#294 - If you search back in running history Robert Earl Johnson and Wilma Rudolph will be two of the first names that you will see. Both are pioneers in running history, having achieved firsts in races and track meets, including the Olympics, that had not been seen before. Johnson was the first Black American to compete in Olympic distance running and Rudolph was the first American woman to win three Gold Medals in one Olympic games. But they were both so much more. And that is what this week's episode is about. So, join me as I honor this two magnificent runners and heroes!

#293 - This week, I talk about my short but wonderful trip to Lake Tahoe and Echo Lake and how important it is to get away to the place where that recharges your batteries. The Sierra Nevada Mountains does that for me like no place else. I know there's a place that you like to go to when you feel the need to re-energize. No matter how brief, it is better to go for a short stay than no stay. I also talk about my terrific training run and I finally figured out why I fell on that fateful day last December. It was a big week of discoveries for me and I'm so grateful to be able to share it with you!

#284 - There are A LOT of things we can do to prepare for a race, or a long training run. I'm including training runs in this episode as well, as the preparation and recovery are usually the same things, aren't they? Many things we can prepare, other things we can purchase (who said running is a cheap sport???). Maybe you do some of these things already and others you hadn't thought about. In any case, it's fun to think about some alternative ways to do things and to give it a new perspective!

#194 - This week, it's all about my last race, the 12-hour Ride to Walk Race and my camping trip at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. The race was terrific! It was so well prepared and organized! I'll be doing it again next year for sure! And, if you've never camped or ran on trails through giant Sequoias, you should start preparing for a trip to this great park!

#193 - What is Imposter Syndrome and why is it so prevalent in running? I break it all down for you this week. I explain what it is and why it's so important to understand. The majority of runners will at some point in their runner life feel they're not a good runner, or don't belong to be where they're at. But why do we feel this way and how are some ways we can work through it? Because we CAN work through it! just as there is a sunset, there is light ahead! So take a listen and we'll do this together!

#185 - There are a few subjects that running podcasts never bring up. Why is that? Are they too embarrassing? Gross? Too personal? Well, this week, I'm breaking down the barriers and talking about them! 

WARNING: As always, there are no swear words, but if the discussion of natural bodily functions disturbs you, then this episode may not be for you. On the other hand, if you like a good laugh and realize that all runners do the same things, enjoy!

#184 - Zach Bush runs a lot. He also swims and cycles a lot. One day, he decided he wanted to road race more than trail race. Most people I know go from roads to trails, so I found this reversal interesting and so honest. Zach talks about following what he wants, no matter the trends or what others do. He talks about his hard work maintaining his fitness, and doing the races and workouts that he truly wants.

#176 - Olympic sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner's brief life was but stellar. Her 100 and 200 meter records in 1988 still hold today! That alone is remarkable, but her history is also one that I wanted to give homage to this week. She broke open many barriers, including the one that said women can't be athletes and also be true their own selves. Throughout her short running career, she paved her own way, never following, never imitating. And always, with that contagious, beautiful smile.

#282 - Each year, I like to spend an episode reflecting on sobriety and running and what it all means. In an era where alcohol and drugs are pushed on us in nearly every facet of our lives, it's good to take a step back and see if they are helping or hurting us. I have never hidden my sobriety, it's extremely important to me and I share some reasons why in this episode.

Sometimes I get lucky, like when I discovered Still Running by Vanessa Zuisei Goddard. After reading this monumental book, I was so delighted when she agreed to be on the show!

Unsatisfied with medicating herself to stop the pain, she knew there was another way. She talks about the in this weeks episode. As runners, we're used to dealing with pain. But there's a difference between the temporary pain of a race or training run and the constant pain from a disease, illness or medical condition.

#167 - Eating disorders in sports is nothing new.  And unfortunately, in running, it isn't going away any time soon.

#166 - If ultrarunning were easy, everyone would do it. Because it's so difficult, very few do it. And very few do it with the compassion and emotion that Richard Gallegos has. He talks about his journey into running, including his weight loss and his struggles. He talks about his incredible self-supported race across Florida, as well as some of his favorite races! You'll be inspired and awed.

#165 - We have a lot of choices of running shoes. The market is flooded with every type of shoe imaginable. If you like a really thick, padded sole, there's five different kinds for you. If you only want a little padding, they are there for you. If you want a big difference between the drop from heel to toe, you got it, none, you got that too. But for the minimalist runner, there are only a few choices. Xero Shoes is one of those. Steven Shasen and his wife started the company out of the idea that running as close to the way humans ran for thousands of years is the best way. And he's here to tell us why. Whether you agree or disagree with him, it's great to learn how and why he started the company. Or, if you're like me, I knew very little about this type of running shoe, so I was very happy to learn why this is a very valid shoe choice for many!

We also talk about the NHL, mainly the New York Rangers, because we're both avid fans! So, welcome to Hockey Talk!

#163 - This week, I talk about a few running myths that need to be broken. I start it off with dispelling the myth about the word: failure. Why are runners today afraid to use this word? We runners should not be. We learn from failure and we can grow and become better runners by embracing our failures. I also talk about the quotes from a famous fitness influencer and motivator and why a lot of what he says isn't true. It's time to break away from unicorns and lollipops and know that in reality, we runners are way stronger!

#160 - We all know about Western States, Hardrock, HURT, Badwater 135. We also know how difficult it is to get entry into these races. But there are hundreds of other great ultra races across the US you may have never heard of. This week's episode is about discovering twelve of them! I picked a cool one from a different state for each month of the year. I think it's important to support local race companies and this should help a little. Each race will have a link on the website so you can check it out yourself! 

I'll also be doing another episode in the future on international ultras, because there's plenty of those we should know more about! 

For all information, please go to: wwwmartharunstheworld.com if you want your race report read in Tales of the Trail, please email it: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Please send your name, the race name, the date, location and how it went.

His work in all things physical fitness will inspire you as you go out on your runs and workouts!

#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. That's what makes it such a magical distance. Listen to this week's show to it's history, to the men and women who broke records and to a mile race that you can enter today!

#155 - So, I dug out my crystal ball for 2022 to give a few predictions in this week's episode. Check out what I think races will be like, running shoes and even socks! All the information for everything mentioned is on the website www.martharunstheworld.com

I do have a couple corrections to make. The Flight Vectiv Guard Futurelight shoe (what a terrible name!!!) is from North Face, not Northbeach. I don't know why I said that! Also, The name of the article I talked about by Zoe Rom is New Year's Resolutions for Trail Runners. A link will be on the website. 

If you want to send me your race report, and I would love it if you did, please email me all the details at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com 

Have a great running 2022!!!

#154 - We certainly had a roller coaster of a ride this year! I for one, am glad it's over and I look forward to a sparkling new year! But there's lots to talk about in 2021 and I go over the highlights and some low points, although I'd much rather stick to the positives! I give out a few awards and read a whole bunch of listeners' highlights from 2021! MRTW listeners ROCK!!!
