All The Things Podcast

In episode 63 of the Buckleheads Podcast, we are recapping what was the KUS 6/12/24

One of our goals with this podcast is to highlight all of the cool running events in Kansas and the Midwest and the people who run them.

In this episode we talk with a few runners who just ran the KUS 6/12/24 hour race. We talk to QuynhAnh Nyguyen, Randy Ellis and Zach Bailor to hear about their experience at the race. QuynhAnh and Randy both ran the 24 hour race and Zach was the race director. Devin also talks about his experience running the 24 hour event.

This is part 1 of 2. Next week will be more guests recaps.

ob was a guest on episode of 24 where we go into detail with his story and upbringing.

The main focus of the discussion was how to safely and strategically implement some speed, or faster, work in to your training in order to improve your VO2 max, aerobic capacity, and running economy…..which all leads to becoming a better runner.

We try to discuss this in a way that will be helpful to both new and experienced runners and for racing any distance.
