Stride into the world of runDisney in our latest episode as we hit the ground running with Scott Douglas, author of, "runDisney: The Official Guide to Racing Around the Parks." Scott's book will transport you through a runner's lens to the most magical races on earth. From starting a running plan to a tour of runDisney medals, this guide covers all of the topics that will help runDisney runners, both veterans and novices. Just as we were lamenting the end of a wonderful race season and wondering what we'd do to fill the time until our next race, our training plans started back up! That's right, if you are running at Disneyland in September, the Galloway training plan has begun. The gang chats a bit about training in general and how our training is getting started for this upcoming season. We even learn that one of the gang is "getting Jacked!"Although it ended a few weeks ago, we finally found the time to visit with our friends Rob, Aime, Katie and Mark from the UK who completed the London Marathon. And that was just the beginning of a big race report. The Rise and Run family was very active throughout the USA, Canada, and England this week. Major events included the Flying Pig in Cincinnati, the Pittsburgh Marathon, the Broad Street Run in Philadelphia, and the Indy Mini at the famed Indianapolis 500 race track. We close this episode with heartfelt thanks for the camaraderie shared on the pavement and an open invitation for you to lace up and join us at future runDisney events. Until our paths cross at the next race, we're here to keep you company on your run, infusing each step with encouragement and a touch of Disney magic.Support the Show.Rise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

James Year rejoins the show along with Will Cook, the Founder of America Without Drivers, and Scott Douglas, the President of America Without Drivers. We go back into the details about the dangers of Autonomous, and why this conversation needs to continue to happen. The technology that's coming should not really be stopped, but there has to be a better way to implement it then how it currently is. Currently Indiana has legislation that would only allow autonomous trucks to be operated if a licensed CDL holder is within the vehicle, this legislation defeats the business models of companies like Aurora who want fully driver out capabilities. We go into details on why voters need to know, and should be more involved. A correction to the podcast is HB1022 is a House bill in Indiana that is a co bill to SB57 in the Indiana Senate, not federal legislation.

This week's key takeaway: A deeper look into the towing industry with Sheen Towing   Episode intro:   We thought it was about time we tackled the important matter of towing: a fundamental pillar of the collision-repair service.   We speak to Scott Douglas, GM of Sheen Towing, who have a whopping 25 tilt trays (soon to become 33!) and 26 body shops across Victoria. Scott has a unique insight because he has been on both sides of the fence, having been Manager of Investigations at Vic Roads before going over to the other side to be where he is today.   Listen up and learn about all-things towing, as well has how Scott combines the towing service with his own body shops to offer a 360° service. Maybe you could do this yourself?   In this week's episode you will learn:   -How Scott finds the right personnel   -Why being able to tow gives you an edge in the marketplace   -The operational challenges of towing   -How the dynamics of the industry have changed   -Why diagnosis has become increasingly important   -What body shops ought to know about the life of a tower   -The public's fear of what might happen to the car on a tow truck   Show links:   ** Sheen Group website: https://sheengroup.com.au/towing   ** Do you have something unique you want to share with us?

EPISODE 37 - The Christian rock band Whiteheart was formed in 1982 by singer Steve Green, guitarist Dann Huff, bassist Gary Lunn, keyboardists Mark Gersmehl and Billy Smiley, and drummer David Huff, most of the members alumni of Bill Gaither's group. After debuting with a self-titled effort issued on the Home Sweet Home label, Green exited the line-up, and was replaced by vocalist Scott Douglas for 1984's Vital Signs; another roster swap exchanging Dann Huff for guitarist Gordon Kennedy again shook up the Whiteheart sound just prior to 1985's Hotline. The remaining Huff brother, David, split soon after its release, as did Douglas; new vocalist Rick Florian and drummer Chris McHugh were installed in time for 1986's Don't Wait for the Movie, the last Whiteheart record to feature Gary Lunn.

Glynna is a beautiful teenager living on the Virginia frontier on the eve of the French and Indian War.  Kane (seriously) is... what does this guy do, actually?  He's a rich dude masquerading as a tutor but really on the hunt for a tiara his mom misplaced.  Is that really a career path?  Anyway, this is Fiery Virginia Jewel, by Elizabeth Leigh.... or is it?  You'll have to listen to the episode to find out whether this author exists or not - we put Steve Ammidown at Bowling Green State University on it, even!  Investigations were investigated!  (Spoiler: maybe?  It's murky?) This book is absolutely chockablock with trauma - Glynna gets abducted and serially assaulted by a guy who keeps her tied up in a cellar, which is not great, but on the other hand it's actually handled pretty well by this book!  Which is a surprise, considering this book!  There's a serial killer!  There a really dumb guy, which is its own agony!  There's a ton of racism against enslaved African Americans and a little unwelcome bit in there about Native Americans!  There's a total disregard for anything even remotely historical, which.. I mean why write this very specific period if you don't care at all?! So, for that reason, we have a special guest - Adrienne is, believe it or not, somebody who listens to our podcast who isn't related to us at all!  Not even a cousin by marriage!  A genuine over-the-transom fan!  She's a living history volunteer at Fort Dobbs and knows a lot about this time period.  For those of you who don't remember your ninth grade US history any better than this Elizabeth Leigh lady does, here's a refresher via Fort Dobbs site manager Scott Douglas (heh, bodice ripping blockbuster): England and France had been enemies for centuries before either claimed parts of the New World.  In North America, several conflicts over territory in the early 18th century climaxed in the French and Indian War. As a result of France's growing attempt to connect her extensive dominions in North America by uniting Canada with Louisiana, she took land claimed to be within the Province of Virginia and began a line of military posts from the Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley.  Virginia responded by sending a unit of soldiers, commanded by 22 year-old Lieutenant-Colonel George Washington, into western Pennsylvania.  Washington ambushed a party of French soldiers in 1754, thus starting the French and Indian War: a conflict what would prove to the beginning of a global struggle for empire. Other colonies were quick to raise soldiers to send to Virginia's aid.  These “provincials”, or American colonists, would fight side by side with British Army troops in several major campaigns during the conflict.  Both European powers formed alliances with dozens of Native American nations, whose aid proved critical for military success.  The French had more numerous allies early in the conflict, which helped them defeat several early British assaults.  Perhaps the best known and most-romanticized of these campaigns took place in the along the Hudson River in 1757, which included the siege and surrender of the British Fort William Henry to French and Indian forces.  James Fennimore Cooper used this as the setting for his 1826 novel “The Last of the Mohicans.”  This novel was adapted into the bodice-ripping blockbuster film by the same name in 1992, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and his flowing locks of hair. By 1759, British generals brought more experienced and greater resources to bear on the French and tide of war turned in Britain's favor as they captured the Ohio country.  By 1761, their armies had secured control of Canada, and had defeated the Cherokee in the southern colonies. The British also triumphed in their global campaigns, capturing territory in the Caribbean, West Africa, and India, and defeating the French in Europe itself by 1763. The consequences of the French and Indian War changed the balance of power in the larger world in Britain's favor, but also strained political relations with her North American colonies.  Just 12 years later, a new war, the American Revolution, would explode and lead to the creation of a new nation.   Look, that man is fine in that movie and I will fight you.  Adrienne was a real champ, putting up with us and all kinds of nonsense - we literally had an earthquake during recording, she got kicked out of a library, it turned out that the author might not be a person... she was very generous with her time and knowledge and we had the best time.  She also shared this fascinating article that gives more context to the kinds of goods sold at these backcountry stores in this time period, which means that this silly book actually got some stuff accidentally right about the fabrics available to these characters!  Who knew?!  (Not Elizabeth Leigh, whoever she is.)

To improve our endurance, we want to be more efficient at an aerobic intensity. To improve our speed, we want to have a higher anaerobic capacity. Besides doing "field testing" like the Swim CSS, Bike FTP and Run TT, one scientific way to test is how well the body processes muscle lactate. If you've ever done a Lactate Threshold Test (LTT), here's how the test administrator interprets the lactate measurement to determine your training zones.   The LTT is performed by starting the athlete a warmup at a very easy intensity. We'll use the run discipline for this example. The athlete will walk on a treadmill for 10 minutes before starting the test and once the test starts, the intensity is increased every 2 minutes. At the beginning of the 10 minutes, the test administrator takes 4 metrics - pace, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR) and lactate millimoles per liter of blood with a blood sample and lab kit. The lactate compared to the pace is the primary metric and the HR and RPE are secondary but useful to confirm and interpret the data. The administrator takes those same 4 metrics at the end of the 10 minutes and every 2 minutes there after. Every 2 minutes the treadmill pace is increased by 30 seconds of pace (11:00, 10:30, 10:00, 9:30 and so on).   There are two key inflection points the test administrator is looking for. When the intensity is increased and the lactate level remains the same as the previous level means that the subject athlete is predominantly aerobic (zones 1-2). When the lactate level increases and levels out after each increase the athlete is in between aerobic and anaerobic (zone 3). When the lactate level continues to rise without an increase to intensity, the athlete is above lactate threshold (zone 4-5).   Our News is sponsored by Buddy Insurance.

Garmin has released the Varia RCT715, a new version of its tail light that features a high-definition camera to record any incidents out on the road.   The Varia RCT715 features the same radar technology as its predecessors. When paired with a Garmin bike computer or smartwatch, the Varia will alert users to vehicles approaching from behind up to 140m away. Garmin says the device can be paired with selected cycling apps such as Ride with GPS. This will enable users to overlay maps with the radar notifications.   Garmin claims the Varia RCT715's tail light can be seen up to one mile away in daylight. The camera records continuously and will save footage if an incident is detected. Garmin says the Varia's camera will “capture sharp, clear footage” at up 1080 pixels and 30 frames per second.   The camera will record constantly when the Varia is in use. If an incident is detected, via Garmin's Incident Detection feature, the camera will automatically save footage from before, during and after the event. According to Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of global consumer sales, this is to provide users with evidence of an incident “should they ever need it”.   However, the camera also provides more recreational functions, in line with how you might use a GoPro. Via the Garmin Varia app, users can access the video footage, transfer files and customise the camera's settings, to do things such as overlay data, including speed and location.   Garmin says the use of the camera will be prohibited or regulated in some jurisdictions, adding that it is the responsibility of the user to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy. While Garmin has added a camera to the Varia, it has retained the radar and tail light functionality of the device.   Like the previous Garmin Varia RTL515, the radar on the new version will still detect and alert users to vehicles approaching from behind to the same distance of 140m.   Similarly, the tail light on the new version is said to be visible up to one mile away in daylight, which is the same as the Varia RTL515. But while the RTL515 has a claimed battery life of up to 16 hours, the RCT715 has a shorter claimed battery life.   The Varia RCT715's battery life is said to be up to four hours with radar and the tail light on ‘solid high' or ‘night flash', and up to six hours with the light flashing. The reduction in battery life is presumably because the camera is recording continuously.   Why Running at Night Feels Harder An interesting new study by researchers at Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology, working with the Swedish military and colleagues in Slovenia. They'd noticed that soldiers on night marches seemed to burn more energy than would be expected from the physical demands of the mission, especially when wearing night-vision goggles that restrict peripheral vision. They wondered whether not being able to see forced the soldiers to alter their strides, sacrificing efficiency for stability, so they decided to test this theory.   The new study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, had 15 volunteers do a series of ten-minute treadmill walks in four conditions: with and without a 56-pound pack, and with and without a blindfold on. The treadmill was set at a comfortable pace of around 30 minutes per mile, with a laser warning system to alert them if they were about to fall off the back of the treadmill.   The results showed that oxygen use (a proxy for energy consumption), breathing, and heart rate all increased substantially when wearing the heavy pack, as you'd expect. The surprise was that they increased by nearly the same amount when adding a blindfold. Here are the graphs of those three parameters, with (circles) or without (squares) the blindfold:   If you compare the circles on the left (i.e. blindfolded with no backpack) to the squares on the right (i.e. not blindfolded with a backpack), you see they're almost the same. In other words, walking with a blindfold takes as much extra effort as walking with a 56-pound pack. To be precise, the backpack increased oxygen consumption by 20 percent, while blindfolding increased oxygen consumption 19 percent.   The explanation for this effect seems to be that the subjects adjusted their strides when blindfolded: their steps got 11 percent shorter and 6 percent wider, and they also lifted their feet 18 percent higher. Bear in mind that this is on a perfectly flat treadmill, so there are no bumps or potholes to avoid: this is just an instinctive response. It's also worth noting that the effect probably isn't just because they're unfamiliar with the challenge of walking while blindfolded: a similar test of blind subjects found that they burned about 25 percent more energy while walking than sighted controls.   Of course, being blindfolded is significantly more disruptive than wearing night goggles, or simply being out at night in poorly lit conditions. That means the size of the effect is probably exaggerated. And walking is different from running. But it seems reasonable to assume that similar mechanisms are at work when you're running in the dark—along with other, more subtle mechanisms like optic flow, which is the pattern of objects flowing through your vision as you move through space.   When you're running or cycling in the dark, you can only see objects that are relatively close to you. That means that they appear in your field of vision only briefly before disappearing behind you, which corresponds to faster optic flow than you'd experience in daylight. A few previous studies, most notably those by Dave Parry and Dominic Micklewright of the University of Essex, have tried manipulating optic flow in virtual reality setups, making the scenery fly past more quickly or slowly than the speed of the treadmill or exercise bike. Sure enough, when optic flow is faster—as you'd experience in dark conditions—you feel like you're moving faster, and any given pace feels harder.   There's an interesting corollary to these findings about optic flow, as Parry explained to Runner's World's Scott Douglas back in 2012. “Running in an environment where most of the visual reference points you can see are close by, you experience a greater sensation of speed than when in an environment where your reference points are far away,” he said. That means running through a forest or through city streets will likely feel faster than running across an open field.   Ever since reading about those optical flow results, I've dismissed the gap between my actual and perceived pace during night runs as a quirk of how my brain estimates effort. During most of my runs, that gap doesn't matter—but if I'm trying to do a tempo run or hard workout before sunrise, the slower pace can be a bummer. So I'll take the new Swedish results as reassurance that night running might really be physiologically harder, not just a brain error—and if that's what it takes to avoid tripping in the dark, I'll accept the trade-off.   What's New in the 303:   Ragnar Snowmass RUN. CAMP. SLEEP? REPEAT.   Ragnar Trail Snowmass-CO presented by Salomon brings you the perfect fusion of trail running, high-country camping, and Rocky Mountain beauty. Teams of 8 (or 4) will find their inner wild on three separate mountain trails, or “loops" that start and finish at Ragnar Village. Glacial valleys, snowcapped peaks, and blooming wildflowers set the scene as you make your way along rolling single-track. Though you may blame the altitude, in the end it will be the stunning mountain views that take your breath away. Conquer each climb and you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Maroon Bells -Snowmass Wilderness — not to mention a much needed downhill.   Without Limits Productions May 13 at 8:30 AM  · This season we usher in a new era of cyclocross, but an era built upon the champions and friends who have defined excellence over its past 23 seasons.  We're proud to announce, on the 1-year anniversary of her tragic passing, the new Gwen Erffmeyer Inglis Cup for the SHIMANO Cyclocross Series - Women OPEN Series Champion!   Upcoming Multisport Events in Colorado (runningintheusa.com) Upcoming Classic Races in Colorado (runningintheusa.com)   Video of the Week: Ragnar Trail Snowmass - CO       Upcoming Guests: World Champion Adventure Racer, Robin Benicasa with us today.

In that discussion I used the example of training in your threshold training intensity zone. If you want to increase your threshold power you need to train at that Z4 Threshold zone to train your body to process muscle lactate efficiently. The more time you spend in that zone, the more adaptation you get. Without the FTP number or accurate substitute, you may be training in the wrong zone (eg Z3 or Z5), neither of which create the same adaptation of teaching your body to improve lactate processing and increasing your capacity to do work.   I also mentioned that training regularly and progressively overloading the correct training zones over the course of 3 weeks will set you up on the 4th week for your retest. If things are working, the next FTP test is at a higher average power than the one 4 weeks earlier. You then adjust the training zones. In this case increasing the power ranges for each zone. Another 3 weeks of training at the new (accurate) zones causes another adaptation, another test, another increase, another adjustment to training zones, etc.   This week I'd like to build on that concept and talk about the importance of consistency in training and how inconsistency can sabotage the process and will likely result in no improvement in the month over month testing.   Lets first discuss the concept of progressive overload and we'll use a simple example. Last week we used training at threshold as the example, but I want to be clear that the concept of progressive overload to achieve adaptation is not limited to the threshold training zone. If we break it down to a fundamental level, there are just a few adaptations that we are trying to affect in our training. We want to adapt our body to have greater endurance (go longer) and we want adapt our speed (go faster). The faster we go for longer, the better our race performances will be.   To improve our endurance, we want to be more efficient at an aerobic intensity. To improve our speed, we want to have a higher anaerobic capacity. Besides doing "field testing" like the Swim CSS, Bike FTP and Run TT, one scientific way to test is how well the body processes muscle lactate. If you've ever done a Lactate Threshold Test (LTT), here's how the test administrator interprets the lactate measurement to determine your training zones.   The LTT is performed by starting the athlete a warmup at a very easy intensity. We'll use the run discipline for this example. The athlete will walk on a treadmill for 10 minutes before starting the test and once the test starts, the intensity is increased every 2 minutes. At the beginning of the 10 minutes, the test administrator takes 4 metrics - pace, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR) and lactate millimoles per liter of blood with a blood sample and lab kit. The lactate compared to the pace is the primary metric and the HR and RPE are secondary but useful to confirm and interpret the data. The administrator takes those same 4 metrics at the end of the 10 minutes and every 2 minutes there after. Every 2 minutes the treadmill pace is increased by 30 seconds of pace (11:00, 10:30, 10:00, 9:30 and so on).   There are two key inflection points the test administrator is looking for. When the intensity is increased and the lactate level remains the same as the previous level means that the subject athlete is predominantly aerobic (zones 1-2). When the lactate level increases and levels out after each increase the athlete is in between aerobic and anaerobic (zone 3). When the lactate level continues to rise without an increase to intensity, the athlete is above lactate threshold (zone 4-5).   Let's set aside other adaptations like muscle and tendon strength and flexibility as well as other adaptations to prevent injury. To achieve greater aerobic efficiency and aerobic capacity requires consistent and  progressive overload dosing of aerobic and anaerobic training. Think of dosing as the number of minutes in each zone that we are trying to affect. The following example is conceptual, but can be extrapolated to fit a training plan for different distance events or performance goals.   Assume that your baseline of training is 200 minutes in aerobic training the week before your last threshold test. To progressive overload dosing, you would increase the load of training over the next 3 weeks as 210, 220 and 230 minutes. It's the same with anaerobic adaptions. Assume you had 20 minutes of anaerobic training in the week before your last test. To progressively overload the dosing of anaerobic training, you may increase that as 43, 46 and 49 over then next three weeks.   A well designed training plan will have this progressive overload concept built into the cumulative training for each week over the course of the weeks between tests. Each training session will have a goal number of minutes for specific training zones which collectively make up the dosing for the week. Using the previous example of threshold dosing, let's assume there were two run training sessions in week 1 that cumulatively added up to 23 minutes of threshold dosing and you nailed the total of 43 minutes. In week 2 your goal was to achieve 46 minutes and assume there were again 2 sessions that totaled 46 minutes of threshold. The first session prescribed 20 minutes, which you nailed.   Lets assume you cut the second session and instead of 23 minutes of threshold you only get in 10 minutes, resulting in 30 total minutes for the 2nd week. Even if you nail the 3rd week of 49 minutes, you have interrupted the progressive overload process. Just looking at the run threshold stress load for each week, the minutes of threshold dosing in minutes would be 43 for week 1, 30 for week 2, and 49 for week 3; 43, 20 and 49. The training stress is inconsistent and the body's reaction to the stress will likely stagnate resulting in plateauing performance.   Cutting workouts short or missing the  altogether across a single or all disciplines can sabotage your adaptations, training progress and race performance. There is another problem as well. When you miss or cut training stress short, your body is less prepared for subsequent training. When you try to do that next harder week of training, you can potentially present more stress than the body is prepared for, which can lead to risk of injury. Athletes will try to make up for missed workouts by adding the missed training. Using the previous example, imagine if you tried to add the missed 16 minutes to the 3rd week and did 46, 20 and 65 (49+16), the risk of injury becomes even greater.    Training software helps athletes by converting training dosing into training stress scores across each discipline to help you track your progress and consistency. Some even weight higher intensities with a higher stress coefficient. This will give you visibility to the inconsistency but its after the fact. One of the things I like about TriDot is that it makes the goal dosing in minutes for each training zone visible before the workout. Most workouts will have a warmup, main set and cooldown, each with goal minutes by zone. The workouts can be pushed to your Garmin or other device and alert you if you are out of the prescribed intensity zone, helping you achieve the goal training stress. TriDot gives the athlete a training execution score called TrainX. If the athlete follows the prescribed training and consistently get high TrainX scores, they get faster results with fewer injuries.   If you want to talk further about how to train consistently to get better results, reach out at Rich@303colorado.com or message me @tripodcasterrich.   Check out the TriDot Free Trial https://app.tridot.com/onboard/sign-up/richsoares   Our News is sponsored by Buddy Insurance.

Garmin has released the Varia RCT715, a new version of its tail light that features a high-definition camera to record any incidents out on the road.   The Varia RCT715 features the same radar technology as its predecessors. When paired with a Garmin bike computer or smartwatch, the Varia will alert users to vehicles approaching from behind up to 140m away. Garmin says the device can be paired with selected cycling apps such as Ride with GPS. This will enable users to overlay maps with the radar notifications.   Garmin claims the Varia RCT715's tail light can be seen up to one mile away in daylight. The camera records continuously and will save footage if an incident is detected. Garmin says the Varia's camera will “capture sharp, clear footage” at up 1080 pixels and 30 frames per second.   The camera will record constantly when the Varia is in use. If an incident is detected, via Garmin's Incident Detection feature, the camera will automatically save footage from before, during and after the event. According to Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of global consumer sales, this is to provide users with evidence of an incident “should they ever need it”.   However, the camera also provides more recreational functions, in line with how you might use a GoPro. Via the Garmin Varia app, users can access the video footage, transfer files and customise the camera's settings, to do things such as overlay data, including speed and location.   Garmin says the use of the camera will be prohibited or regulated in some jurisdictions, adding that it is the responsibility of the user to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy. While Garmin has added a camera to the Varia, it has retained the radar and tail light functionality of the device.   Like the previous Garmin Varia RTL515, the radar on the new version will still detect and alert users to vehicles approaching from behind to the same distance of 140m.   Similarly, the tail light on the new version is said to be visible up to one mile away in daylight, which is the same as the Varia RTL515. But while the RTL515 has a claimed battery life of up to 16 hours, the RCT715 has a shorter claimed battery life.   The Varia RCT715's battery life is said to be up to four hours with radar and the tail light on ‘solid high' or ‘night flash', and up to six hours with the light flashing. The reduction in battery life is presumably because the camera is recording continuously.   Why Running at Night Feels Harder An interesting new study by researchers at Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology, working with the Swedish military and colleagues in Slovenia. They'd noticed that soldiers on night marches seemed to burn more energy than would be expected from the physical demands of the mission, especially when wearing night-vision goggles that restrict peripheral vision. They wondered whether not being able to see forced the soldiers to alter their strides, sacrificing efficiency for stability, so they decided to test this theory.   The new study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, had 15 volunteers do a series of ten-minute treadmill walks in four conditions: with and without a 56-pound pack, and with and without a blindfold on. The treadmill was set at a comfortable pace of around 30 minutes per mile, with a laser warning system to alert them if they were about to fall off the back of the treadmill.   The results showed that oxygen use (a proxy for energy consumption), breathing, and heart rate all increased substantially when wearing the heavy pack, as you'd expect. The surprise was that they increased by nearly the same amount when adding a blindfold. Here are the graphs of those three parameters, with (circles) or without (squares) the blindfold:   If you compare the circles on the left (i.e. blindfolded with no backpack) to the squares on the right (i.e. not blindfolded with a backpack), you see they're almost the same. In other words, walking with a blindfold takes as much extra effort as walking with a 56-pound pack. To be precise, the backpack increased oxygen consumption by 20 percent, while blindfolding increased oxygen consumption 19 percent.   The explanation for this effect seems to be that the subjects adjusted their strides when blindfolded: their steps got 11 percent shorter and 6 percent wider, and they also lifted their feet 18 percent higher. Bear in mind that this is on a perfectly flat treadmill, so there are no bumps or potholes to avoid: this is just an instinctive response. It's also worth noting that the effect probably isn't just because they're unfamiliar with the challenge of walking while blindfolded: a similar test of blind subjects found that they burned about 25 percent more energy while walking than sighted controls.   Of course, being blindfolded is significantly more disruptive than wearing night goggles, or simply being out at night in poorly lit conditions. That means the size of the effect is probably exaggerated. And walking is different from running. But it seems reasonable to assume that similar mechanisms are at work when you're running in the dark—along with other, more subtle mechanisms like optic flow, which is the pattern of objects flowing through your vision as you move through space.   When you're running or cycling in the dark, you can only see objects that are relatively close to you. That means that they appear in your field of vision only briefly before disappearing behind you, which corresponds to faster optic flow than you'd experience in daylight. A few previous studies, most notably those by Dave Parry and Dominic Micklewright of the University of Essex, have tried manipulating optic flow in virtual reality setups, making the scenery fly past more quickly or slowly than the speed of the treadmill or exercise bike. Sure enough, when optic flow is faster—as you'd experience in dark conditions—you feel like you're moving faster, and any given pace feels harder.   There's an interesting corollary to these findings about optic flow, as Parry explained to Runner's World's Scott Douglas back in 2012. “Running in an environment where most of the visual reference points you can see are close by, you experience a greater sensation of speed than when in an environment where your reference points are far away,” he said. That means running through a forest or through city streets will likely feel faster than running across an open field.   Ever since reading about those optical flow results, I've dismissed the gap between my actual and perceived pace during night runs as a quirk of how my brain estimates effort. During most of my runs, that gap doesn't matter—but if I'm trying to do a tempo run or hard workout before sunrise, the slower pace can be a bummer. So I'll take the new Swedish results as reassurance that night running might really be physiologically harder, not just a brain error—and if that's what it takes to avoid tripping in the dark, I'll accept the trade-off.   What's New in the 303: Costa Rica Leatherback Turtle Conservation Butterfly farm and the Butterfly Pavilion in Broomfield, bats, bugs, In room spiders, centipedes, roaches, beetles, crabs, bats Monkeys (spider, white faced and howler) Cuati and racoon   Bill's updates   Video of the Week: Costa Rica Coast to Coast, Highlights 2022       Closing: Good luck to those racing Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga and Ironman Tulsa this weekend!

Hello Runners! Welcome to 2022! I hope your new year is off to a great start. A few episodes ago, I mentioned that I'm very happy to be out of 2021, It was a year I just assume forget for many personal reasons. But hey, I've started the new year vertical and that is a good thing. I'm on my way to https://www.gohawaii.com/islands/maui (Maui) this week to work on the http://mauimarathon.com (Maui Marathon) course which will be held on April 24th. I'll also be heading up the https://www.mauioceanfrontmarathon.com/ (Maui Oceanfront Marathon's) Cookie run this Thursday and running the 10K this Sunday. It's been almost 2 years since I left Maui and really look forward to returning and seeing many of my friends. And yes, I sure miss Maui but must say I am very happy in Denver. Denver is a vibrant city with an incredible running community. I guess I've adapted. Well, for the first news segment this year, I wanted to provide some great information to get us off to a strong start and get us going with renewed motivation and inspiration. I found a few articles to help us amp up our running technique, build our strength and share some great pointers for those of us setting running goals for 2022. I signed up for the https://www.runrocknroll.com/las-vegas-register?gclid=f3d3ee75f2ad182663b88fabedc30ec5&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=f3d3ee75f2ad182663b88fabedc30ec5 (Las Vegas Half Marathon) next month. I have a goal I'd like to reach and have some major work to do to hit it. If you are a new runner welcome to the wonderful world of running. It could possibly change your life. The easiest way to start running is to just start. It's that simple. Don't overdo it. You will see improvement every time you run. And, if you haven't already, go to a local running store and consult a specialist. They will guide you to the correct running shoes, gear, and you can ask as many running related questions as you like. You will leave the store excited and motivated. And please be sure to consult a physician before you start any new exercise programs. I wish each of you an awesome, healthy, and successful 2022!

#16 The Mind of Skill, Part 2: Endurance—Noel Brick on self-regulation, attention, and cognitive strategies

The present podcast is the second episode in a podcast-series which we have named ‘The Mind of Skill'. As the name indicates, this series investigates the mental dimensions of skill by interviewing a line of current experts.  Besides being of interest in itself, the nature of skill is related to more general questions of human existence. To take some examples, many of the ancient Greek philosophers saw a clear link between virtue and skill: according to them, virtuous individuals who were capable of living well could in some sense also be seen as people who acquired the skill to live. Buddhist teachings also often stress the virtuous and awakened person as a skilful person—skilful in conduct, concentration, and wisdom. In Zen Buddhist practice this is highlighted in activities such as calligraphy, poetry, tea-making, and many other activities requiring a high level of skill. These examples stress that there seems to be a clear connection between skill and the good life. The hope is that this series can clarify some aspects of this connection and perhaps even inspire the listener to explore it.The focus of this particular episode is endurance—and the relations between endurance, skill, and different psychological processes. To introduce us to these exciting relations, the guest of this episode is sports psychologist and lecturer at Ulster University, Dr. Noel Brick. Noel has done research on a great variety of topics concerning the psychological benefits and dynamics involved in both high-level elite and recreational athletes. Among his many interesting publications, a considerable amount of them focus on the cognitive and metacognitive processes that athletes utilise to control their attention and coping mechanisms under performance. The first part of the interview with Noel concerns his own background in both sports psychology and long-distance running. In the second part, the interview concerns different elements in self-regulation of elite athletes and the importance of attention and general cognitive control in such regulation. On the background of this, the third part of the interview discusses the importance of metacognition in controlling such cognitive strategies and enabling performance enhancing attention allocation. At last, the fourth part of the interview ends with some broader considerations on how we all can learn from the psychology of elite athletes and their performance. This part also mentions that Noel, together with Scott Douglas, will release a book on this topic in the summer 2021.  We hope you enjoy the interview!  Host: Victor LangeProduction: Heine VolderMusic: Victor Lange & Heine Volder

I'm delighted to welcome back Dr Noel Brick on this week's episode. This time, Noel is joined by Scott Douglas. Noel is a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Ulster University. He has a Masters in Sport and Exercise Psychology and a PhD in Attentional Focus and Psychological Strategies in Endurance Activity. Scott is a writer and editor in fitness and health and has written 15 books. And it's his latest book, written alongside Noel, that we speak about in this episode. The Genius of Athletes: What World-Class Competitors Know That Can Change Your Life combines cutting-edge science, illustrative stories from the world's top endurance athletes and practical instruction. Elite endurance athletes - including runners, cyclists, and swimmers - know that success hinges as much on how they use their minds as on how well they've trained their bodies. Long before race day, they've developed a rich arsenal of cognitive strategies that they incorporate into their long-term training regimens to unlock peak performance, from effective goal-setting and ingenious habit forming techniques to developing resilience and increasing self-belief. And now a growing body of evidence is showing that these strategies can help the rest of us achieve whatever we set our minds to in sport and life. The Genius of Athletes arms us with proven tools for reaching high and meeting our goals - whether it's running a marathon or any other personal or professional challenge.

It is no surprise that world-class athletes couldn't get to their level without a strong mental game. It could be argued that you need a strong mental game to push beyond your personal limits to a new plateau.  Recent research reveals exactly how they do it - and now we can learn that formula and incorporate it into our athletics and other areas of our lives. Noel Brick, PhD, research phycologist of endurance athletics and Scott Douglas, contributing writer for Runner's World, co-authored the titled book and help us understand how we can learn from these athletes to improve our performance on and off the trail.
