In this one, we are going to talk about how to achieve BALANCE in your running in two different ways.

a. How do you balance running and life? I give you 5 thoughts on how to find time for training while balancing work, family, and relationships.

Episode #344: The Truth about Zone 2 Training03 Feb 202400:45:45

Zone 2 this and Zone 2 that... it's all the rage on social media and with longevity experts. On the bright side, discussing Zone 2 means that you are talking about the importance of EASY running, and we know easy running is the key to building fitness and longevity. On the other hand, there are misconceptions about what Zone 2 means and how to apply it. In this episode, I give you 6 truths about Zone 2 training, and what that means for your training. I would bet money for a HR monitor that you learn something in this one!

Episode #254: Post Marathon Musings20 Oct 202100:46:33

October 10th and 11th brought an epic return to marathon racing in the US via the Chicago and Boston Marathons. The conditions were tough for many, but the energy and magic were amazing anyway.

I was in Boston to run and experience one part of that myself. In this episode, I break down my post-marathon musings that might be helpful in you processing your races too.

Episode #253: Deciding What's Next for Your Training06 Oct 202100:40:39

With fall races on the horizon again (or already done), you will soon be faced with the question: how do I continue to improve in my next training cycle? In this episode, I talk about 4 over-arching principles and 7 things to consider for finding improvement within your next cycle. For example, should you increase volume or intensity? Or should you add strength or focus on recovery? 

I will answer these questions and more and also help you hone in on the incremental improvements needed to reach your long term potential.

Episode #252: Final Tips for London, Chicago, and Boston29 Sep 202100:53:50

Congrats to everyone who ran in the Berlin Marathon this past weekend. It is so amazing to see major marathons happening again after such a long break!

With that as inspiration, I put together this episode with final tips for the London, Chicago, and Boston Marathons including general tips for all three races and individual tips for each one. I talk about course logistics, course strategy, and weather considerations for all three. If you are racing one of these, then this is a must-listen!

Episode #251: Building and Executing Long Run Workouts22 Sep 202100:41:39

The long run might be the most important run in any half marathon or marathon training block. However if you want to get the most from your training cycle, you should be doing workouts within a few of these long runs to practice race pace, learn to run fast under fatigue, and build resilience to finish strong on race day.

In this episode, I give you the do's and don'ts for building and executing these workouts and then talk about specific examples for you to try yourself. Every elite athlete is doing workouts like these, and I believe you are worthy and able to do them as well.

Episode #250: Building Your Own Race Plan15 Sep 202100:47:09

We have produced at least 7 episodes for this podcast on race planning for various courses throughout the country from flat like Houston or Chicago to hilly like NYC, Boston, or Austin. Those episodes have been very prescriptive and may or may not be applicable to the course you might face soon.

In this episode, I give you 8 steps for building and executing your own marathon race plan in order to give you the best chance for success on race day. Listen, learn and then apply to your next goal race so that you can start smart and finish strong!

Other race planning episodes include episodes 5 (general marathon), 8 (Austin), 14 (Boston), 46 (general all distances), 56 (Houston/3M/Austin), 98 (NYC), and 101 (CIM). Episode 150 talks about mental tips for race day.

Episode #249: Getting the Most from Your Prep Race08 Sep 202100:49:24

So you want to do a half marathon before your marathon? Or a 10K before your half marathon? Great, but let's talk about it...

In this episode, I give you all the things to consider when doing a prep race including how to define and choose your goals for it, how to execute it whether you are racing all out or not, and of course, how to make sure it becomes an additive piece to the overall path to your "A" race. It's exciting that races are back again, just make sure you get the most out of every opportunity to toe the line!

Episode #248: Choosing Your Race Pace01 Sep 202100:50:50

Training paces and race paces are correlated, but they do represent separate and distinct decisions on the path to your goal. In this episode, I talk about 6 factors to consider when choosing your race pace - purpose, experience, race history, training results, risk tolerance, and of course, the conditions on the day. 

Consider these factors, and then once you lock in a target, develop a race plan around it, put the blinders on, and go for it!

Episode #247: Embracing the Go Slow to Go Fast Philosophy25 Aug 202100:45:56

In episode #240, I talked about the importance of slowing down in order to achieve your full potential. Unfortunately, that is so much easier said than done for many athletes. In fact, I think this is the single hardest concept for any runner to embrace fully in their training. As a result, countless runners are hitting plateaus or are chronically injured.

In this episode, I give you 6 things to do in order to internalize and execute on this core training principle. I promise it is simple, but that doesn't make it easy!

Episode #246: 9 Truths about Training Paces18 Aug 202100:46:17

This topic might be the single biggest topic for questions that I get as a coach. What paces should I train at? How do these paces change with weather? What if I can't hit them? How should my training paces inform my race pace? What does this race result mean for my training paces? And I could go on...

These are all good and valid questions, but many of them are underpinned by common misunderstandings about how training paces work. In this episode, I try to bust some of those myths while laying out 9 truths about training paces and how you should use them.

Episode #245: Lessons from the Olympic Games11 Aug 202100:45:49

Who else is going through Olympics withdrawal like me?!? I'm happy to have more sleep but definitely miss the inspiration of the Games. In this episode, I talk about 5 inspiring stories and athletes from the Olympic Games and how we can apply those lessons in our own training. Yes, we can learn from the best athletes on the planet. And yes, they are more like the rest of us than we think!

Episode #343: A Beautiful but Tough Day in Houston19 Jan 202400:52:20

James Dodds joins me to help me recap a tough day at the Houston Marathon for me. It was my big goal race, but it didn't go how I hoped it would. Fortunately, the reasons for that are crystal clear, which I break down in the episode. I am still very proud of my day and even more hungry for what's to come. Thank you to everyone for your support in this journey. I will rest, recover, and get back to work!

Episode #244: The Taper Phase04 Aug 202100:54:45

To finish my impromptu series on the phases of training, here is an episode on the taper phase of training (aka peaking mode). These are the final weeks of work where you reduce volume in order to get the body fresh and the mind sharp for race day. In the episode, I talk about what that means including how to reduce your mileage, what types of workouts to do, and of course, how to make sure you mental toolkit is locked and loaded for the big day. 

Listen once now and then again in Sept, October, or November in your final weeks of training for that fall race!

Episode #243: The Race-Specific Phase of Training28 Jul 202100:45:14

Last week, we talked about the aerobic strength phase of training with a focus on building endurance through primarily effort-based work. In this episode, we take the next step into the race-specific phase of training and talk about the goals, guiding principles, and workouts you might execute in the final phase of work before the taper. This is the phase where it is time to get specific with your paces, goals, and workouts so that you are properly peaked for race day. You want to step right up to the edge but without going over it. That is easier said than done, but this episode will help you find that fine line.

Episode #242: Building Aerobic Strength21 Jul 202100:42:49

As discussed in my recent episode on periodization, training should begin with a base or priming phase and then proceed to the aerobic strength phase of work. In this episode, I focus on the aerobic strength phase of work in training, including what it means and how to get the most from it. To start, we define aerobic strength and then talk about the guiding principles of this phase. Finally, we talk about the goals of the work during this phase and specifically how to accomplish them with workout examples. 

This phase is perhaps the most important in your training cycle so do make sure you are optimizing it!

Episode #241: The Dos and Don'ts of Cross Training13 Jul 202100:30:06

I often get the question: where does cross training fit into my run training? 

The answer to that question is more nuanced than you might think. In this episode, I define cross-training for you and then talk about for whom and how it might fit into your overall running routine. Spoiler alert: it may not be for everyone and that's ok.

Episode #240: Slow Down, Get Your Time by Taking Your Time29 Jun 202100:45:41

In one of the most counter-intuitive concepts in sports, you can only optimize your potential as a runner by slowing down. Yes, I said it. You have to go slow in training in order to go fast on race day. In this episode, I present 5 different ways that you need to slow down in training in order to get and smash your long term goals. If you can set your ego aside and embrace these concepts, then you will find breakthroughs in your running for many years to come. 

Episode #239: Lessons from the Olympic Trials, Weekend 122 Jun 202100:53:16

Running is running. The elites do it more and faster, but their experiences aren't as different from ours as you might think. In this episode, I bring you 7 lessons from the first weekend of the Olympic Trials. These are lessons that you can apply in your own running and life. Thank you to an amazing group of athletes - Allyson Felix, Cory McGee, Woody Kincaid, Elise Cranny, Karissa Schweizer, Heather MacLean, Elle Purrier, Emma Coburn and Abbey Cooper for the inspiration!

Episode #238: Hope and Houlihan15 Jun 202101:02:03

With this episode, I take a departure from my usual training content to talk to you as fans. Yesterday, we learned that Shelby Houlihan, American record holder in the 1500m and 5K, is now serving a 4-year ban for ingesting a banned substance. She claims that the banned substance - Nandrolone - was ingested via a burrito from a food truck. WADA did not buy her story and confirmed her ban via the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). 

In this episode, I discuss why I don't believe Houlihan's story to this point, but also why I think you should still have hope in the sport. True or not, please, please don't let this make you jaded. There is too much inspiration to still be had. Instead, dig in, get educated, and then choose who to invest in. As a fan, you have that choice, and I encourage you to use it.

Episode #237: Relaxed Running = Fast Running08 Jun 202100:42:46

Long distance running is an efficiency game, and far too many of us are constantly pressing the edge and running ourselves ragged instead. Relaxed running is fast running, but that's so much easier said than done. In this episode, I give you 5 tips for finding new gears by embracing this concept. Learn to relax and stay in control while running, and it will pay off. 

Episode #236: 5 Tips for Training in the Heat02 Jun 202100:41:58

It's that time of year in many places where the training starts to get hard thanks to the heat and humidity of the late Spring and Summer months. In Austin, we've already seen mornings at 70+ degrees and 90%+ humidity. For better or worse, this means you have to make adjustments to your training in order to optimize your work in the summer in order to get your fall goals. In this episode, I give you 5 tips to do so as you learn to embrace the suck!

In this quick-hit episode, I give you 4 simple ways to improve your form over time. These are things you can do every single week to get faster in the long term. There are no hacks, and you won't see instant progress, but you will be investing in the goal smashing of your future self.

Episode #233: Dealing with Running Burnout11 May 202100:57:02

As a by-product of the pandemic, I've seen more running burnout recently than normal. If you're in this place, it's ok. It's not your fault, but you do need to be proactive about dealing with it BEFORE you get after chasing your next goal. In this episode, we talk about the definition of burn-out, the causes of burn-out, and what to do both mentally and physically to get through it.

Episode #232: The Church of the Long Run04 May 202101:05:33

The long run might be the most important element of any training program. And yet, many of us and many training programs aren't optimizing it. Or worse, the long run is executed in a way (often by running it too fast) that is counter-productive to training. In this episode, we talk about why the long run is so important and then how to get the most out of it.

I answer the important questions on the what, when, how often, how long, and how fast of the long run. Plus, at the end, I talk about ways to optimize this most important run of the week.

Episode #228: Letter to My Younger (Running) Self06 Apr 202100:53:11

Last week, I saw a poignant letter from Lauren Fleshman to her younger self (linked below). It inspired me to think about the lessons I might share with my younger running self. In this episode, I give you (and the younger me) 8 lessons from my 20+ year running journey. Some are focused on training mechanics, while others are focused on how to understand and enjoy the journey more. I certainly don't regret the twists and turns that have taught me these things, but I do perhaps wish I knew or learned a few of these sooner! What have you learned in your running journey so far? What would you tell your younger self?

Episode #227: Time to Prime30 Mar 202100:53:35

The birds are chirping, spring is in the air, and the virtual Boston Marathon just opened for registration. With fingers crossed and simultaneously knocking on wood, hope is building for real, live, in-person fall races to happen. If that's true, then training for those fall races starts soon! In Austin, we will be kicking off our fall training on May 8. 

What does that mean? It means you need to be primed and ready to begin training very soon. As a former coach of mine used to say, it's time to get fit enough to really train. In this episode, I give you 5 steps to prime your body for the work that will come so that you can hit the ground running in week 1 of your training block. It's time to get ready for the real training to begin again. Will you be ready?!?

Episode #226: Embracing Failure with Coach Tenille Hoogland23 Mar 202101:21:51

Tenille Hoogland (@hooglandt) has a fascinating story in sport from growing up in Canada as a province-best synchronized swimmer to a later career as a pro triathlete. She wanted badly to make an Olympic team, but that dream never became a reality. During that time, she also spent time within the Rogue community in Austin as an athlete and coach. Now, she is still a coach, is co-founder of the Resilient Athlete Project, and is an advocate for women in sport. She also has fresh perspective and a whole bunch of life lessons from her nonstop pursuit of the next goal that drove her early in life. 

In this conversation, we talk primarily about embracing failure and how to channel it into something positive, but there are many more lessons buried within. In particular, we dig into how to balance overall health and performance, which can be a tightrope to walk for many. Listen in, and I think you will walk away with a new perspective on your own journey as well. 

Episode #225: Silencing Self Doubt16 Mar 202100:56:24

Elite, amateur, and all degrees of fast, for those pushing toward a big goal, we all face self-doubt as runners. It might come as the everyday narrative in our heads or the fleeting thoughts that make you question yourself in a race or workout. Either way, it's important to develop tactics to deal with self-doubt so that you can smash your biggest goals. In this episode, I talk about types of self doubt and then 5 practical tactics to address it when it comes.

Episode #223: The Art of the Recovery Run02 Mar 202100:49:22

After a week off due to complications from the winter storm in Texas, I am back to you this week with 49 minutes all on the recovery run. As a coach, one of the biggest mistakes I see is runners taking their recovery runs too fast. If you do that, then it's not a recovery run, and you are asking for injury. Plus, you are likely getting suboptimal output on your long or hard day as well. 

In this episode, I talk about the why, the where, and the hows of the recovery run so that you can get the most out of your entire training week. Remember, recovery is where you grow, where you build fitness, and the recovery run is the centerpiece of that growth. Listen in and learn to better execute those super easy days!

Episode #222: The Myth of Race Weight15 Feb 202100:43:53

You will commonly hear runners talk about getting to their "race weight" in order to achieve their goals on race day. I'm here to tell you that, as a running coach, I don't believe in that way of thinking. In fact, I believe it can be destructive and lead to under performance in many cases.

In this episode, we talk about how to reframe the discussion around race weight both in your mind and in your physical training. It's not the number on the scale that matters but rather the work you are doing to be the best running version of yourself. Healthy inputs = healthy outcomes and that equation as nothing to do with the weight you *think* you should be.

As I enter 2021, one of the themes in my personal running journey is to get back to the basics of the work, to embrace and enjoy the fundamentals in order to lay a foundation for big goals still to come.

In this episode, I talk about 5 pillars of a solid running foundation that will keep you happy, healthy, and getting faster in the sport for years to come. This episode is not only for those struggling to get motivated right now but also those who are crushing it who just need a reminder about the things that matter most in this sport. Do you want to smash your running goals over the long term? Do these 5 things consistently, and I promise you the work will pay off. It's only a matter of time.

Episode #218: Introducing Kids to Running with Cami Hawkins, CEO of Marathon Kids18 Jan 202100:51:29

In this conversation, I talk with Cami Hawkins, CEO of Marathon Kids, about getting kids to fall in love with running. Marathon Kids is a national organization that has the mission to show kids through running that they can achieve more than they ever thought possible and be on the path to healthier lives. Marathon Kids has served over 2.5 million kindergarten through 5th graders in its 25 years and hopes to continue to do so for the next 25 years. With this conversation, I have 3 goals:

1. Bring awareness to the great work of Marathon Kids to get kids active, an organization that I have been work with directly for the last 17 years. I now serve as Board Chair and am a parent to 3 Marathon Kids.  

2. Provide tips on how to get your kids to fall in love with running while also building their fitness in a healthy and sustainable way.

3. Ask for your support of the organization. During the week of January 25th, I am going to cover 104.8 walking and running miles in order to raise awareness and fundraise for the cause. I would love for you to support my goal to raise $20,000 to help fund the next generation of Marathon Kids. 

Give the gift of running and donate to the cause here: https://app.hellofund.com/view/fundraiser/BZ6u6m6ukYn

All proceeds are tax deductible and go directly to Marathon Kids to be used to support their mission.

In this episode, James and I interview Paul Esteso, a member of our virtual podcast group called the Rogue Renegades. Paul tells the story of his running journey and the epiphany that would lead to a massive breakthrough in his results.

His marathon times had hit a plateau, and he wanted more. With a few simple changes to his training, focused on the fundamentals, he went from running 3:37 in the marathon to under 3 hours in just a few years.

The beauty of Paul's story is that everyone can make the simple changes he made and see big gains. Your times and your starting point might be different and the journey will be your own, but the fundamental principles are the same. Listen, learn, apply!
