Running Rogue

In this episode of the Running Rogue podcast, we walk you through the lifecycle of an injury and talk about proactive ways to deal with the physical and emotional stress of an injury, answering questions such as: - How do you know the difference between normal soreness and an injury? - How do you choose a medical provider? - What activities should you be doing while you recover? - How do you deal with the mental demons of an injury? - How do you come back from injury in a smart way? Anyone training consistently will deal with an injury at some point so this episode is for everyone. We hope you don't get hurt, but episode #49 is here if/when you do to help you manage it better and come back more quickly.

In this special edition episode, we give full recaps on Chris's attempt to break the 60 minute barrier at Run for the Water and on the NYC Marathon. We talk about Chris's race, Shalane's win, Meb's final chapter, and more!

We kick off this episode with a rare rant from Chris and then spend the bulk of the episode interviewing Alex Hutchinson on his recent final article with Runner's World - 7 Pillars of Running Wisdom (linked below). We walk through each of those 7 pillars in depth and get more color commentary and additional info from Alex. After earning his PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge, Alex has been writing his Sweat Science blog for 10 years exploring the science behind running. Previously with Runner's World and now with Outside magazine, he continues his pursuit of the truth on the science of sport.

We kick off this episode with a New York City Marathon preview including our predictions for a stacked women's race. We also talk about Meb's final marathon and what to expect on the men's side. Then, John Schrup joins us as we begin a new series discussing the greatest male distance runners of all time including why they might be the greatest and what we can learn from their training methods. We will continue the series in future episodes to discuss the greatest women and US runners of all time. Stay tuned for more from this series.

In this episode of Running Rogue, we share our tips on race strategy for the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon. We've discussed marathon strategy before (in Episode 5), but we haven't covered the other distances. Listen in to learn about to optimize pacing for all those distances in order to run a shiny new PR. The articles we reference: NY Times study: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/11/well/move/what-half-marathons-teach-us-about-running-a-marathon.html?emc=eta1 Article on Aliphine Tuliamuk: http://www.espn.com/espnw/life-style/article/20991883/the-inspiring-story-aliphine-tuliamuk-rise-top-elite-running Article on optimal pacing: https://www.runnersworld.com/racing/learn-to-pace-like-a-pro

As promised in Episode #42 on the One Percents, we cover performance nutrition and sleep with special guest Megan Lyons from the Lyons' Share Wellness in Dallas. Learn why vegetables are so important and whether or not you should carbo load, plus much more. And, by way of introduction, we get a full recap on Chris's first ever road race victory at the Run Free Texas 8K in Austin. Congrats Chris!

We had two Americans on the podium in Chicago this year including the first American-born winner in the men's race in 35 years. Steve and Chris break it all down with this week's Chicago Marathon recap episode. Enjoy!

In this episode, we answer listener questions from Josh in Kentucky, Scott in the UK, and an Austin local. Questions include: "how do I know when I have graduated from being an aerobic baby?" and "what do I do if I've lost motivation and need to find it again?" Plus, in the opener, we discuss drama at the US 10 Mile Championships and 7 pillars of Running Wisdom from Alex Hutchinson in his final Runner's World article.

We open the show talking about the Boston Marathon and the 3:23 buffer now required beneath your qualifying standard in order to actually be able to race. Is that fair? Is there a better way? Steve and Chris sound off. Then, we bring on Karen Rooff, a perinatal fitness specialist, to talk about all things running and pregnancy. She been training pregnant women for 10 years and gives her perspective on running during and after pregnancy. There is lots to learn here for women that are pregnant or perhaps hoping to be soon, but we believe this show is for all men and women who need to understand more about the experience of training with a baby on board.

As promised, Steve and Chris break down the Berlin Marathon on Sunday and give you their thoughts on Kipchoge's great victory and Cherono's marathon resurgence.
