Running Rogue

I am excited to bring you this mid-week mini series over the next 4 weeks with prior show guests Dr. Noah Moos (episode 78) and Rogue Trail guru Jason Brooks (episodes 94 and 105). These episodes will post on Wednesdays in addition to my normal weekly episodes that come on Sundays. In this series, we discuss the beyond-training elements that might impact human performance such as stress, diet, sleep, systemic inflammation, and more. Dr. Moos is a chiropractor by training but practices many eastern medicine concepts in his Austin-based clinic HealthPlus ATX (www.healthplusaustin.com). Jason Brooks is our resident trail guru and leader for our Rogue Virtual (https://www.roguerunning.com/roguevirtual) one-to-one training programs. He is also an admitted nerd on these topics. Naturally, the idea for this series was born on a trail run between Jason and Dr. Moos, and we decided to bring their trail musings to you. Eventually, the idea is to form a spin-off podcast on this topic with the two of them. Here are the topics we will cover in the series: Episode 1: Stress and How It Affects Performance Episode 2: The Model of Degeneration and How Things go Wrong in Your Body Episode 3: Diet/Nutrition and Their Impact on How You Feel Episode 4: Adaptive Healthcare and Coaching. How You Learn and Adapt Your Life and Training Based on Episodes 1-3.

In this episode, I start with a few current event topics including results from the NYC Half Marathon and an update on the Olympic qualifying process from USATF (via www.letsrun.com). Then at 21 minutes in, I turn to an interview with Canadian elite athlete (and 2:32 marathoner) Sasha Gollish. She was in Austin for training to escape the cold winter of Toronto, so I got to join her for a few runs as well as get her in the podcast studio. After she listened to episode #110 (with Christie Aschwanden) and read the book Good to Go (on the science of recovery), Sasha invited me out for our first float pod experiences. We talk all about it to start the interview and then cover a range of topics from her approach to recovery to coaching to lessons from her engineering dissertation for running. Plus, we talk about her Oiselle partnership and everything they do to build community in our sport. You can follow Sasha's journey to make the Olympic Marathon team for Canada at www.sashagollish.com or via her instagram handle @sgollishruns.

In this episode, we bring Alex Hutchinson back on the show to do a deep dive into a smorgasbord of his recent Sweat Science articles. We cover everything from what makes the Nike 4% Vapor Fly shoes work (foam or the carbon fiber plate?) to what we can learn from elites on running form to how to fuel a cross-Antarctica ski expedition. Plus, we get Alex's predictions on Kipchoge vs. Farah coming up at the London Marathon! Alex has also been on episodes 48, 64, 81, and 110 of this show. You can also find all of Alex's Sweat Science articles here: https://www.outsideonline.com/1745511/alex-hutchinson Also check out Alex's book as well if you haven't already... Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance.

In this episode, I break down some running current events from the first half of March including Yomif Kejelcha's indoor mile world record, the Tokyo Marathon, the Road to Gold Olympic Marathon Trials test event in Atlanta, and the release of the new IAAF Olympic Standards for Tokyo 2020. There is a lot happening in the running world, and we aren't even to outdoor reason yet!

In this episode, we jump straight into the interview with Adam Goucher on the book Running with the Buffaloes by Chris Lear. The book chronicles Adam's pursuit of the NCAA Cross Country title in 1998 at the University of Colorado. Adam (aka Mr. Kara Goucher) is a 4 time NCAA champion, Olympian in 5K and has the highest US male finish in World Cross (6th) since 1986. He now runs the business Run the Edge with his friend Tim Catalano. Learn more about Run the Edge and their Run the Year challenge at www.runtheedge.com.

In this episode, I start with a recap of the US Indoor Championships, covering the highlights from the weekend of races including an American Record from 16-year-old Athing Mu. Results can be found here: https://usatf.org/usatf/files/6e/6e186d55-97ae-4660-9205-454d95ab3fd2.htm Then at 15:00 into the episode, James and I begin talking about workout management and how to get the most from your workouts in 3 mini chapters: - Workout purpose and how it can change with small changes in workout structure - Workout routine and how to optimize it for best workout results - Workout management and how to make adjustments in real time based on how you feel You can also hear more from James on episodes 8, 37, and 107!

In this episode, we give you the details on the who, what, when, where, how, and why of getting started with a running program. I am joined by long-time Rogue coach and member Marilyn Faulkner who coaches one of our Couch to 5K programs here in Austin. You can follow Marilyn on instagram at @bumpitupfitness. This episode is for everyone who wants to get started or restart a running program as well as for those who want to help their friends do the same. We promise that running doesn't have to suck if you listen to this episode and follow its principles. I would also encourage you to check out episode #55 with additional insight on this topic.

In this episode, I start with a quick recap on the Millrose Games, discussing the 800m and 1 mile races. Congrats to Ajee Wilson and Donovan Brazier on new US records in the 800m. Also, congrats to my episode 109 guests, Colleen Quigley and Kate Grace on going 2nd and 3rd in the women's mile, with Colleen earning a new PR. Then at 14:30 into the discussion, I start an interview with Kara Goucher and Jean Rigatti. Kara needs no introduction, and Jean is one of my athletes here at Rogue (who was also on episode #38). Jean is overcoming "failure" at her most recent race at the California International Marathon and represents that runner in all of us with failures and mental challenges to overcome. Kara shares her own wisdom and experiences (including her DNF in Houston) to coach Jean through it while also imparting advice on a variety of mental training topics. It's a powerful discussion with lots of practical advice from Kara's book Strong: A Runner's Guide to Boosting Confidence and Becoming the Best Version of You. From the intro, check out Kate Grace's blog on race weight: https://fastk8.com/2019/02/13/race-weight/

In this episode, we jump into an interview with Rogue athlete and coach - Ashley Rollins. She ran a huge personal best at the California International Marathon to secure her first Boston Qualifier, at least she thought she did. Unfortunately, her time won't count in the official results. Listen in to learn more about Ashley and her journey from new runner to running a Boston qualifying time to now being DQ'd for a rules violation in the race. We also bring on Derek Murphy from www.marathoninvestigation.com to discuss the case. This is a cautionary tale about knowing and following the rules, but I believe you will also be inspired by Ashley's journey. You follow Ashley on instagram @swiftrunning.fit or on her blog at www.swiftfit.net.

I am excited to bring you two great athlete interviews this week with Cory McGee and Stephanie Garcia. Thank you to New Balance who brought these athletes to the show in conjunction with their Start a Riot music video and campaign featuring Cory McGee, Stephanie Garcia, Lisanne DeWitt, and Bev Ramos. The campaign is all about featuring the power and energy of strong females, and it's great to see 4 badass female runners elevated in this way. Cory McGee is a world class 1500m runner who has been on two World Championship teams and now trains in Boulder, CO. Stephanie Garcia is a world class steeplechaser who has also made two World Championship teams and now trains in Sacramento, CA. Get to know and be fans of these athletes plus hear what they have learned from winning, losing, and training at the very highest level. Start times for each interview: 5:18 for the Cory McGee interview 54:23 for the Stephanie Garcia interview Start a Riot Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCSrAamqpEA Instagram handles: @corymcgeeruns @steph_steeples @nbrunning

In this episode, we start with a recap of fast times at the Houston Marathon and Half Marathon. Chris makes predictions about what the race means for Emily Sisson's future and pays homage to the career of Kara Goucher. Then starting at 18:50 into the episode, we turn to a fascinating discussion with Christie Aschwanden and Alex Hutchinson on the science of recovery modalities. Christie is a writer for the site www.fivethirtyeight.com and has a new book coming on February 5th called Good to Go, What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Recovery. In this discussion, we breakdown what science tells us about which recovery modalities actually work (from ice baths to massage), while also summarizing the most important elements of recovery in order to be your best running self. For more info on how to purchase Christie's book, go to www.goodtogobook.com. And, of course, buy Alex's book too if you haven't already: Endure, Mind, Boby and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. Alex has also appeared on episodes 48, 64, and 81 of this podcast.

In the intro, we break down the recently announced London and Boston Marathon fields, including perhaps the greatest field ever assembled for a women's marathon. Plus, Chris gives his way too early picks for the wins in both races. Then, at 17:45, episode #67 guest Colleen Quigley comes on to help break the ice with Kate Grace with fun questions about the #BowermanBabes. We get answers to pressing questions such as "which Bowerman Babe is the biggest Bachelor fan?" After that, we turn to an all-encompassing discussion with Kate on her journey from high school soccer player to 800m Olympic Finalist in Rio. Learn about the ups and downs of her journey with lessons that she has learned along the way about life, dreaming big, injury, and much more! And to check out the great quote from Marshawn Lynch, you can watch his interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6hHBcOzz6Q

In this episode, we start with a quick intro to preview Kara Goucher's first marathon in 3 years in Houston and discuss the just-released Olympic Trials course in Atlanta. Then, we turn to an interview with Zach Bitter, US 100-mile Record Holder. He's an ultra-runner by specialty but we cover all topics with him from training periodization to using heart rate to mental training and diet. You will learn how to go long better from this discussion whether you are targeting a half marathon or marathon or ultra-marathon.

Guest hosting with me this week is episode #8 and #37 guest James Dodds. In this one, we riff on 8 tips for staying healthy as a runner in 2019 with a bonus #9 at the end when James introduces the too too rule. As our intro this week, we dig into James's fandom, and he names two of his favorites from the running archives, plus we get a little James philosophy to start things off. Consistency is king in our sport, so listen in and add some of these tips to your routine to keep moving this year!

In this episode, we start with Chris's top 3 running performances for the year for both the US and the world, getting input from our guest Brogan Austin. Who will get the top spot?!? Our guest, Brogan Austin won the US Marathon Championships in Sacramento at CIM for the breakthrough performance he's been waiting for since college. Listen in to learn about his up and down journey and how he made tweaks to his training under his coach Tom Schwartz to find this breakthrough.

In this episode, we continue our series on trail running with special guests Jason Brooks and Paul Terranova, both trail running badasses themselves. To ground our discussion, we discuss the top "failure points" in ultra-marathons and then help give you strategies to address them from blister management to GI distress. You have to be a problem solver on the trail, and it starts with getting educated on the major challenges. Within the discussion, Jason and Paul advise Chris on training for his first ultra next August, the Squamish 50 Miler just north of Vancouver.

We are excited to introduce details on Season 3 of our podcast training group which starts on December 31st. You have until January 18th to join us with 3 training tracks: - Speed development (5K/10K) - Spring half marathon - Spring marathon (including Boston) We encourage you to target races in April and May. Get more details and sign-up here: https://www.roguerunning.com/podcasttraining/

In this episode, Chris leads an interview with Ben Rosario, self-described running nerd and the head coach and director of NAZ Elite. Ben coaches top US marathoners Stephanie Bruce, Kellyn Taylor, Scott Fauble, Scott Smith and others. We start with his take on recent current events in running - the US Marathon Champs at CIM and the US Club XC Champs in Spokane, WA. Ben had athletes competing at both so he talks about their results and his take on the races at the front of each. Then, we turn to other questions including: - What was it like racing in the 2004 Olympic Trials where his Brooks/Hansons teammate Brian Sell made the race with a bold race from the front? - What has he learned from Eliud Kipchoge? - What core training principles drive his team's results? - What are examples of marathon-specific, long-run workouts used by his team? - How does he prepare his athletes for the mental demands of the marathon? - What is he looking for in athletes that join his team? And more... Also, look for more details on the book he mentioned - Inside a Marathon - here: https://www.nazelite.com/inside-a-marathon/.

In this episode, we interview two Rogue athletes from Austin who run different paces but are on the same journey. They both ran personal records at CIM a few weeks ago, and we highlight them here to show that pace doesn't matter. It's the work that you do and the journey you are on that matters. Jessie Barnes (@thejessiest on instagram) entered this CIM cycle with a 4:57 marathon PR and went on to smash it by 30+ minutes on race day to run 4:27. Cate Barrett (@beingcate on instagram) came in with a 2:54 marathon PR seeking an Olympic Trials qualifier. She got it done with an 11-minute PR to run 2:43 at CIM and secure who spot in Atlanta in 2020. Both ladies are badasses in their own right and we share their stories here to show how similar we are regardless of pace! Congrats to Jessie and Cate!

Thanks to Reebok, we are excited to welcome NCAA-10K-champion and recently-turned-pro Ben Flanagan to the podcast. We start with an intro talking about him as a fan in the sport. Which athletes would he livestream to watch race? Who is he excited to compete against? As a track athlete, what does he think of a marathoner like Eliud Kipchoge? Then, we turn to Ben as a runner and particularly dig in on his breakthrough performance at NCAAs. As an underdog, where did he find the belief that he could win? How did overcome injury to get there? What was he thinking during the race? And, how does this all apply to the every day runner? If you are looking for a breakthrough in your own running, then we believe this interview is full of knowledge bombs for the new Reebok athlete.

In our intro we discuss the Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving and give our picks for the US Marathon Championships in Sacramento this weekend. Then, starting at 35 minutes, we break down all things CIM from the course to pacing strategy. We will have 215 Rogues competing in Sacramento this weekend. Good luck to all who are racing!

For this episode, episode 100 (!), we do something a little bit different and simply offer up a verbal love letter to the sport, to you as audience members, to our podcast group, and to the Rogue community. Listen to our thank yous and shout-outs to those who inspire us to do what we do. Plus, we give a preview of what's coming for episode 101 and beyond! Thank you all for listening and inspiring us!

In this episode, we start with our takeaways from an amazing race in New York. What do we think of Keitany's performance? Who had the breakthrough results? What does this mean for Shalane? And, does this make us more or less excited about men's marathoning in the US. Then, at 42 minutes in, we start discussing how to construct a transition or maintenance plan between event-specific cycles. What do you do with your mileage? How do you manage workouts? Should you jump into some "fun" races? And, what should you do mentally during this time.

We break it all down including details on our live call on Sunday morning and where you can hear us talk about the action. Plus, we had media credentials this year and have insights from the press conferences from the American elites! Get ready for Sunday at 9 am EST.

In the intro this week, we cover: - Galen Rupp's Achilles surgery and what it means for his future. - Kenenisa Bekele's DNF in Amsterdam - Big results from the Toronto Marathon including a new Canadian record Then at 39 minutes, we turn to our main topic to discuss how to optimize your race strategy at NYC. This episode is for NYC marathoners as well as though who are interested in the nuances of race planning.

In this episode, we interview Mallory Brooks to discuss her experiment with building her aerobic foundation via the Maffetone Method, a heart-rate based protocol developed by famous chiropractor and triathlon coach Phil Maffetone. Plus, we discuss her approach to improving her fat adaptation via carbohydrate management as well. By way of intro, we discuss the 50th anniversary of Bob Beamon's 29-foot world record leap, Allie Kiefer's win at the Staten Island half, Donovan Brazier to the Nike Oregon Project and more.

For our intro this week, we talk about the results from the Chicago Marathon and the US Champs 10-Miler. Hear Chris eat some crow regarding Mo Farah and why he and Steve think that Molly Huddle getting beat at 10 miles might be good for her next marathon. Plus, we discuss Desiree Linden's new coach and what that means for her NYC Marathon prospects. Then, at 38:05, we turn to a discussion on how to digest the lessons from your last race whether you hit your goal or not. Win or lose, PR or not, there are lessons to remember that will help you keeping rolling into your next training cycle.

With this episode, we jump straight into talking about the new Boston qualifying standards and how you should think about training to achieve them. Boston is a worthy goal, and the stakes have now been raised, but you are ready to achieve that goal if you up your game. Get all the tips on that from Steve and Chris.

The Chicago Marathon goes off on Sunday at 8:30 am EST on NBC Sports. Listen in for our breakdown of the field with predictions. Can Rupp repeat in Chicago? Will he set the American Record? How will Gwen Jorgensen perform in her first marathon under Schumacher? We give you thoughts on all of these questions and more!

In this episode, we dive straight into our topic. Yep, no intro topics this week, just great content on training for trail running. Jason Brooks, one of the Rogue trail coaches, joins us this week on the podcast to talk about how to train for ultras on the trail. We cover: - The case for trail running. Why do it or try it? - Trail training principles. How do road training and trail training compare and contrast? - Trail training skills. What specific skills to you need to think about for the trail? Listen in and then go for a trail run to mix things up!

In this episode, we break down all that is the Berlin Marathon including our takes on the amazing WR result from Kipchoge + a recap of the women's race and how its magnificence went under the radar. We then follow with a discussion of Sifan Hassan's debut half marathon and what it means for Chicago now that Jordan Hasay and Amy Hastings Cragg have dropped out of the race. Then, at 58 minutes in, we start a discussion on fall racing, giving our final tips to those who might be racing marathons or half marathons this season. We give you our words on how to prepare for a goal-smashing result in the next several weeks.

In the intro to this one, we talk about Jenny Simpson's 6th straight win at the Fifth Avenue Mile (with a challenge from Colleen Quigley), Mo Farah's result at the Great North Run, and Emma Coburn's controversial comments about the new steeple WR. Then, at 26:10 into the episode, we start our 5th round of answers to your listener questions. In this episode, we give answers to: - What to look for in a coach? - How to learn to sustain 5K race pace for a full 5K? - How to think about prep races? - How did Rogue get its start? And more...

The Berlin Marathon is coming up THIS Sunday, Sept 16th, and we give you all of the info you need to watch as a fan, plus predictions as always. Also in this episode, we introduce a new voice to the podcast - Johanna Gretschel (@jojo_shea on Twitter). Johanna is a freelance sports/running journalist who used to work with FloTrack. She knows her stuff and jumps right in with our banter to share predictions of her own. Follow along with the race on Sunday to see if the favorites Kipchoge and Dibaba will win and if world records will fall in either race. For more from Johanna, here are the links we referenced from her Jordan Hasay interview: https://www.flotrack.org/articles/6235943-why-chicago-could-be-jordan-hasays-best-race-yet http://running.competitor.com/2018/07/news/interview-jordan-hasay-back-ready-chicago_174102

In the intro this week, we talk about the addition of Gwen Jorgensen to the Chicago Marathon field, the results of the US 20K championship, and Colleen Quigley's latest results from Europe. Then at 23:20 into the episode, we shift to the final part of our series on "What does the race require?" This time we talk about the marathon including answers to questions like: - How many 20 milers should you do? - How should you add pace work to your long runs? - What should your workouts look like? And more... tune in to find out how to PR in your next 26.2.

Here we go with Round 2 of our call of the Diamond League finals, this time as we watch the finals in Brussels. Featured in this episode are the WSteeple, W1500, M800, and M5000.

We are mixing things up this week and providing 2 episodes where we preview each Diamond League middle distance and distance event, make predictions, and then give you our reactions as the races go off live. In this first part, we will discuss the Diamond League Finals in Zurich on Thursday, August 30th. Events include the W800, M1500, MSteeple, and W5000. Listen and just enjoy being a fan!

For the intro this week, we cover new additions to the NYC Marathon field, the historic Falmouth Road Race, and some way-too-early predictions for the US Women's Steeple in 2019. Do 1500 PRs mean anything for the race between Emma Coburn, Colleen Quigley, and Courtney Frerichs? If so, Colleen might just have a leg up if she can stay healthy. Then at 23 minutes into this episode, we continue our series on "What Does the Race Require?", this week covering the 10K and Half Marathon distances. We argue that getting ready for a fast 10K will also get you ready for a fast half marathon with some tweaks to the program. Listen in and go train for a big PR.

As our intro, we talk about amazing performances from two inspiring teenagers at the European Championships, including how one of Steve's early-year predictions came true. Then, we turn to part 2 of our series on "What Does the Race Require," this time covering the 5K distance with an intro to our discussion on the 10K and half marathon that will come in part 3. Links from the episode: Mondo Duplantis's European Gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkgGZjfmpQ Jakob Ingebrigtsen European Gold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w5LfaWl5TU Alex Hutchinson's article on running form and relative "speed:" https://www.outsideonline.com/2332596/hobbyjogger-running-study-accelerometer-injury

It's episode #2 in our Endorphin Book Club series! We start with a breakdown on 3 intro topics including the Sir Walter Miler, the Beach to Beacon 10K, and the newly announced elite fields for the Chicago Marathon. Does Steve think Jordan Hasay has a chance at the American Record, held currently by none other than Deena Kastor herself? Then at 37:55 into the episode, we turn to our interview with Deena Kastor to discuss her new memoir - Let Your Mind Run. Deena talks about her years in Alamosa, how she feels about her Olympic Bronze medal, her proudest race (hint: it wasn't the marathon in Athens), how running translates to life and so much more. If you weren't a fan of Deena before, then you will be now.

We start this episode with a discussion on the 2020 Olympic Trials including the newly announced venue for them and LetsRun.com's way-too-early Trials podium pics which you can see here: Men's predictions from LetsRun.com: http://www.letsrun.com/news/2018/07/two-years-tokyo-tell-u-s-mens-distance-runners-will-2020-olympic-team/ Women's predictions from LetsRun.com: http://www.letsrun.com/news/2018/08/cancel-trials-u-s-womens-distance-runners-will-going-2020-olympics/ Then, at 31:25 into the episode, we begin a series on "What does the race require?" In this series, we break down how training for various race distances from 800m to the marathon are similar and unique.

In the intro, we talk about all things European track including Shelby Houlihan's new 5K American Record. We also address speculation that Shelby Houlihan might be doping. Do we believe in her or not? And should you? Here is the Runner's World article that we reference in the discussion: https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a22520474/shelby-houlihan-is-on-a-hot-streak/ Then 24 minutes into the recording, we begin playing a series of out-takes from our Podcast Training Group Content. We provide that group of over 100 athletes with a 30-minute weekly podcast that includes how to execute the workout on the schedule as well as weekly tips. We thought you might like to keep a peak behind the curtain and hear some fun conversations with Steve and Chris on various training topics.

The epic Women's Steeple from Monaco happened to be on when we were recording our introduction to episode #84. So, we kept the microphones on and recorded our "live" reactions. Our video feeds were staggered from each other's so it's a very rough out-take, but we thought people might enjoy this "behind the scenes" audio of Steve and I watching a race together. We've discussed trying to live call other races in a similar fashion to what we did with the Boston Marathon. Email us if you would like to see more of that from us!

In our intro, we get answers to critical questions such as: "What did Steve and Chris link of the Women's Steeple race in Monaco?" Hint: Wow. "Did Des Linden listen to and respond directly to one of Steve's running rants?" Hint: Definitely not, but she disagrees with Steve on at least one thing. "What kind of listeners are we hoping to speak to?" Hint: It's not about your weekly mileage. Then at 28:15 into the podcast, we start our interview with guest Marielle Hall. Marielle is a former athlete of Steve's from the University of Texas, now badass Bowerman Babe and Olympian from Rio in the 10,000m. Marielle shares great insights on the mental side of the sport including how she has dealt with ups and downs in her career, what she thinks about to deal with race pressure, and what she does to stay motivated. Listen in and be a fan of Marielle!

By way of intro this week, Chris gets to brag about his spot-on Peachtree picks, and then we talk about why it's time to jump on the Shelby Houlihan bandwagon if you can catch it. Plus, we share this sobering blog from Tianna Bartoletta (Olympic long jump gold medalist) on the state of the sport and her worth in it: https://www.theycallmetb.com/blog/2018/7/10/a-foreign-currency At 31:42, we get to our main interview, listener Mary Margaret from episode #79 fame. In that episode, Chris and Steve guaranteed a sub 4 result at the Twin Cities Marathon if she follows our training principles, mainly slowing down on those long runs. With Mary Margaret, we go over her online training program and provide tips/guidance for how to modify to get optimal results. We think this episode provides practical examples for anyone who might be training on their own or following a generic online plan. Enjoy!

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/

The US Track Champs are going off this weekend. This episode has our previews and predictions. Tune in this weekend to see how it all plays out! The 10K kicks things off on Thursday night on NBC Sports Gold. Then, the meet will be broadcast on NBC live on Saturday and Sunday from 3-5 pm CST. Start lists: http://www.usatf.org/Events---Calendar/2018/USATF-Outdoor-Championships/Status-of-Entries.aspx Meet schedule: http://www.usatf.org/Events---Calendar/2018/USATF-Outdoor-Championships/Schedule.aspx Who will win?!?

We have a lot to cover with our intro this week as we talk about the Comrades Marathon, Rupp v. Farah at the Chicago Marathon, the latest on Asbel Kiprop and his doping defense, and the NCAA Championships. You can see the links we reference here: - Asbel Kiprop statement: https://www.facebook.com/asbel.kiprop/posts/1881183131913874 - Replay of USC 4 x 400 win: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9XUf0FGCTs Then at 35:55 into the episode, we turn to Round 4 of listener questions, which includes answers to these questions and more: - How do I trust your recommendation on a "slow" long run pace? - How do I recover from a stress fracture? - What about intermittent fasting? Plus, we give a listener a guarantee with money involved. Don't miss it!

In our intro for this episode, we discuss Emma Coburn's first steeple races of the season at Rome and Oslo and check-in on Chris's prediction that she would be beaten by an American this year. Then, we discuss the impending demolition of Hayward Field and the ongoing attempts to Save Hayward against the wishes of even Nike's Phil Knight who will be funding the project. Then at 29:50, we bring on Dr. Noah Moos. He is a chiropractor by formal training but has also been trained in a wide range of integrative and alternative medical techniques. We affectionately call him the Witch Doctor. He talks about everything from the mind-body connection to keeping those muscles firing to common supplements for runners. If you are looking for him in Austin, check out his practice at www.healthplusaustin.com and his new supplement business at www.thehumannutritionproject.com.
