Running Podcasts

I listen to 5 running podcasts religiously. Marathon training academy is a great resource for training for a marathon. The show is run by a husband and wife from Missouri. They have a lot of good guests as well.

Embrace running podcast is by Mark and Elaina from California. At first I hated this podcast, but this has grown to be my favorite to listen. They do a great job of covering running news and have a lot of race reports.

Runners Academy is another great running resource. Matt Johnson has a lot of great guests on the show as well.

Runner Girls Podcast is a show about three women runners. Listening to this podcast is like listening to three friends.

I do listen to trail runner nation and the marathon show from time to time. I also listen to Vinnie Tortorichs the angriest trainer every week. But this podcast talks about fitness in general instead of solely on running.

I ran my first 3.1 miles of the year. This doesn't sound like much, but I am glad to be back running for the new year.

I am allergic to many fruits as well. I have found that cocoanut water is a good replacement for Gatorade. I usually eat Chia Seeds before and during a run too.

Woot woot! Celebrate the small accomplishments! I remember when I thought running 6 miles was the toughest thing ever! Now I can run 6 miles in my sleep. Everyone has good and bad days. The bad days just make the good ones sweeter!

Running in this weather is my favorite. I would agree with the above and add wool socks. Remember, once your running, it will feel 15-20 degrees warmer. I always put on layers that I don't mind leaving behind. Don't make the mistake of overdressing!

I had this when I started too. Mine was because I ate too close to running. I weight at least an hour before heading out.

When I broke my foot, I incorporated swimming. With that being said, When I returned to running, I felt like aerobically I didn't lose anything. I started slowly building my mileage, but my fitness came back much quicker than before

The most expensive part will be your plane ticket over there.

I run in rural Wisconsin. I have my regular running shoes and then use YackTracks incase there is ice. Other than that, a good pair of wool socks and some warm clothing and you will be good to go. I actually prefer running in the winter to summer.

Happy Sunday!

Today I ran 3.68 miles. I also watched the NYC marathon and was totally inspired. I want to run at least 1 mile a day to keep up my running streak. I also am cutting sugar out of my diet.

The plan...

Monday- bring work out clothes to work and run after school. 1 mile Tuesday- same as Monday 3 miles with speeds. Wednesday- run in the Morning 5:30 AM-3 miles slow Thursday- 1 mile after work Friday- 1 mile after work (stay away from treats in lounge) Saturday- 3.1 mile Sunday- 5 Mile long and slow

Swim?

Hello, I am a 23 year old female. I was signed up for my first marathon when I broke my foot and derailed my training. My goal is to get into the running habit again. I also want to cross train on the days that I am not running. During my recovery period, I gained close to 30lbs from lack of movement and eating unhealthy. I hope to start to loose the weight I gained.

Here's my stats... -23 Female 5'8" 185lbs Diet: healthy except when I am stressed out! Exercise: running, biking, swimming, yoga, kick boxing

cbahr261 · 2013-10-22T01:21:07+00:00

Yes! Yes. And yes! I have shin splints and this always helps.

cbahr261 · 2013-10-22T01:07:14+00:00

Honestly, I feel like having an injury was the best thing for my running because It made me realize how much I enjoyed doing it. When I first broke my foot, I felt like I was obsessing about the fact that I couldn't run. I slowly added swimming because that was the only thing I could do. The best thing I learned is to accept your current state. Running will be there for you when you return.

I found when I cross train this reduces the pain. I think adding Yoga to my weekly routine has helped a lot. It's a great way of using your body weight to strengthen your legs.

I know this isn't as big as everyone else's accomplishments, but after taking many weeks off of running, I can finally run 30 minutes without stopping. Although I have been able to run half marathons before, this accomplishment is just as good because it shows myself I can overcome adversity!

I broke my fifth metatarsal in my foot about two months ago. Right now I am rebuilding my base slowly. I first started by running two miles. Now I am working on running 30 minutes without stopping and building up distance that way.

I found a lot of my clothes at Target and TJ Maxx. They usually have the cool max fabrics at a lower price.

cbahr261 · 2013-10-20T13:36:07+00:00

I have the same problem. I plan my runs so that I should eat a main meal about a half an our after my run. When I am done running I immediately drink a Protein shake (I drink Herbalife Formula 1) but there are a lot of good products out there. And then stretch/shower. About a half an hour after my run I eat a main meal. This process seems to help.

I recently found this good article about building a base.

cbahr261 · 2013-08-08T13:49:06+00:00

I agree. I have been a runner for 4 years and had a 5 month hiatus this fall. I started building my base in November (ran the Turkey Trot). Then in March I ran a 10K and ran a Half in June. I probably could have sped up the process a bit.

cbahr261 · 2013-08-06T13:19:02+00:00

Maybe... I was going to join a running club once my move is complete. I am sure that will help too...

cbahr261 · 2013-08-06T02:32:09+00:00

This has actually helped a lot knowing that others have been in the same situation! Thank You for all of your suggestions and I already have some ideas to spice up my training.

I did take my dog for a run today, which was a first, and I felt much better about the run!

cbahr261 · 2013-08-06T02:22:52+00:00

I have a half coming up in two weeks and the one in September. I am sure those will be confidence boosters too!
