The Running Public

Aerobic Threshold. Anaerobic Threshold. Lactate Threshold. Ventilatory Threshold 1. Ventilatory Threshold 2.  So many threshold terms. So much confusion!   Let’s break it all down!

Kirk raced this weekend, so we begin with the recap before moving into what we all love about training: The Quality Workouts! 

Rich Ryan makes Running Public history with his 4th appearance on the show! As always, he brings a wealth of information for runners and strength athletes alike. Have the notebook ready!

Brakken hobbles to the mic to recap the Tennessee Mile, then the boys break down the Spartan World Championship.

When it comes to knowing the ins and outs of how the human body responds to both endurance and strength training, Alec Blenis is as good as anyone. Grab a pen and pad, and get ready for a few hours of knowledge bombs. 

The Mid Week Long Run, or Medium Long Run, is one of our favorite types of runs. Get pumped to dive into this little rascal! FYI, we start with a chat about Brakken’s upcoming Ultra before breaking down the Spartan World Championship race, also this coming weekend. Skip to 42:10 to get right to the MWLR talk.

Steeplechase national champ, 2:21 marathoner, high school coach, and author Joey Keillor joins the Philosophy of Training series this week. If you’ve ever struggled with underperforming or overtraining, this one is for you!

Long Runs should be a staple of most runners’ programming, but we often let these slide out of use. Let’s refresh to ourselves why they are so important!  We talk a good bit about Brakken’s race, so skip to 30:00 if you want just the Long Run info!

Kirk and Brakken each take on the same questions they’ve been asking other coaches during the past few Philosophy of Training episodes. Let’s see how they hold up under the pressure!

New series alert! We’re getting back to the basics on Tuesdays, focusing on the Fundamental pieces of running. Today we break down the principles of Easy and Recovery runs. They are very simple and very similar, but they are also the run types most often completed incorrectly!
