Martha Theirl is the kind of physical therapist that any runner would benefit from working with.

We talk about her exploits as an athlete, but running and lacrosse, but also talk about why balance work and strength training are so important to us as runners.

At long last, a return to racing is approaching!

But just because races are starting to happen again, doesn't mean that races are going to feel "normal" right out of the gate.

For John Pitzel, running is something that helps him de-stress.

Therefore, when it comes to his races, the last thing he wants to do is choose races that cause him to stress out about his performance/his results.

The party at the back of the pack? That's right where he wants to be!

Karen Schlueter-Morland started running almost 50 years ago, and ran her first marathon more than 30 years ago!

Needless to say, she's seen a bit of change related to running over the years.

We talk about some of the changes, both in the sport overall and in her running specifically, during today's episode of the show.

Runners are a notoriously inflexible bunch, both physically and with our training.

Working on improving, or at the least maintaining, your flexibility to adapt your routine to the happenings of life is often a necessity.

After a handful of marathons, Rob Jones recognized that something wasn't working.

Instead of continuing to do what he had been doing, he tore it all down and started rebuilding from the ground up.

And the results thus far have been promising, to say the least.

Is easy and being comfortable basically the same thing?

No.

Is running easy while being uncomfortable the key to your growth as a runner?

Perhaps.

Shelly Brazelle isn't one to back down when the going gets tough, even if that means finishing a race with a broken hand!

But that wasn't the only obstacle she faced on the way to the podium that day: the temperature set a new record for hottest day ever!

Fingers crossed, races are going to be a regular thing again soon(ish).

If you're like some of the runners I know (and coach!), you already have a pretty full slate of races for the rest of 2021.

With that in mind, preparing for a return to racing is going to be a little different this year than it has in the past.

And as you might expect, I have a few suggestions to (hopefully) help make your preparations go a bit more smoothly.
