    The Heat is ON!

    The Heat is ON!

    Send us a Text Message.#281 - Summer means more sun and MORE heat! It's been a few years since I last did an episode on heat training, so I thought I'd do an updated one so help us maximize our summer training. We can make the most out of the lighter days and the nicer weather if we plan ahead and take some precautions. Let's have fun this summer and keep running!

    The Magic Mile

    The Magic Mile

    Send us a Text Message.#280 - Mile races are not very popular anymore. But when we think back to mile races, we may think of Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute mile for the first time and how incredible it must have been. Or, we think of how this distance evolved into the 1500-meter race we have today. Or maybe, you think of the Beer Mile races that are rising in popularity today. There's something about the Miler to me that conjures storytelling, history and the romanticism of running. Th...

    Mental Strategies for the Long Run!

    Send us a Text Message.#277 - Unless you only run 5ks or are a casual runner and don't care about races, you will need to include a weekly or a bi-weekly long run. Long runs are terrific, but sometimes it's hard to psych ourselves up for getting through them. One long run might be a breeze, while another you may need some extra help! I'm here for you.

    Gear We Runners Love! Part 1

    Gear We Runners Love! Part 1

    Send us a Text Message.#276 - This first episode on running gear covers what we runners use during our runs - watches, shoes, hydration systems and clothes. There will be a second episode covering what we use before and after our runs. There will probably be a third episode covering everything I forgot because we runners like a lot of stuff! And don't miss my rant about woman's shorts! PS: After I recorded this, Garmin did an update to Garmin Connect that I absolutely HATE. I will includ...
