The Most Dangerous Trails in the US!!!
6d ago00:28:47Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#385 - We runners love a challenge! So this week, I'm talking about 12 of the most dangerous trails in the US. They are dangerous for different reasons; some trails have huge elevation gains in short distances, while others have tricky and possibly dangerous trails while others are home to dangerous animals. Which one of these trails frighten you the most? You'll find out which one scares me the most! PS: I didn't include those trails that could be considered mountain climbing as that's not hiking or trail running. Also, I have individual episodes on the longest trails in the US and will continue those episodes on separate episodes.

Sciency Stuff About Running!
2w ago00:23:53Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#384 - This week we're having fun talking all about science in running! It's a hodge podge of different science facts about running: how we runners are smarter than non-runners (it's true, I think!), how your attitude will determine if you get sick or stay well after a race and so much more! So let's have fun with Running Science!

Getting Lost On A Trail Run???
3w ago00:24:55Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#383 - Have you ever gotten lost on a trail run, during a race? Most of us have at one time or another. Were you able to find your way back quickly? Most people do, but there may be that one time when you run into trouble. This week, I give you some help to keep you on the right path. Trail running takes focus and I know that's not so easy when the scenery is so amazing! But, it's worth taking your time because you'll have a better run if you do.

How Adventurous Are You???
4w ago00:25:22Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#382 - There's no exact line to say who's adventurous and who isn't. There are some guidelines and these loose guidelines can be applied to anyone who's trying something out of their comfort zone. I don't feel anyone else should pass judgement on us when we determine where that line is. There are too many in running and endurance sports telling us we need to take more chances, try more, do more. That's a personal decision and no one can decide that but us. This week, I give us something to think about, perhaps on your next run. Are you the type who likes to try next experiences head-on? Or do you like to stick with what you know? As I said, there are no judgements, no trying to talk you into doing something new. That's entirely your choice. We're just doing some long run thinking today. Enjoy the run!

GLP-1s and Running!
May 500:25:23Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#381 - Big Pharma is always with us, it seems. You can't watch any sporting event, stream any movie or show, watch any video or do anything on any media without seeing an ad touting GLP-1s. This week, I explain what they are and how they can help and hurt runners. There are positives to using them and there are negatives. Many people are getting help from them and many people are using them incorrectly. I try to take a wide-angled look at this new-ish drug that's just one of many in our society's long history of diet drugs.

A Look At the Cocodona 250!!!
Apr 2800:24:08Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#380 - In 2021, a new very long ultrarace started in Arizona by Aravaipa Running. The Cocodona 250 began and what an incredible race it is! If you know anything about Aravaipa Running, then you know it's expertly organized, and though very difficult, you will have the best support possible on the course. I take a look at the changes that have happened since it started and what makes this race so special. And why you may want to one day run it!

Running With Migraines!!!
Apr 2100:26:19Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#379 - It's tough enough to run with the demands of our busy lives. Add migraines into the mix and well, you could have many missed training runs and even races! Millions of Americans suffer from migraines, and many of those are runners. This week, I take a detailed look at migraines and how we can if not avoid them all together, reduce their effects so they don't hurt our running careers.

AVOID These Plants On Your Trail Run!!!
Apr 1400:25:57Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#378 - A couple weeks ago I did an episode on animals to watch out for on your runs. This week, I'm going over plants that could be harmful if you're not careful. If you are careful, stick to the trail and keep your eyes out, you'll be fine, but sometimes we take a few more chances than we should, so this may help you identify plants that don't like to play nice.

Ways We Sabotage Our Runs and Races and How We Can Stop It!
Apr 700:31:33Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#377 - There are many ways we runners hurt our training runs and races and we don't even realize it! This week, I go over a few different ways we hurt our running and how we can either stop doing it or choose something more helpful. I also realized after I recorded this episode, that I left off a few, so there will be a Part 2 coming along in a few weeks! Sometimes we are our own worst enemy, but we don't have to be! Also, if you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel, I upload at least one short every week and I'll start adding longer separate videos soon! https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Do Runners Need Supplements?
Mar 3100:25:02Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#376 - The vitamin and supplement industry makes billions of dollars per year, much of it from athletes, like us runners. My question this week is: Do runners need supplements? This isn't an easy question to answer. We may or we may not. I break it down and go over the yes and the no answers, as well as what vitamins may help our running. I conclude the episode by talking about those additions in our supplements we do NOT want, including lead! You don't want to this this one!
