Running Rogue

In the intro to this one, we talk about Jenny Simpson's 6th straight win at the Fifth Avenue Mile (with a challenge from Colleen Quigley), Mo Farah's result at the Great North Run, and Emma Coburn's controversial comments about the new steeple WR. Then, at 26:10 into the episode, we start our 5th round of answers to your listener questions. In this episode, we give answers to: - What to look for in a coach? - How to learn to sustain 5K race pace for a full 5K? - How to think about prep races? - How did Rogue get its start? And more...

The Berlin Marathon is coming up THIS Sunday, Sept 16th, and we give you all of the info you need to watch as a fan, plus predictions as always. Also in this episode, we introduce a new voice to the podcast - Johanna Gretschel (@jojo_shea on Twitter). Johanna is a freelance sports/running journalist who used to work with FloTrack. She knows her stuff and jumps right in with our banter to share predictions of her own. Follow along with the race on Sunday to see if the favorites Kipchoge and Dibaba will win and if world records will fall in either race. For more from Johanna, here are the links we referenced from her Jordan Hasay interview: https://www.flotrack.org/articles/6235943-why-chicago-could-be-jordan-hasays-best-race-yet http://running.competitor.com/2018/07/news/interview-jordan-hasay-back-ready-chicago_174102

In the intro this week, we talk about the addition of Gwen Jorgensen to the Chicago Marathon field, the results of the US 20K championship, and Colleen Quigley's latest results from Europe. Then at 23:20 into the episode, we shift to the final part of our series on "What does the race require?" This time we talk about the marathon including answers to questions like: - How many 20 milers should you do? - How should you add pace work to your long runs? - What should your workouts look like? And more... tune in to find out how to PR in your next 26.2.

Here we go with Round 2 of our call of the Diamond League finals, this time as we watch the finals in Brussels. Featured in this episode are the WSteeple, W1500, M800, and M5000.

We are mixing things up this week and providing 2 episodes where we preview each Diamond League middle distance and distance event, make predictions, and then give you our reactions as the races go off live. In this first part, we will discuss the Diamond League Finals in Zurich on Thursday, August 30th. Events include the W800, M1500, MSteeple, and W5000. Listen and just enjoy being a fan!

For the intro this week, we cover new additions to the NYC Marathon field, the historic Falmouth Road Race, and some way-too-early predictions for the US Women's Steeple in 2019. Do 1500 PRs mean anything for the race between Emma Coburn, Colleen Quigley, and Courtney Frerichs? If so, Colleen might just have a leg up if she can stay healthy. Then at 23 minutes into this episode, we continue our series on "What Does the Race Require?", this week covering the 10K and Half Marathon distances. We argue that getting ready for a fast 10K will also get you ready for a fast half marathon with some tweaks to the program. Listen in and go train for a big PR.

As our intro, we talk about amazing performances from two inspiring teenagers at the European Championships, including how one of Steve's early-year predictions came true. Then, we turn to part 2 of our series on "What Does the Race Require," this time covering the 5K distance with an intro to our discussion on the 10K and half marathon that will come in part 3.

It's episode #2 in our Endorphin Book Club series! We start with a breakdown on 3 intro topics including the Sir Walter Miler, the Beach to Beacon 10K, and the newly announced elite fields for the Chicago Marathon. Does Steve think Jordan Hasay has a chance at the American Record, held currently by none other than Deena Kastor herself? Then at 37:55 into the episode, we turn to our interview with Deena Kastor to discuss her new memoir - Let Your Mind Run. Deena talks about her years in Alamosa, how she feels about her Olympic Bronze medal, her proudest race (hint: it wasn't the marathon in Athens), how running translates to life and so much more. If you weren't a fan of Deena before, then you will be now.

We start this episode with a discussion on the 2020 Olympic Trials including the newly announced venue for them and LetsRun.com's way-too-early Trials podium pics which you can see here: Men's predictions from LetsRun.com: http://www.letsrun.com/news/2018/07/two-years-tokyo-tell-u-s-mens-distance-runners-will-2020-olympic-team/ Women's predictions from LetsRun.com: http://www.letsrun.com/news/2018/08/cancel-trials-u-s-womens-distance-runners-will-going-2020-olympics/ Then, at 31:25 into the episode, we begin a series on "What does the race require?" In this series, we break down how training for various race distances from 800m to the marathon are similar and unique.

In the intro, we talk about all things European track including Shelby Houlihan's new 5K American Record. We also address speculation that Shelby Houlihan might be doping. Do we believe in her or not? And should you? Here is the Runner's World article that we reference in the discussion: https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a22520474/shelby-houlihan-is-on-a-hot-streak/ Then 24 minutes into the recording, we begin playing a series of out-takes from our Podcast Training Group Content. We provide that group of over 100 athletes with a 30-minute weekly podcast that includes how to execute the workout on the schedule as well as weekly tips. We thought you might like to keep a peak behind the curtain and hear some fun conversations with Steve and Chris on various training topics.
