The Running Public

The classic form of interval training uses standing, walking, or slow jogging as the rest period following a hard/fast interval. There is an alternative means of conducting your “rest” during an interval workout and that is what we explore today!

Our last episode was aimed towards the athlete who realizes they will never be “fast”. One of our listeners who fit that description realized that we totally missed the mark with other direction we took things. Today, she joins us for an unscripted conversation about what it really means to her. This was one of our best chats. Enjoy!

As much as we like to talk about optimizing race performances, there is a whole sect of the population who will never be considered fast and who don’t really have any desire to be fast. That’s not why they run. So how do you approach running if your goal doesn’t have anything to do with speed?

This is NOT an informative Q&A. This will give no amount of running knowledge. It is probably our most ridiculous episode to date, or at least our most random. But, the questions all came from listeners so we can’t be held responsible!

We both started as track/cross country coaches. Then we found OCR and trail running. How has that impacted and changed our philosophy and understanding of run coaching?

What better way to begin our New Year’s push towards improving ourselves than to listen to a man who quit training, lost his love for the sport, lost his fitness, and then began the long road back to an eventual world championship. 

Last episode was about theory. Today is about action. We walk through how to put it all into action.

As the new year approaches, people everywhere scramble to refocus their lives. Far too often, they concentrate on flashy goals while failing to acknowledge the root causes of past failings. Let’s all avoid that this year!  We also clean out the few remaining listener questions from 2022!

AKA, why running is just like marriage. People expect linear progression, which isn’t possible. Here is how it REALLY works!

As we come to the end of a fantastic 2022, we’re taking the opportunity to answer as many of your questions as possible! You all sent some pretty great ones this time around!
