While Kyle is out of town, The Back of the Pack Podcast hands the mic to one of our favorite guest hosts — Karin Velez from the Just Grow Something Podcast. This week, Karin brings her science-based expertise and Marine Corps mindset to explore the power of novel stimulus in your running routine. She explains how runners often hit a plateau — mentally and physically — due to a concept called General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS). When your training becomes predictable, your body stops responding. Enter the SAID principle — Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands — which explains why changing things up is key to unlocking progress. Karin shares how to keep your runs interesting without overtraining, burnouts, or breakdowns, using real-world tactics and military discipline. If you've been stuck in a rut, this episode is your blueprint for shaking things up and sparking new growth — without losing your back-of-the-pack spirit.

Anna Troup is a powerhouse in British ultrarunning, and her story is nothing short of epic. After dominating the Montane Summer Spine Race in 2021 and 2022, she suffered a serious foot injury that kept her sidelined for nearly three years. But in June 2025, at age 55, she made a jaw-dropping comeback: winning the 268-mile race outright in 84 hours, 56 minutes, and 37 seconds, finishing more than six hours ahead of the next competitor.XMILES UK - Listeners now receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below.https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 off.https://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off. https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order.https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Protein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order. https://proteinrebel.com/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items.https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order.https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order.https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20& off.https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDContent may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we bring our Run the Nation series home with a celebration of the heartland — the Central States. From the wide-open plains of Kansas to the lakeside charm of Minnesota and the rolling hills of Missouri, we highlight ten essential races that showcase the region's quiet strength and undeniable running spirit. Kyle reflects on his own roots in this part of the country, where runners are humble, weather-tough, and always cheering for each other no matter the pace. Whether you're gunning for a PR on a flat Nebraska course or just trying to survive the hills of Kansas City, the Midwest has something for every runner. We'll talk about the race culture, unpredictable weather, and that distinct community vibe that makes these miles feel more grounded and more real. If you've ever trained in sideways wind or finished a race with frost in your beard and a smile on your face, this one's for you.

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we talk to Kelly Moorman, a truly inspiring runner whose story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of the human spirit. Kelly shares how he first got into running and how his journey took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at just 12 years old. He opens up about the emotional and physical challenges he faced, including kidney failure at 41 and a life-changing kidney and pancreas transplant in 2011. Just as he began to rebuild his health, Kelly faced another battle — a cancer diagnosis that led to a major surgery known as the Whipple procedure. Through it all, he found strength in movement and in the mindset that kept him putting one foot in front of the other. After relocating to Florida in 2018, Kelly reconnected with the running community, completed his first official half marathon in 2023, and now has his sights set on new goals, possibly even a full marathon. In our conversation, he reflects on the role of running in his recovery, how local run clubs supported his journey, and the lessons he's learned through adversity. Kelly also shares advice for others facing health setbacks and reminds us what resilience truly means. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter what we face, there is always a path forward — and often, it starts with a single step.We are now on YOUTUBE:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast Discount Codes for Runners: https://www.runswag.com·  Our website: ⁠www.marathonrunningpodcast.com⁠ ·  Our Instagram: ⁠@runningpodcast⁠·  Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠Amazon Storefront⁠·  Join our Facebook group: ⁠SpeedStriders Facebook Group⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/speedstriders ·  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we head to Buckner, Missouri for one of the most brutal events you've probably never heard of — Summer Argo. Calling it a “race” might be generous, since this officially classified “group run” skips the timing mats, aid stations, and course monitors in favor of raw grit and punishing hills. With over 2,200 feet of elevation gain, no closed roads, and a 9:00 a.m. summer start time designed to turn up the heat, this event is less about medals and more about survival. Only 46 runners dared sign up — 44 showed up, and every single one of them finished. In this episode, we break down the challenge, the community, and what it takes to conquer Argo Road when the sun is high and the pavement's melting. No shade, no shortcuts — just sweat, suffering, and a whole lot of character-building. If you've ever wondered what it's like to run straight into the fire, this one's for you.Sorry for the audio issues! We'll have it cleaned up by next episode!

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, our Run the Nation series heads south — where the miles are sweaty, the smiles are big, and every finish line feels like a family reunion. Kyle shares his personal stories of running the humid roads of Memphis, Gulf Shores, Biloxi, and more — including the only DNF that still nags at him (and why he's going back for sweet redemption). We'll break down ten must-run Southern races, from Atlanta's iconic Peachtree Road Race to the pirate party of Gasparilla and the bourbon-soaked relay through Kentucky's distilleries. Along the way, we celebrate what makes the South so special: warm welcomes, post-race BBQ, medals shaped like pigs and pirate ships, and aid stations that feel like your grandma's porch. The Southern running scene is less about speed and more about showing up, sticking it out through the heat, and raising a toast together at the end. So grab your sweet tea, sit back, and get ready to plan your next humid adventure — because these Southern miles will stick with you long after the sweat dries.

Eddie kicks things off this week with stories from her grand tour of Scotland, full of wild landscapes and even wilder adventures. Both hosts have been soaking up some much-needed family time, surviving dehydrated runs, and narrowly dodging toilet disasters...Gary, along with hundreds of other trail runners, is deep in the taper trenches for the Lakeland 50 or 100. The countdown is on, and the excitement is building.This week's Brew with the Coaches dives into what race week really looks like: the nerves, the prep, and the little rituals that help you toe the line with confidence.Grab a cuppa & settle in. Race day is coming, and you're more ready than you think.

Ever wondered if you can just add more miles to cancel out late-night pizza and gas station snacks? Spoiler: you can't — and that's exactly what we're tackling this week on The Back of the Pack Podcast. We kick things off with a quick rundown of the Sunglasses 5K from this past Saturday — sun, fun, and a few shady characters (pun intended). Then we get real about that classic saying: “You can't outrun a bad diet.” No lectures here — just one back-of-the-pack runner admitting we've all tried to cheat the system with junk food and extra miles. From surprise mid-run stomach disasters to the energy crashes we pretend are just ‘bad days,' we talk about why what we eat really does show up in our shoes. And don't worry — we keep it real with simple, realistic ways to do just a little better, without turning your life into a kale salad cult. Lace up, grab a snack (maybe not a whole pizza?), and join us for some honest talk about fueling the miles we love.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, our Run the Nation series heads to the birthplace of American road racing — the East Coast. From the roaring bridges of New York City to the heartbreak hills of Boston, we're diving into what makes East Coast running so iconic, gritty, and fiercely proud. Kyle breaks down ten must-run races, from massive urban marathons with tens of thousands of runners to legendary hill climbs and historic routes through America's oldest cities. We'll look at what it takes to train through brutal winters and humid summers, and why East Coast runners wear their weather like a badge of honor. You'll hear about the tight-knit club scene, the roaring crowds, the charity runners, and the traditions that turn every finish line into a celebration of American spirit. We'll shout out a few East Coast legends like Des Linden and Shalane Flanagan — proof that tough conditions make tough champions. So lace up and come run the crowded streets, cobblestones, and centuries-old trails that keep the heart of American running beating strong.

Our guest: @ericaweitzrunsIn this episode, we dive deep into the crucial hours, days, and weeks following your marathon finish. We cover the absolute must-dos immediately after crossing the line, focusing on gentle movement, effective rehydration, and that initial carbohydrate and electrolyte replenishment. We then explore the best strategies for the first 24-48 hours, emphasizing consistent nutrition, hydration, and the benefits of very light activity, while also touching on ice baths and contrast therapy. Next, we discuss the importance of active recovery in the first week, providing practical examples of low-impact exercises to aid in waste removal and blood flow. We also address the often-debated topic of time off from running, offering general guidelines and the factors that influence individual needs. Finally, we guide you through a smart and gradual return to running, highlighting the importance of listening to your body when increasing volume and intensity. This episode is your complete guide to optimizing your post-marathon recovery for long-term running success!We are now on YOUTUBE:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast Discount Codes for Runners: https://www.runswag.com·  Our website: ⁠www.marathonrunningpodcast.com⁠ ·  Our Instagram: ⁠@runningpodcast⁠·  Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠Amazon Storefront⁠·  Join our Facebook group: ⁠SpeedStriders Facebook Group⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/speedstriders ·  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast 

What do pit bulls, frozen hurricanes, and minus-14 wind chills have in common? They're all part of the wild ride that's been the first half of 2025 for The Back of the Pack Podcast. In this episode, we lace up to break down the Stars and Stripes 5K in Overland Park — the race that let us run off the BBQ calories just in time for fireworks. But we don't stop there. We're rolling out our very first Packy's: the official, totally unserious mid-year awards for the best, worst, weirdest, and coldest running moments so far. From surprise PRs to regrettable sign-ups (looking at you, double hill climbs) and heartwarming heroes who remind us why we keep showing up — it's all here. Pour yourself a post-run drink (maybe not a giant Vegas Hurricane at 9 a.m.) and come celebrate six months of sweat, stories, and back-of-the-pack glory. Stick around — your own Packy might be waiting in December!

Luke Grenfell-Shaw is a remarkable endurance athlete, and cancer advocate whose story reads like a masterclass in resilience. Diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma at just 24, he refused to let the label “incurable” define him. Instead, he coined the term “CanLiver”.He's cycled 30,000 km from Bristol to Beijing on a tandem bike, inviting hundreds of others, including fellow CanLivers, to join him along the way. He's since become a professional trail runner for Brooks, and he casually ran an 80-minute half marathon during chemotherapy.https://www.alifeintandemfilm.com/https://www.instagram.com/lukegshaw/ XMILES UK - Listeners now receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below.https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 off.https://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off. https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order.https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Protein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order. https://proteinrebel.com/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items.https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order.https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order.https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20& off.https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDContent may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

This Fourth of July, The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind kicks off its Run the Nation series by heading out West — where the freedom to run wild is as big as the coastline itself. From misty coastal boardwalks to rugged mountain trails, the West Coast running scene is all about adventure, grit, and epic scenery that makes you grateful to lace up in the land of the free. Kyle breaks down iconic bucket-list races like Big Sur, Western States 100, and the legendary Hood to Coast Relay. We'll dig into how the terrain, climate, and laid-back surf-and-trail culture shape a community where ultramarathons, mindful miles, and post-run beers go hand in hand. You'll hear stories about West Coast running legends like Jim Walmsley, Sally McRae, Ann Trason, and Dean Karnazes — athletes who show what American endurance is all about. Whether you dream of running under the Golden Gate Bridge or climbing mountain passes in the high Sierras, this episode will stoke your wanderlust and remind you that running is one of the best ways to celebrate the freedom we have. So on this Independence Day, let's hit the road, the trail, and the coast — and honor America, one mile at a time.

This week, we raise our mugs and reflect on the inaugural Tea & Trails Ultra, an unforgettable celebration of endurance, friendship, and the wild beauty of the Lake District.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast: Second Wind, we wrap up our Mental Health Awareness Month series with an episode rooted in resilience, reflection, and finding your “why.” After exploring men's mental health, women's mental load, and the emotional weight of recovery, we're ending with a motivational reminder that running is often born from struggle—and becomes a powerful tool for purpose. Host Kyle Walker shares personal stories of comeback and reinvention, revealing how movement became more than therapy—it became identity. Whether you're running from something, toward something, or simply trying to keep it together one mile at a time, this episode will remind you that you're not alone. From heartbreak to heart health, Kyle explores how the slowest steps often lead to the deepest growth. No medals required—just meaning. This is the one to play when you need to remember why you started in the first place.

This week on the Marathon Running Podcast, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of high-mileage training with a true expert in the field: Hugo van der Broeck (who is on instagram as @run_coach_hugo) shares a unique lens through which to examine the complexities of running significant weekly mileage. In this episode, we leave no stone unturned, starting with a clear understanding of what "high mileage" means for the average runner striving to balance training with the demands of daily life. We delve into the critical importance of injury prevention, discussing common ailments like knee problems, shin splints, and Achilles tendinitis, and how to mitigate these risks while increasing volume. Hugo expertly explains the primary physiological adaptations that occur with consistent high mileage, including a reduction in resting heart rate, an increase in the production of mitochondria and capillaries, and enhanced ATP synthesis. We also discuss the often-overlooked role of strength training, the strategic implementation of mileage increases, the potential benefits and drawbacks of double run days (including the PGC-1alpha connection and immune system considerations), and Hugo's holistic approach to preventing overtraining through sleep, nutrition, nature, and support. As a bonus, we even tackle the intriguing topic of fasted running and its appropriate application in your training. Prepare for an in-depth and incredibly informative conversation that will equip you with the knowledge to approach high-mileage training with confidence and intelligence.We are now on YOUTUBE:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast Discount Codes for Runners: https://www.runswag.com·  Our website: ⁠www.marathonrunningpodcast.com⁠ ·  Our Instagram: ⁠@runningpodcast⁠·  Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠Amazon Storefront⁠·  Join our Facebook group: ⁠SpeedStriders Facebook Group⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/speedstriders ·  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast

Whether you're healing from injury, surgery, burnout, or a personal storm, the mental game can be the real mountain to climb. Kyle opens up about his own recovery journey after two open-heart surgeries and explores how running—and not running—affects our identity, confidence, and hope. From lost pace to rediscovered purpose, this episode is for anyone who's had to start over, slow down, or sit on the sidelines wondering if they'd ever feel like themselves again. Recovery isn't just about getting back on your feet—it's about finding your footing in a whole new way.

265. The Distance Switch: Unlock Marathon Speed by Racing ShorterOur guest: @ericaweitzrunsIn this episode, we explore a counterintuitive but highly effective strategy for marathon runners: intentionally switching your training focus to shorter race distances after completing a marathon. We delve into why this isn't just about recovery, but a powerful way to build speed, improve efficiency, and ultimately become a stronger, more resilient marathoner in the long run. We'll discuss the physiological advantages of training for 5ks, 10ks, and half-marathons, and even touch on how trail running and track workouts can contribute to your overall running development.We are now on YOUTUBE:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast Discount Codes for Runners: https://www.runswag.com·  Our website: ⁠www.marathonrunningpodcast.com⁠ ·  Our Instagram: ⁠@runningpodcast⁠·  Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠Amazon Storefront⁠·  Join our Facebook group: ⁠SpeedStriders Facebook Group⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/speedstriders ·  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast

Week one of ultramarathon training is in the books—and it was a sweaty one! In this episode, we kick things off by checking in on how training is feeling so far, especially as the summer heat settles in. Then we dive into two weekend race recaps, starting with Saturday's Fighting Fentanyl 5K in Shawnee, KS—a meaningful event with a powerful cause. Sunday brought the Village Shalom Father's Day 10K, where the course was fast, but the humidity was faster. Let's just say… it wasn't my finest race performance. We close out the episode by talking about how humidity messes with your running—from elevated heart rate to that feeling of running through soup. If you struggled in this weekend's weather, you're not alone. Lace up and tune in for some honest race reflections, training talk, and weather wisdom from the back of the pack.

Joe Barrs recently, one of the first-ever finishers of the grueling 293-mile Montane Arctic Spine Race, a brutal ultramarathon across Sweden's Kungsleden Trail, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and competitors haul their supplies on sleds.A seasoned adventurer and former Royal Marines Commando, Joe was drawn to the race by the camaraderie of the Spine Race community. He completed the course in eight days, 15 hours, and 19 minutes, tying for second place with fellow racer Ulf Nore. His background includes winter ultramarathons, Alpine skiing, and mountaineering, so he's no stranger to extreme endurance.Pic Credits - @willbaldlygo & @trail_bearXMILES UK - Listeners now receive 10% of their order value back as store credit via the link below.https://xmiles.avln.me/c/RiwxnARvfHeRRunderwear - Use code TEATRAILS15 for 15% off your orderhttps://runderwear.avln.me/c/GPVNMgMfYfLPSHOKZ - Use code TEA102025 to receive £10 off.https://uk.shokz.com?sca_ref=7394994.MfsDQZBAeLQihiPrecision Fuel & Hydration https://visit.pfandh.com/3GKxHjUPrecision Fuel & Hydration Planner https://visit.pfandh.com/3RuP25zHarrier - Use code TEA10 for 10% off. https://harrierrunfree.co.uk/Fenixlight Limited - Use code T&T5 for 5% off your order.https://www.fenixlight.co.uk/Protein Rebel - Use code Tea15 for 15% off your first order. https://proteinrebel.com/Centurion Running - Use code TEAANDTRAILS10 to receive 10% off *Excluding Sale Items.https://centurionrunning.com/GOODR - Use code GOTEAANDTRAILS to reveive 10% off your order.https://goodr.avln.me/c/VLEmsAIZCDtmLIFE JACKET SKIN PROTECTION - Use code GOTYOURBACK for 10% off your first order.https://lifejacketskin.com/PRIMUS UK - Use code TT-PRIMUS-20 for 20& off.https://primusuk.avln.me/c/kBWmOJaEiByDContent may contain affiliate links which can help support and grow this channel at no extra cost to you.

"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.

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.
