Running Rogue

In this episode, we cover intro topics that include Desiree Linden leaving Brooks Hansons, a big half marathon PR for Sara Hall, and predictions for the US 10K road championships in Atlanta.  You can listen to the Desiree Linden podcasts referenced here: - Finding Mastery: https://findingmastery.net/des-linden/ - Rich Roll: http://www.richroll.com/podcast/des-linden-375/ Then at 21:20 into the episode, we begin our interview with Tina Muir. Tina Muir is a former elite-level runner who has her own podcast called Running for Real. She is a 2:36 marathoner and previous member of the British team at the World Half Marathon Championships, but her most recent claim to fame is her public discussion of a 9-year struggle with amenorrhea (inability to have periods). She has bravely shined a spotlight on a condition that is not talked about publicly very often. In this podcast, we discuss her ups and downs as an elite runner, dealing with amenorrhea, and her subsequent pregnancy and child birth. Tina is a great interview that holds nothing back. We believe that everyone will relate to her story, men and women. Check out her podcast here: https://tinamuir.com/rfr-podcast/ Read other articles about Tina here: https://tinamuir.com/media/ And here is the link to our next Endorphin Book Club book: https://www.amazon.com/Let-Your-Mind-Run-Thinking/dp/1524760757/        

We start with an intro recap of the US Track & Field Championships, covering who won the prediction contest as well as the surprises and big winners from the weekend. Then, in the 36th minute, we bring Alex Hutchinson in studio with us in Austin to discuss his book Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance as our first book in the Endorphin Book Club. We've also had Alex in episode 48 and 64. In this discussion on Endure, we get to some of the more practical elements of the book and how to make those work in your training. Plus, we press Alex on why he didn't include more direct take-aways in the book, including a few tough questions from listeners. We will announce our next book in episode 82 so stay tuned for the next book to add to your library. 

In this episode starting at 28:15, we interview Jay Dicharry, physical therapist and biomechanics expert, on his 2 books - Running Rewired and Anatomy for Runners. He talks about the importance of understanding your individual strengths and weaknesses in flexibility, mobility, strength and form, and then working to improve your weaknesses. Jay is a wealth of deep knowledge, and any runner should have his books on your reading list.  Info on his books are here: https://anathletesbody.com/my-books/ For our intro this week, we cover some follow-up on our listener questions episode, Mondo Duplantis and his first Diamond League win, and results from the Grandma's Half Marathon and Marathon in Duluth, MN.  You are listen to the referenced Kara podcast here: https://www.nicoledeboom.com/87-kara-goucher-redefines-herself/
