The Running Public

Justin Hamilton joins us again to discuss how exactly he goes about preparing for, training for, and executing an Ultra distance race. We discuss how he prepares his legs for descending all day, night, and day again, his checklist for a successful Backyard Ultra (a ‘last man standing’ style of competition) and his advice for all those racing Ode to Laz this weekend!

Our last round of listener questions was on our birthday week in May, so let’s fire this thing up!!

Mrs Space Cadet is quite possibly the best social media follow for runners who are able to laugh at the absurdity of our daily struggles. Hear how she found running, what motivates her, and why we need to embrace the daily, hilarious struggle of being a non elite athlete!

Our beliefs and best practices of endurance training have changed and evolved over time, and they will continue to do so! But at this moment in time, this is the breakdown of our Six Golden Rules of endurance training.

Mike Stefano, co-host of Obstacle Running Adventures, delivers a fantastic conversation on running, mental health, and his experiences building his business around endurance racing.

This is a three-part episode. One, we share our initial review of the new Tectonic X “trail super shoes” from Hoka. Two, we discuss “when to race your own race and when to race someone else’s race.” Three, we dive deeper down the rabbit hole that Jon Albon opened last week about the usefulness of training in super shoes.

When we last talked to Jon, a little more than a year ago, he was coming off foot surgery and barely able to jog. Last weekend he won the prestigious Marathon du Mont Blanc; arguably the best accomplishment of his entire career. How did he get from there to here? Suppose you’ll have to push Play! 

Mr McIntyre co-hosts a special Training Tuesday all about the training for Hyrox. Well, mostly about training for Hyrox with a small amount of Hunter tangents. Okay, a decent amount of Hyrox with a healthy amount of nonsense. Fine, it’s mostly chit chat, tangents, and nonsense, but there still is some Hyrox training GOLD in there along with a breakdown of his new Hyrox Masterclass training program.

After his basketball career ended, Tim took up running in order to lose weight. 1,636 days later and he still hasn’t missed a run!

Today we picked a few of your really good questions and took our time exploring them completely! Some highlights: Practicing ugly running, smart watch metrics worth paying attention to and distance vs time for Time Trials.
