You Running[14:46] Use This to Self-Coach and Get Closer to 80:20 RatioLinks & Learnings

Airey Bros Radio Episode 443 features Matt Roe, Head Coach of Butler University Track & Field and Cross Country, for a deep dive into one of the most respected NCAA Division I distance running programs in the country.Originally streamed live on March 5, 2026, this episode explores how Coach Roe has built Butler into a consistent force in Big East cross country and track & field, developing athletes into conference champions, NCAA finalists, All-Americans, and national-caliber competitors.Since taking over the program in 2007, Roe has helped shape Butler into a premier destination for serious student-athletes looking for the right balance of elite academics, team culture, long-term development, and championship-level performance.In this conversation, we cover:Coach Matt Roe's path from standout runner at the University of Portland to NCAA Division I head coachHow Butler has won 4 of the last 6 Big East Men's Cross Country titlesWhat Roe looks for in recruits, including multi-sport athletes, untapped potential, and “diamonds in the rough”Why development, biomechanics, toughness, and culture matter more than flashy PRsHow Butler balances high academic standards with elite athletic successJesse Hamlin's rise and Butler's current momentum in indoor track and outdoor trackThe long-game philosophy behind building nationally competitive men's and women's distance programsSystems over motivation, coaching psychology, and preparing athletes to “go break things” on race dayThis is a must-listen episode for distance runners, cross country athletes, track & field coaches, recruits, parents, and fans of NCAA running who want an inside look at what it takes to build a winning program at the Division I level.

In this episode, Carina discusses the implications of AI coaching in the realm of running. While acknowledging the benefits of AI, she emphasizes its limitations, particularly in providing personalized coaching that accounts for human emotions and experiences. The conversation explores the importance of human interaction, accountability, and the risks associated with relying solely on AI for training plans. Ultimately, Carina advocates for the irreplaceable value of human coaches in fostering motivation and understanding in runners.TakeawaysAI coaching has limitations that can be dangerous.Human interaction is crucial in coaching.AI cannot understand the emotional aspects of training.Accountability from a coach motivates runners.AI can provide plans but lacks personalization.The human element in coaching enhances performance.AI can lead to injury if not monitored properly.Runners need emotional support during training.AI can be a tool, but not a replacement for coaches.Investing in a coach can lead to better results.

We want to look at what actually moves the needle for runners, and we're back with Alex Ostberg to recap his recent newsletters from The Rundown to do just that.We start with a hard truth many athletes learn too late: performance doesn't fix identity. That idea sets the tone for a broader reflection on what success in running really looks like when the noise fades.      From there, we zoom out. Over the past year, certain lessons kept repeating themselves across training, racing, and life; lessons that hit harder than any single workout or result. And they tend to show up whether you're chasing a state title, a marathon PR, or just consistency.We also look back at 2025 as a whole. What trends mattered? What narratives were overblown? And what quietly reshaped the sport in ways most people missed?That leads into habits nobody talks about enough. Not revolutionary breakthroughs, but small, underrated behaviors that compound over months and years. Finally, we tackle one of running's most persistent myths, which is especially relevant in an era of super shoes, carbon plates, and constant gear discourse.This episode isn't about hacks or hot takes. It's about clarity; it's about cutting through performance culture, training dogma, and external validation to understand what really lasts in this sport.Tap into the Alex Ostberg Rundown Recap Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

Today on the show, I'm joined by Michele Pettinger, a certified running coach, fitness nutrition specialist, and functional nutrition counselor. As the owner of P3Running, Michelle blends run coaching with nutrition education for athletes of all ages, helping young runners understand how food supports performance, recovery, and long-term well-being. However, before we begin, I'd like to share a free resource with you. If you are a food, nutrition, or culinary pro and you want to share your expertise in a published cookbook, one thing a publisher will want you to have is a platform. This is your visibility in the marketplace. If you would like some guidance on what a platform is, why you should have one, and some tips on building one, head on over to cookbookwritersacademy.com/platform for a complimentary checklist download.  In this episode, we talk about: Michele's journey from idea to publication of her new book: The Young Runner's Guide to Nutrition.  How she shaped her concept that connects nutrition science with workable recipes Why she wrote this book for young athletes, their parents, and coaches?  Her writing process, the resources she leaned on, and the systems she built to stay organized Insights about building a platform, and not letting social media metrics distract you from your mission. Whether you're a runner, a cook, a baker, an athlete, or an aspiring author, Michele's story is a powerful reminder that writing a book is a race built on one day, one habit, one recipe, one chapter at a time.  Things We Mention in This Episode: Cookbook Author Platform Checklist Michele Pettinger P3 Running

Welcome to Week 1 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the Chicago Marathon with one goal in mind: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. If you want an inside look at how a running coach tackles marathon training, you're in the right place. In this vlog, I take you day-by-day through my first week of marathon training, sharing how I'm handling an early overuse injury, defining my why, dealing with summer heat, and setting the tone for the next 16 weeks. From adjusting mileage to balancing life, this series is all about making marathon training work for everyday runners, avoiding burnout, and having more fun chasing big goals. The only way you fail is if you fail to try. WHY NOT?!

Welcome to the very first OFFICIAL week of Chicago Marathon training! Whether you're on a treadmill or just hanging out on a run, lace up and join me for a 35-minute run for week 1 run 1 of my 16-week Marathon Build For The Chicago Marathon! BQ or Bust started in 2016 as a moonshot goal for me to take my marathon time from 3 hours 59 minutes to 3 hours 35 minutes which, at the time, was my Boston Marathon Qualifying Time (BQ). I vlogged the entire experience and had to rumble with perfectionism, a fear of failure, and pre-defined limits. I was given the opportunity to explore beliefs that were holding me back and given space to grow and change. After a few attempts of falling short, 9 years later I'm trying again. Originally, I thought I aged up. I was back to 3 hours 35 minutes. Then, the qualifying times changed AGAIN and I'm back to 3:30. But like I learned, the only way you can fail is if you fail to try! DARE TO FAIL. WHY NOT!?!? In this episode, we dive into: -I'm injured! Week 1 and I have a little overuse injury. -Defining our why -What I focus on at the start of a marathon build -The heat -What I want out of this marathon build. This go-around is different. Yes, a 3 hour 30 minute marathon is still my North Star, but honestly? The bigger goal is to see what I'm truly capable of. WHY NOT? Now that I'm a running coach with years of experience under my belt, I'm approaching this from a totally new place. This series is my chance to push back on so much of the terrible advice I see online. Running is complicated—and if you're an everyday runner, you cannot just mimic what people running 50+ mile weeks are doing. Here, we're focusing on:  ✅ How to make training work for your life ✅ How to avoid burnout ✅ How to have more fun chasing your dreams Throughout the BQ or Bust series, you'll get: ✔️ Weekly "Run With Me" treadmill episodes ✔️ Weekly roundup vlog and podcast episode to keep you in the loop   ✔️ Social media hits WHY NOT? Let's find out what's possible—together.

"They just want a chance to compete." Yesterday, after much anticipation and speculation, USA Track & Field announced the changes to the qualifying times for the 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. So, what's it going to take to OTQ leading up to LA 2028, and to get to run at the Trials? For women, the qualifying mark stays the same: 2:37:00. On the men's side, things are getting faster: Men will now need to run 2:16:00 to qualify — a full two minutes faster than the qualifying time for the 2024 Trials. In this episode, USATF's Chairs of the Long Distance Running Committee — Kim Conley and Conor Nickel — join the show to explain what what into making these decisions, and what they mean for athletes and fans alike.

"There's this sense of all these people, they came out to watch you do this weird, crazy thing. And you're running toward the thing you've been working toward for many months, and all of these people are behind you, and people beside you trying to do the same thing. It's very special." First, Emily Oster started running. Then she started running fast. Then she ran a marathon: the California International Marathon in 2023, where she finished in a Boston Qualifying time of 3:17:39. Now, Emily is officially a Boston Marathoner, having completed this year's race in a personal best time of 3:14:53. In this episode, the economist and best-selling author breaks it all down, including what her training was like this time around, what the energy in the city felt like for a first-time Boston Marathoner, and why she briefly considered calling it quits at mile 23.

"I set this goal. I made a promise to myself that I wanted this, so I'm going to do it. And no, that's not always fun. Maybe that means a late treadmill run or whatever it may be. But those little wins against your brain — and the battle to not do something — help you on race day. Because when it gets hard, you've already practiced doing it when you don't want to, or when it hurts, or when the conditions aren't ideal, or when you're not comfortable." In 2018, Laura Galeazzo — then Anderson — came on the Ali on the Run Show to talk about getting back on the run after having her first daughter. That year, Laura returned to running with a big literal win, breaking the tape in 2:57 at the Buffalo Marathon. Now, seven years and another daughter later, Laura returns to the show to talk about smashing a goal nine years in the making.  At last weekend's McKirdy Micro Marathon, Laura took down a longstanding dream of running sub-2:50, finishing the 26.2 miles in a five-minute personal best of 2:49:32. In this episode, the 23-time marathoner talks about how she has taken nearly an hour off her marathon time, about why this particular race was so significant, and about how she's built so much mental strength to get where she is today.
