The Running Public

Derek Rubis is the single biggest fan of running the sport has ever seen. He has been the entire running community’s most faithful supporter for the past 20+ years and it is time to return the favor. Please listen to this episode. Please share it with your running friends. And please consider becoming part of Derek’s journey in your own way!

I don’t want to overthink my training. I don’t want to mess with the hassle of periodizing my workouts. I don’t want to go all in with major training blocks that focus on one specific race. I just want to feel good, look good, improve as a runner, and be ready to jump into just about any competition that interests me.  How should I set up my training?? We’re glad you asked!

Two episodes ago we told an athlete not to give up on the sport too soon. That athlete reached out to us and we interviewed him today! 

What race to choose. When to pull the plug on a race. What race series fits my skillset? How long do I have before I start to succumb to father time? The decisions never stop, so how do you work your way through them?

We have an open mic and a backlog of listener questions, so let’s do this thing! Brakken tries to fight through training induced brain fog while also showing off his impressively bad math skills.

You’re one month out from race day and you’re not quite where you want to be, fitness-wise. What to do? We got you!

In his first episode, Nick was in the middle of the lowest point of his life due to medical issues. In Part 2, he discusses his re-emergence in the competitive race field and his improved mental game!

Kirk took down a course record this weekend while Brakken chased some nostalgia. They also answer some of your top recent, and not so recent, questions.

Get ready to laugh, cry, cringe, and learn! This is an all time episode with ultra endurance athlete Justin Hamilton, and we’re not going to spoil the story by giving a preview. Enjoy!

We’ve been receiving lots of requests for an episode describing how to approach each obstacle at a Spartan Race, so here it is! Come for the nerdy OCR talk, stay for the Bachelor in Paradise talk!
