RRT 121: Danny "Champion of the World" Bent | Danny Bent definitely has a life less usual! Trekking to the South Pole, bog snorkening, stair climbing racing in skyscrapers all seem tame after Danny's 9000 mile cycle ride from London to Southern India to help his students understand geography. Now he’s trying to inspire more people in a UK-based international fundraising initiative - Oneoneoneone, that will raise over £1million for people living with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS around the globe, through the established charity Keep a Child Alive. Danny's also written a book, ‘You’ve gone too far this time Sir’? [Buy from ActionAid - half profit goes to charity @ http://act.ai/dannybent or on http://amazon.com for £9.99 however the special Kindle verson looks to be on offer at just 72p!] about his decision to raise money for charity and his adventures along his journey. Steve Chopper, host of Run World Radio, was joined by @Drusy (Toni), @Devoniain (Iain), @clewsy (Colin), @solshadow (Phil of Runcast.tv) and Roberto from Madrid, Spain as we chatted with Danny about his antics and charity goals.

RRT 118: Running Injuries - Racing, Training and Recovering | We are back with a show to discuss Running Injuries. Take a listen and plan to join us for a future show. My apologies for the few technical issues, it's been a while :-). So join Mark Ulrich, Joe Garland, Tim Kirchner, Craig MacFarlane and Mike Westermeier for a discussion that will cover a lot of different tangents of running injuries. We discussed continuing to run after an injury, when to see a Doctor, what happens if you try to run through an injury and various ways to recover from an injury. You will hear about torn ligaments and cartilage, stress fractures, muscle pulls and tears, sprains, strains as well as the normal overuse injuries like ITB syndrome, plantar fasciitis and probably a few more. Have you ever had an injury? Have you ever tried to run through it? Were you successful? Has part of your decision been based on that you signed up for a race and had to do it? Could it be that you have a streak going so you just have to run the event?If you want some additional information check out Mark's recent post: Running Injuries - Treatment and Prevention.

RRT 117: Extreme Marathons (and Beyond!) | According to most standards running a road marathon is pretty extreme, yet some people need a different sort of challenge. A whole host of extreme races has sprung up to meet to this need, from ultramarathons to marathons held in challenging locations. Join us on April 20th, as several runners who have tackled one (or more!) of these extreme events discuss the rise in popularity of these events, what drives them personally, and what future holds. How extreme will the sport get? The discussion will be led by Kiersten Pfeifer (http://26for25.blogspot.com/) and feature Dan McKenna who just completed the Atacama Crossing, a seven-day, six-stage, 150-mile endurance footrace across the Atacama Desert of Chile ( Conquer Atacama St. Baldrick’s Page and Conquer Atacama Facebook Page.), Phil Moneypenny who ran the first solo Marathon at the Halley base on the Brunt Ice Shelf, and Paul Both who completed a Transcontinental run from Huntington Beach, CA to the Statue of Liberty in New York (http://www.runforliberty.com) Click here to listen to RRT 117 | 4/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT 116: New Boston Qualifying Standards, March 2nd, 7pm EST | This past October, registration for the 2011 Boston Marathon filled in 8 hours, shutting out many qualified runners. A few weeks ago, the Boston Athletic Association (which manages the world's oldest continuous marathon), announced a new registration policy for the 2012 race and new standards starting in 2013. The reaction from the running community has been big! Some are pleased with the changes, while others point out the major flaws in the policies. Join us on Wednesday, March 2nd at 7pm EST to discuss these changes and how they impact the entire running community. The discussion will be lead by Amanda Lanza (http://chemerunner.blogspot.com/), Mark Ulrich (http://www.runinamerica.com/), Joe Garland (https://runwestchester.wordpress.com/), & Craig Macfarlane but more are always welcome. Let us know what you think about these new standards! [Click here to listen to RRT-116] | 3/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT 115: Running Form, Wed., Feb. 23 @ 8 EST | Listen to Episode 115 It wasn't so long ago that we had a show on Running Form. We thought we'd revisit the issue because it continues to get almost daily attention in the blogosphere. We'll have Pete Larson and Steve Magness (recently hired by the Oregon Track Club) on again and talk about developments since our last appearance. Joining us too will be Ian Adamson, Newton Running's Director of Research and Education. Pete interviewed Ian in December 2009. Pete just posted about Stride Cadence -- you may recall from our initial show that the consensus was that this is an important aspect of form -- and he discusses a number of recent pieces, including one by Steve, on this very topic. Pete also attended a conference in West Virginia last month and posted a series of pieces:A Natural Running CommunityNew Trends in Prevention and TreatmentGait Re-TrainingVertical Impact Load-RatesVertical Impact Load-Rates II In that last one, Pete sends you to a nice post by Jay Dicharry on the topic. It's a complex yet simple process, this running. With a discussion of a bit more of the science, we hope to provide a bit of clarity. Now for those discouraged by reading that Pete's shuffling-along rate is 186, one of our hosts (Joe Garland) can't break 170 and Steve's is 168 (getting north of 192 at his tempo pace). Mark Ulrich, Craig Macfarlane, and Joe Garland will share hosting duties. | 2/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT 113: Mid-Winter Motivation | We're at the midpoint of this winter season, and for some, it's been a long season already, especially if you live in the northern US. The groundhog didn't see his shadow today, so maybe spring is on its way...... For some runners, this is the time when their motivation falters, when their enthusiasm for our sport succumbs to the darkness and cold of this season, and the winter is only half over. For others though, this is a great time to be on the roads, with crisp fresh air in the North, and tolerable temperatures in the South. For these runners, motivation is just kicking in, Spring is coming, and winter is already half over. Listen in to this discussion of getting started on those winter days (and nights), the right gear to help you succeed in less-than-perfect conditions, and how to beat those winter blues.

RRT 111: Eating Disorders and Exercise Addictions | As runners, we're always looking for ways to gain a competitive advantage. Whether it's shedding those last few pounds of extra body fat or hitting triple digits on a regular basis, we tend to be a driven, determined lot. But how do runners know when they've tipped over the edge and moved from healthy training- and eating-patterns to unhealthy ones? What causes these disorders? How are they typically treated and what's the outlook for those who are recovering from these issues? What can be done to prevent them from developing in the first place? We discussed these topics with three runners who have been there:Lize Brittin is hostess of the recently revived blog Training on Empty (and author of an as-yet-unpublished memoir of the same title). Lize was a top high school and national-class mountain runner in Colorado in the 1980s, having set the Pike's Peak Marathon ascent record at just 16 -- despite battling severe eating and exercise disorder issues at the time.Dave Dunham currently competes for the Central Massachusetts Striders. Something of a Renaissance Man, in addition to road running Dave also competes in ultras, trail/mountain runs and on snowshoes. Among other distinctions, Dave is a two-time qualifier for US Olympic Marathon Trials and seven-time member of the US Mountain Running team. While in his thirties, Dave struggled with anorexia, reaching 110 lbs on a 5'7" frame. He blogs at DDMountainRunrDiane Israel, 1984 Colorado mountain-running champion, was a successful professional triathlete and runner for 15 years. She is also a recovering anorexic. Her film, Beauty Mark: Body Image and the Race for Perfection, examines how images from popular culture, familial influence and the drive for athletic perfection can all collide, resulting in dangerously disordered thinking and behavior.Hosted by Julie Threlkeld -- RacesLikeAGirl and Running Times contributor -- for this show.

RRT 110: 1/5, 8pm EST: To Sleep, Perchance To Dream | On Wednesday, January 5 we spoke about the importance of recovery in any training plan. Training is all about (1) Stress, (2) Recovery, (3) Repeat. The importance of giving the body a chance to adapt to the stresses under which it is placed. And about how necessary it is for each of us to learn what our body needs on this front, and to listen to our bodies. On board were Brenn, Craig, Mark, Mike, and TK, with Joe Garland as the host. Our friend Flo put up a timely post on the taking-time-off issue, which is worth a read. Listen to Episode 110 | 1/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT 106: Training Basics | A fun show. On training. With Steve Magness, Paul Butler, Julie Threlkeld, and Russ Porter. Hosted by Joe Garland. Now that the racing season is just about up (and good luck to those with target races, such as Philly, still to come), we thought it would be a good time to step back and think about, and discuss, training approaches as we look to 2011. Do you get a book? Do you get a coach? Do you rely on a higher authority? What's worked for you, and what hasn't? Are you ready to take it to a higher level and build on what you've done already? Listen to RRT 106 There comes a time in a runner’s career when she decides that just going our for runs every day, or every other day, is not getting her where she wants to go. Sure, literally, but we’re talking bigger picture. We thought it’d be worthwhile to give an overview of what you might consider in taing that (figurative) next stop, i.e., to pick a training program. When I’m asked about training approaches, I suggest that people pick up a copy of Daniels’ Running Formula. I do this not to necessarily endorse Daniels’s approach but to have people read through the background section on physiology and the various systems that need to be stressed for improvement. Speed, distance. Tempos, repeats. MP runs, progression runs. Daniels is also a proponent of periodization. In broad strokes, you break down the year into two 6-month periods and divide those periods up into quarters, and train differently throughout, building to a target race. I am most familiar with Daniels, but have had exposure to other books, which have similar approaches (e.g., Pfitz/Douglas). I’m interested in hearing what other approaches are out there (e.g., Higdon, Hudson, FIRST). We talked about sources for gaining insight on training. As an example, Steve Magness, who was on the show, just published something quite nice in Running Times concerning stress, and its usefulness. I’m not a fan of articles about the-best-workout-you’ll-do-for-a-5K/10K/Marathon/whatever-PR, but I find useful insights in things like Steve’s piece and other recent articles that focus on an aspect of training. For example, there was a good recent piece about Kim Smith about associating with (as opposed to disassociating from) pain and discomfort during training. I also found an interesting piece by John Kellogg about training for older runners. Again, things that get filed away in my brain as a way to personalize my own training. That said, I will be speaking about turning yourself over to a coach. In fact, one reason for putting off the show was that I was meeting with a potential coach, who I have since decided to hire. Her thoughts are similar to mine with her own little tweaks. Plus it helps with structuring my training. | 12/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT 108a: Karaoke, Joe Garland and the Imeldas | After a bit of trouble with the original Open Mike show, we reconvened and did a second one, episode 108a. We talk about recent episodes about the heart and form and nutrition. We ended up peaking into one anothers' closets and discovered lots and lots of shoes. We had Westy's Running in the chatroom and Mark U, Craig J., and Paul on the line with host Joe Garland. Mark U adds: During the show, there was a brief discussion of the down-side to taking anti-oxidants while training. Lo and behold today's post in the excellent Sweat Science blog addresses exactly that point. Recommended read: Antioxidants block gains from endurance training.

RRT 107: Nutrition Discussion with Nancy Clark | What are the key elements of appropriate nutrition for active runners and athletes? Recognizing that many runners' prime motivation is their desire to maintain or lose weight, how do they do so without impairing their health or their athletic ability? What are the key guidelines in properly tapering before a race? Do runners' nutritional requirements vary by gender, with the extent of exertion and/or age? During a race how should a runner optimally fuel and hydrate? We discussed most of these nutrition-related questions, and many others in this episode of the Runners Round Table, which featured special guest Nancy Clark, internationally known sports nutritionist. The show was hosted by Mark Ulrich, Toni Harvey, Colin Hayes, Craig Macfarlane, and Margaret Suddeth. Nancy answered all of our questions, and in the wrap-up section encouraged us to find a sports-dietitian via http://scandpg.org so-as to work with us individually and to answer additional questions. This site lists Members of Sports, Cardiovascular, and Wellness Nutrition (SCAN), who are experts in nutrition for athletic performance, fitness and weight management, cardiovascular health, wellness, and in the prevention and treatment disordered eating and eating disorders. Finally, Colin Hayes' excellent Runnin' So I Can Eat song, a clip of which was played on today's show, is available for free download from his site: http://resurrectedrunner.com/ [Click Here to Listen to RRT 107] | 12/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT 101: Things to Remember and Know on your Marathon race day | On Wednesday, October 6th, host Mark U. (http://runinamerica.com) was joined by Chris Russell (http://www.runrunlive.com), Colin Hayes (http://resurrectedrunner.blogspot.com), Stephen Tarleton (http://www.irunic.com/), and Pete Larson (http://runblogger.com). This show was very topical with ongoing flurry of fall races, as the group shared our lessons learned concerning: How to set a realistic, yet challenging goal finishing time;How race-day weather and the runner's physical condition can - and should - change the goal time;How the runner should adapt their pacing plan based on the course's elevation changes and their extent of "fade" in the late miles of the run;Advantages/disadvantages of wearing an MP3 player during a race;The panel's experience and advice with a number of fall marathons;Key preparations in the weeks, days, and hours preceding the race.Joining from the chat room were Craig Macfarlane, Joe Garland, MedScholarAdamL, Steve Melb, adamm9 and Guests 7, 8 & 9. [Click Here for Runners Roundtable - Episode 101]_ ________________________________________________________________________ CHECKLIST IN PREPARING FOR YOUR NEXT MARATHON: MONTHS BEFORE: Develop your personalized hydration, fueling and electrolyte strategy under a range of likely weather conditions, based upon:Identifying what sports drink (and water) are being served on the planned course.Identifying HOW MANY fluid aid stations that there will be on the course.Training using both water AND the provided sports drink, such that you’re completely comfortable with it on race day.Identifying and know the range of your “sweat rate” under anticipated marathon pace and temperature conditions. Through knowing the number of fluid aid stations along the course you can develop a tentative hydration plan.Identify what sports gel (e.g. Gu, Roctane, eGel, etc.) that you can safely and comfortably imbibe.Experimenting with different carbo-loading and race-morning fueling strategies. Goal is to be comfortable on race morning!Study the topography - and elevation profile - of the course. Be sure to train in conditions which well prepare you for the course itself. Particularly if a hilly course, consider the excellent MyMarathonPace.com to guide you to develop a preliminary pacing plan.Sometimes it’s a good idea to share your goal with a lot of people as through doing so it helps your level of commitment to your goal. This can help keep you focused and determined to carry through with your plan. Nevertheless, you know your body best, so if you feel that you've set an excessively ambitious goal, or that your physical fitness is not yet ready for the goal you've set, don't hesitate to revise your goals.A FEW DAYS BEFORE: Check the weather, be fully prepared for the full likely weather conditions:How does this affect your previously developed tentative hydration plan?How does this affect your sports gel plan?How does this affect your pacing plan?Ideally visit the Expo (and do all of your shopping) two days - or more - before the race - so-as to be maximally rested.If you’re planning to run with a pacing group, try to meet the pacing group leader(s) at the Expo so-as to be completely comfortable with their pacing strategy, level of experience, etc. Do NOT, however, abdicate to the pacing group leader(s) your personal responsibility for achieving your race goals.It is probably more important to make sure you get a good night’s sleep two nights before the race rather than just the night prior to the race. Some runners also prefer to do their “pasta dinner” routine two nights before the race and then eat just a very light meal the night before.THE DAY BEFORE: Final check of the anticipated weather conditions; tweak your plans accordingly.REST, REST, REST!If visiting a new city, don’t cover it on foot the day before the race.Implement day before fueling and hydration plan.The night before the race set TWO alarms, and lay out your intende | 10/31/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT 104: Endurance Relays | Looking for a race that is a little different from your local 5K or marathon? Interested in relay races? Curious about what RAGNAR is? We had a great talk around the table regarding endurance relays, discussing putting together a team, finding a team to join, and what to expect during the race and at the finish line. Hosting was Dr. Dave (NeverNotRunning.com) who will be running RAGNAR Key West in January. Co-hosting was Mark U. (RunInAmerica.com), Colin Hayes (ResurrectedRunner.blogspot.com), Chris Russell (RunRunLive.com), and Amanda Lanza (ChemERunner.blogspot.com). [Click Here to Listen to RRT 104] Miscellaneous Tips: Thoroughly study the Race Director's (RD's) provided instructions, as you will learn nearly everything you need to know by doing so. Links:Texas Independence Relay (other Lone Star Relays' info can be found here)RAGNAR Series (e.g.: Florida Keys, Northwest Passage, New England, Wasatch)Study your RD furnished handbook to determine the number of allowed vehicles on the course, as knowing this will determine much concerning your flexibility and options. Note that for TIR and RAGNAR relays there are permitted a maximum of two vehicles per team, with only one vehicle allowed at an exchange area. Example links:Texas Independence Relay RAGNAR Key WestCommunications and Navigation:Prior to the relay race the team leader should circulate the names of all team members along with their cell phone numbers. Request that each runner stores the names and cell phone numbers of other runners into their cell phones to facilitate communications. It is absolutely imperative that the vehicle drivers remain fully awake and aware. Thus, the "shotgun" passenger should remain awake to serve as a navigator and to field all cell phone communications.To facilitate navigation it is recommended that all vehicles have a GPS device, preferably one with updated maps, and that the navigator be fully familiar with its use. As most exchange points are not at an intersection it is very helpful in advance of the relay race to store each exchange point into the GPS. This can be done through http://maps.google.com via the "Send To GPS" and "Send to Phone" functionality. Ask the Race Director if you are uncertain how to obtain exact location (possibly including the latitude and longitude) for each exchange point location. Safety:As previously noted all vehicle drivers must remain fully awake and aware, and thus the "shotgun" passenger should remain awake to serve as both a navigator/assistant to the driver, and to field all cell phone communications.Especially in the evening, dusk and dawn hours it is essential that all runners wear reflective clothing and/or reflectors, and at least two sources of illumination (typically a head lamp and a blinker). All runners should study their assigned leg in advance of the race so-as to be confident in their ability to navigate. DO NOT simply follow the runner in front of you as in many circumstances one errant runner caused a number of other team's runners to find themselves miles from the course.While not yet required in most relays it is highly recommended - especially in the evening hours - that runners carry with them a small fully charged cell phone in a waterproof container. The phone should have pre-stored in it the cell phone contact numbers of others should it be required in an emergency.Runners should run on the left side of the road well into the shoulder lane, and should remain continuously observant of approaching vehicles, and prepared to quickly jump off the shoulder into the adjoining field in the event of any aberrant or unusual driving behavior.Under NO circumstances should a relay runner wear an MP3 player or in any way inhibit their hearing or vision.Each driver should have accessible to them a list containing each participant's cell phone number, and their emergency contacts.Teams should not utilize a bicycle to 'pace' the runner.Weather and C | 10/31/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

RRT: CII Open Mike | We had a nice chat. In the end, it was mostly about marathons generally and Chicago in particular as two guests, Mark of RunInAmerica blog and Craig shared their experiences. Here's a LetsRun thread: Chicago was warmer than people think. We spoke as well about the pros and cons of DNFing when things take a turn for the worse. Paul called in from California and was pleased to get some tips for his upcoming adventure at the ING New York City Marathon. Mark recommended Liz Robbins's "A Race Like No Other" about, of course, that race, and host Joe Garland seconded the suggestion. EddieMarathon is excited about running Marine Corps on October 31; he did the race last year. Eddie offered to have people doing MCM with logistical questions to touch base with him, and he and Adam T will be hosting an event there on race week-end. For those with questions about NY, feel free to drop Joe Garland a line. Mark also directed us to mantras of use to runners. Joe Garland offered one: If during a marathon you ask yourself why you are doing it, do not try to answer it since you may have trouble coming up with something convincing. Instead, simply tell yourself that there is an answer and you'll remember it after the finish. It was pointed out that marathons are closing earlier and earlier. Several, including Chicago, Marine Corps, and Boston (even with its qualifying standard) close out early, and Craig sent on a link to a Wall Street Journal article that says Boston, which opens for registration on October 18, might be full by mid-November, before Philly (and perhaps before NY on Nov. 7). New York, on the other hand, fills by a lottery (with Marathon and Half-Marathon times getting people automatic entry as well). The lesson: If you're interested in running a particular marathon, you'd better enter or you'll likely be shut out. We also spoke a bit about training for old folks. Joe Garland pointed to a link to his blog in which he sets out a long piece by coach John Kellogg that discusses the different training approaches that runners over 40 should take. Joe's incorporated some of these ideas into his own training. For next week, the show will have several HoustonHopefuls, Masters women trying to a 2:46:00 OT qualifier. And we spoke of one of those no-longer-hopefuls, Jaymee, who got her qualifier in the tough conditions of Chicago, and who told a fine tale about it. (Joe reproduces the as-it-happened chatter of Jaymee's followers on Facebook.) The show went long; we're thinking one might be able to find 60 decent minutes in the thing. Might.

Customer Reviews
Nice new addition to the running padcast community!
Great new format, love the contribution by Dr. Monty. Lovely to hear from all contributers, great points, great spirit and great athmosphere. Keep 'em comming for my long runs!
Good Show:Excuses Why I Didn't Run
Show starts slow -give it a chance. Really enjoyed the coach talking about excuses and reasons why we fail to get our workout in. Will give it a regular listen
