ANIMALS!! Domestic and Wild Animals You May Meet During Your Runs!
Mar 2400:27:08Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#375 - No matter where we run, road or trail, we're board to encounter animals. What kind of run does determine what kind of animal you'll meet. In the contiguous North American States, there's a lot of animals we can encounter. This episode is about the many animals you may meet. Sorry Alaska, but you're on your own. Same for your Australia, I'm sure you're much more well-versed on your fauna than I am. I researched from a variety of experts to find the best and most common sense advise handling the many animals we many encounter. I hope you find this helpful and keep having fun on your runs!

The Long Run Revisited......
Mar 1700:27:45Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#374 - The long run is the most important run in your running week. It can also sometimes cause you the most trouble. This week, I revisit the long run (I previously recorded an episode on the long run) with updates and give a more personal example with my very current long run problems. If you're having problems being motivated to finish those long miles, then this episode is for you! We can do this together!

What's Worth Paying More and What's Worth Saving Money?
Mar 1000:28:34Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#373 - Running is an expensive sport. It CAN be a very expensive sport, but it doesn't have to be, if we choose where to spend our money. This week, I give you guidance and some ideas how to spend your money wisely. You may have your own list which is completely different than mine and that's awesome. It helps to know what it important enough to you to spend more money on and where you can save. By making certain items priorities, we can hopefully, spare ourselves from spending too much when we don't have to. Also, don't miss the end of the show when I talk about what happened at the Los Angeles Marathon this weekend.

Is There Gatekeeping In Running?
Mar 300:29:11Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#372 - Have you ever heard a runner call say someone else wasn't "a real runner"? Have you heard someone call someone disparagingly "a jogger"? This person is trying to gatekeep running. Trying to keep others out of certain running circles is nothing new. Fortunately, it's not as common as it used to be, but it still happens. I explore the subject of gatekeeping today. I also talk about why it may be a positive thing in some circumstances. Also, please don't miss the last part of the show, where I give tribute to one of the pioneers in running.

Does NCAA Track Have A Problem?
Feb 2400:24:57Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#371 - This week, I'm taking a close look at some of the problems with NCAA Track. With the introduction of revenue sharing in collegiate sports, does this announce the ending of track in many colleges and universities? That's one of the questions I tackle as well as a few others. Also, I turned 67 this week and I talk about what getting older as a runner means to me. It means that some things are slower, besides my running. But I' still getting out there!

Your Guide to San Francisco Stairways!
Feb 1700:27:22Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#370 - If you want a great workout, hit the stairs! I did an entire episode on stair workouts and it is a great way to up your running game. I take to another level this week by hosting a guide to some of the best staircases in San Francisco. And we have a lot of them! Each one has a special attraction all its own, be it the tiled stairs, the views from the top, the neighborhood; they're all treasured and worthwhile visiting. So, the next time you're running in San Francisco, please include one of these in your run. You won't regret it!

Logic vs Emotions!
Feb 1000:24:45Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#369 - For us runners, it's a constant battle between our logical brain and our emotions. Sometimes we need logic and in other times we need our emotions. There are times when one or the other will hurt or help us. Today, I help to break it down so that we can tell the difference. By identifying the differences before we start our runs, it can help a lot, because if the latter stages of a long run or race, we may not have the mental energy to do it.

Don't Make These Rookie Mistakes!
Feb 300:28:16Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail#368 - Even us experienced runners goof up. This week's episode is for all runners, beginners and non-beginners who may not remember everything that can help us on our runs and races. I'm probably the one who forgets more of these than anyone! There are so many, I'll probably do a Part 2 in the coming weeks because it doesn't hurt to have a reminder!
