As a coach, Scott Jones has been putting every client in the last 12-15 years through a version of the hip set he is sharing on the show today.  Runners, they need it more than everyone.  Enjoy the show!

Long title, let's expand here...

Do you have trail running goals? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing road miles or running on pavement? This episode we go over some of these things and things to consider with your own goals in mind. Ultimately it's up to you, but here are some thoughts and considerations.

It's a proven fact. Every runner thinks they need another 5 months to train for their event. And, it makes sense. We all want to be completely ready for these big efforts. But, sometimes, we have put the work in and it's ready to just trust the training.  Today is one of those days with Red. 

Ginger has the big goal of finishing her first 100 in April of 2019 and we are excited to be a part of that. Before she get to try for 100 miles, she is running the Bandera 100k in a few weeks. Enjoy getting to know her and learning from the coaching call.

Caroline has some great news after dealing with a potential heart issue and we get to move on to more running related issues with Bandera fast approaching.  Enjoy the show!

Sara is getting a little nervous because Bandera is fast approaching.  On the call, Scott answers her questions about what to expect as well as delves into some logistics around the event.  We hope you learn something today!

Candy has been following her training diligently for 6 months now and it's paying off. She had a heck of a 5 hour training run recently and she will be going to West Virginia for the holidays so we talked about her goals for the last couple weeks before Bandera. We hope you learn something!

Sleep is important, but how can we use sleep deprivation in races? Should we train when sleep deprived? How can we avoid being sleep deprived? This episode is dedicated to both sides continuing on with the December Series here at Becoming Ultra. Hope this podcast is useful especially in these stressful times.

From 7 year olds running for joy without any bad form habits to 75 year olds running the same difficult trail half marathon every year. Running is for all ages, and there are plenty of ways to think about why we run at different ages.  Enjoy the show.

This episode is a little more lengthy as it was recorded live for Team BU in regards to the exciting upcoming Becoming Ultra event this season at Bandera! Hopefully there are some little take aways you can grab from this little live session for yourself to make your own race or training run a little bit better or easier, whether that's at Bandera or some other event. Please enjoy today's episode with Steph!
