Training As Transformation

Episode 59

Thursday, June 13, 2024 • Duration 01:02:22

This episode ends up being a continuation of last week's discussion around the important aspects any runner should be considering when starting a training plan. We covered so much ground last week but it felt to us that there were still things we needed to address.
Every runner who embarks on a training journey desires transformation. Ultimately, every runner who sets a goal time for a race wants to be somewhere different from where they find themselves in the moment. They are desiring transformation. & because they are working extremely hard for this change, there is a significant risk that if they don't hit the mark, there will be significant disappointment.
So the training process is very serious business. What do we need to be considering in order to be ready for the transformation we desire. Listen along as we unpack this more deeply. Godspeed, my friends, godspeed.

🎶Start At The Very Beginning…🎶

Episode 58

Thursday, May 30, 2024 • Duration 01:34:48

Last time around we covered the essentials of a quality session. This time around we attempt to cover what to consider when starting a training cycle. Jury is out on whether we succeed or not. What we most certainly do is get our rant on. Steve pops off all over the goddamn place. Trigger warnings for vegans, overreachers, those who are full of shit & many others. This is definitely a wide open conversation heavy on Steve's "strong opinions".
Godspeed, friends, godspeed.

Form Ever Follows Function: Crafting Quality Workouts

Episode 57

Thursday, May 16, 2024 • Duration 01:17:48

What makes a workout something other than just a run? In this training deep dive, Michael & Steve describe the architecture of a workout. The two categories we use are form & function - following the famous quote of Louis Sullivan: "Form ever follow function."
The full quote is pretty cool, actually:

Whether it be the sweeping eagle in his flight, or the open apple-blossom, the toiling work-horse, the blithe swan, the branching oak, the winding stream at its base, the drifting clouds, over all the coursing sun, form ever follows function, and this is the law. Where function does not change, form does not change. The granite rocks, the ever-brooding hills, remain for ages; the lightning lives, comes into shape, and dies, in a twinkling.

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things superhuman, of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function. This is the law.

-Louis Sullivan

In our discussion we break things down as such:

Form

pace/effort
distance/duration
rest/recovery
warm-up/cool-down

Function

variation
specificity
one discrete whole
purpose

We go pretty deep here. Enjoy & godspeed, my friends, godspeed.

How To Become A Track Fan: The Women's 10,000m & 5000m

Episode 55

Thursday, May 2, 2024 • Duration 01:09:44

The Women's 10K/5K History

The 10K wasn't even added into the WC or Olympics until 1988.

Again, the domination by the East African countries, especially Ethiopia & Kenya has been total.

I'll mention Ingrid Kristiansen, a Norwegian badass in the 80's who revolutionized the women's 5000/10,000 before moving up & getting steam-rolled in big races by the inimitable Joan Benoitin the inaugural women's Olympic Marathon (LA-1984). After this though, she utterly dominated the marathon between 1985-1989. Why is she not the GOAT? 4th in 1984; DNF in 1988.

After this the East Africans come in & start dominating, same as with the men.

How To Become A Track Fan: The 10,000m

Episode 53

Thursday, March 28, 2024 • Duration 01:19:13

In this episode Steve takes a deep dive into the 10,000m track event in our series on trying to make Michael into a track & field fan in anticipation of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. For the notes Steve created to help introduce Michael to the event, please see below.
Please note that we while we didn't go into the women's 10K nearly enough, we'll continue to bring out the important storylines over the coming months to ensure Michael has as much intel on the women's events as the men's.

The 10,000m Episode Notes

Relevance. It's more likely that you have experience running/racing the 10K than the 800m. Also, you understand the energy needs for this event more than the 800m.
The TEN. One of the biggest 10Ks of the year was run this weekend. Sound Running put on the their yearly 10K on So Cal in perfect conditions where athletes were trying to get their Olympic standards. This provides an excellent opportunity for you to watch the race before we talk & have it top of mind.
Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdnO--7pbP4
You won't know many/any? of the names before watching this video & I won't be surprised if you want to fast forward to the final 5 min or so. If you do fast forward, I recommend you jump to 17 min (18:17 on the video). One argument for listening all the way through is you can get a chance to be exposed some of the lingo & energy.
How To Qualify for the Olympics. This will give us a chance to go over the rather confusing & complicated process for getting on the starting line of the 10K in Paris.
Another important 10K happened over the weekend in Spain where two of the favorites for the 10K gold medal ran on the roads. You can see that HERE of you are interested.

Main Discussion Points

We want to talk distance. How the event feels when racing.
We want to talk surface. Track (25 laps of the 400m track) vs Cross Country vs Road.
I want to talk about technology & how & new " has revolutionized the distance. Also, here is of the top 6 models as of summer 2023.
