We spend far more time training than we ever will racing. By learning to love the process of improvement in all of its forms, you’ll come to enjoy the journey of training just as much as the outcome. Kenzie Barlow, a sponsored ultra endurance athlete, has finished in the top 10 of races like the Wasatch 100 and the Old Cascadia 100 Miler. She is also a USA Track and Field and Road Runners Club of America certified coach. But Kenzie has also dealt with setbacks and long term health issues, and has had to take time to rediscover her love for the process of training. Kenzie and I talk about how she came to running later in life, and how her path to racing and coaching was something her younger self never could have anticipated.  Kenzie’s outlook on longevity in the sport contains so much wisdom for every runner, including: Her unique introduction to ultrarunning (on the road!) Learning to love being uncomfortable - whether on the trails or in the weight room Finding a balance between intensity and longevity in the sport Coping with her first DNF Rediscovering her identity as runner - on her own terms Developing the skill set to turn a negative into a positive The importance of process-oriented goals Kenzie's enduring love for the sport and her willingness to share her story make for a conversation you won't want to miss.

She makes mental training practical and accessible, and will help you learn: How pre-race intensity levels vary for different types of races  Ways to discover your optimal energy state How elite athletes approach mental training Strategies to get yourself up and calm yourself down before a race Exercises that can help prepare you for race day visualization How “Plan Z” preparation can help prevent you from ever having to use it The minimum effective dose of visualization for race day preparation This is a fascinating discussion that will benefit runners of every level, and can help your approach to other challenging areas in your life.

I’ve had the privilege of working with this week’s guest on the podcast for nearly four years. Thomas Shanabruch came to me as a gifted runner who was looking to push himself to the next level, while staying healthy as a master’s runner. This is the story of the last few years and how he has notched PR after PR in a variety of distances from the 5k to the marathon (but his progression in the marathon is just stunning!). Tom and I discuss a variety of factors that have contributed to his string of PRs, including: Taking your your workouts AND your recovery seriously  The importance of setting bold goals Stepping out of your comfort zone, whether it’s in a 5k or in the weight room How to make time for strength work, day in and day out The importance of mindset - taking the training seriously without it becoming a burden What’s next up for Tom? He’ll be running the Boston Marathon in 2022 and as well as the Berlin Marathon to complete the world marathon majors. Although most of us aren’t as fast as Tom, everyone can learn from his love of running and racing, and his continued commitment to improvement! NOTE: This show is a rerun of episode 233.

This week’s guest has played a pivotal role in the trail running community. Dylan Bowman is an elite ultrarunner, podcast host, and leader and cofounder of Freetrail. He began his athletic career as a competitive lacrosse player, but after college discovered his love for the beauty and community of trail running. Early in his career, Dylan established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the ultra world, with podium finishes at many of the most competitive ultra races including Leadville and Ultra-Trail Mt Fuji. In the last couple of years Dylan has set his sights on a new project - Freetrail - best described as “a community dedicated to the life-changing sport of trail running.” Dylan and I cover a lot of ground in this podcast, from how he became a trail runner to his newest project and vision for the sport. Some of the topics we discuss include: Why making the leap from lacrosse to trail running was not as random as it seems The importance of finding the things in life that light you up How Dylan’s early love of sports radio impacted his current endeavor The parallels between entrepreneurship and running The evolution and direction of the trail running world Why livestreaming is the lynchpin to growth in the sport Dylan's genuine love for his running and business are infectious, and you're sure to enjoy all the twists and turns of our conversation.

Strength training is an essential component of becoming a better athlete. If you’re a runner who’s a newbie in the gym or an experienced weightlifter looking to run more regularly, you can balance your training to make it beneficial, fun and sustainable! This week’s podcast is from a conversation I had with Matt Chittim on the Rambling Runner Podcast. Matt is a runner and a coach, and his enthusiasm and knowledge about the sport has made his podcast enormously popular. We have covered an array of topics in our previous conversations, but this one focuses on one of my favorite topics: strength training. Matt and I talk about some different aspects of strength training in this episode, including roadblocks that keep runners from getting into the gym, and why it’s ok not to optimize every aspect of your training. For more on this topic, get Strength Running's free strength course. Our discussion also includes: The ubiquitous need for strength work, whether you’re a new runner or an elite Why something is always better than nothing when it comes to weight training How obstacle course racing (OCR) has become a “gateway drug” into running Using a blend of the activities you love to keep running fun and sustainable The cautious approach to lifting heavy in the gym My conversations with Matt are always fun, energetic and informative.  Enjoy!

If your job requires unconventional hours, it can be a struggle to find the time to run. But with a little creativity, even runners with challenging schedules can train to improve and reach their goals! This week’s episode features a coaching call with two runners who work unconventional hours. While both have found a way to fit running into their hectic lives, we discuss strategies to help them continue to upgrade their training. As an oncology nurse, Daryl works 12-13 hour shifts 3 days a week, in addition to her commute. She is on her feet for almost all of those hours, continuously working with patients. Tom juggles two jobs with one starting at 3 am, and on 3 days each week he has at most an hour to transition to his next shift. His work is also intensely physical in addition to the long hours. Some of the strategies we touch on include: The importance of dominating your sleep Using cross-training to transition to a higher volume of running The best options for run workouts with limited time Where strength training fits in when you have a physically demanding job Why adding short, additional runs can make you a more durable runner No matter what your schedule, you're bound to learn a lot from this discussion and be inspired by Daryl and Tom's commitment!
