Episode #23 - 7 Miler

August 6th, 2008

The half marathon training team I’m helping coach has 26 miles scheduled over the course of the week. This is the most weekly mileage we’ll run under the half marathon training program.

I’ve been breaking the weekly mileage into three runs: two during the weekdays and the “long” run on the weekend with the team. In this episode, I talk about my efforts in getting through a 7 miler in the middle of the week. I also talk about how I dealt with encountering some unexpected road kill and running in the deep South.

Episode #22 - “King of Pain”

July 30th, 2008

The music group, The Police, released a song called “King of Pain” on their 1983 album, Synchronicity. While I don’t think the song was about running, I sure felt like the king of pain during my latest training run. In this podcast, I talk about running with pain versus injury and how I deal with it.

Episode #19 - Running Gimmicks

July 9th, 2008

Strange title, I know, but what do you do to get through those tough solo training runs? Unless you run on a treadmill surrounded by four plain white walls, chances are you ‘do’ something while you run. In this podcast, I talk about what I ‘do’ while covering the distance. Perhaps you can relate.
