Running Rogue

In this episode, James and I chat with everyday runner and relatively new half marathoner - Sarah Perry. Sarah sent me a direct message on Instagram with questions about VO2Max and heart rate, and it magically turned into a 1-hour coaching chat with James and I. Plus, we recorded it so that you all could learn from the discussion as well! In this chat, we learn about Sarah's goals for pursuing the marathon one day, and we lay out a blueprint for her to get there while answering her questions along the way. We believe there are many who can relate to Sarah's journey, so we are excited to let you listen in! To redeem the offer from this episode's sponsor use the code ROGUE15 for 15% off at Janji.com.

In this episode, one of my athletes - Nicole Winter from @nicolemruns - interviews me! This was the idea of Nicole and other athletes in my Austin training group (shout out to the Rogue Morning Show!). They put together a list of questions for me ranging from fun, get-to-know-you questions to questions about my running journey and even some questions that brought out the inspirational side of me. I'm not sure why it took over 300 episodes to share some of these things with you, but I am glad Nicole suggested this interview and hope you enjoy getting to know me a little better.

The fall racing season is almost here, and in this episode, we help you answer this fundamental question: should I do a race in preparation for my primary race (aka my "A race")? Thank you to Caroline from the Rogue Renegades for these questions. The short answer is... it's not as simple as you think. For the long answer, tune in for more. In this episode, we answer these questions: What is a prep race? (What are they not?) - How are they different than B races? What is the benefit, why should someone do one? Are there situations when someone shouldn't do one? When is the right time to do one relative to an A-race? What is the right distance beyond just shorter than the A-race? Does course profile matter? Should it be similar/easier than the A-race? Is it raced at full effort? How does one adjust their training schedule for a tune-up race?

In this episode, I replay a live question and answer session that I did with Nicole Winter's followers (@nicolemruns). Nicole is an athlete that I've coached for 2 years, including to her first Boston Qualifier in Eugene in April.

In this episode, we talk about: In-run and pre-run nutrition How it's possible to sustain marathon pace for 26.2 miles if you don't do anything close to that in training Mixing in strength training with your running Minimum mileage levels for marathon training Race pace workouts for your long runs (half or full marathon) And more...
