#343 - After running for a while, we learn so much about ourselves and when we're capable of doing. Perhaps we learn we're stronger than we ever thought we were, or that the many hours we spend alone on the trails are the best hours of our lives. But no matter how long we've been runners there are certain truths that we learn. Some of them we learn quickly and some we learn over time. This week, I review some truths that I've talked about in earlier shows and some are new. Many of these are my opinions that are from my experiences. Yours may be different and that's amazing. We each should have our own list of Uncomfortable Truths that grow and change over time as our running changes and grows over time. Let me know what you think!

#342 - This week, I talk about Czech runner Emil Zatopek who many consider the greatest runner of all time. Although there are others who could also be considered this, He could definitely worthy of the title. His story is fascinating and inspirational and well worth discovering. Zatopek's intense workout routines helped create the training that today's professionals runners use. But he had an energy that wouldn't be stopped. If we every day runners can share just a little of his enthusiasm and energy and grit, we can go a long ways in our running journeys! All links used in this episode are on the show website.

#341 - One of the ways European Ultraraces are so different from American ones is that you'll see many more races use trekking poles in Europe. They know that these skinny sticks can help them in their races. This week, it's all about trekking poles and why you might want to use them! I help you differentiate between the types, how to see if they fit and most importantly, how to use. Trekking poles might be the missing puzzle piece you've been looking for!

#340 - Over our years as runners, we go through A LOT of gear. Some, we find, is no longer useful to us, or we find a better product and we put the old item aside. This week, I talk about various things I no longer use in running. How does it compare with your list, if you decide to list the items you no longer use? Is it completely different or do we have similarities? I also end the episode on a positive note and talk about a couple items I always take on runs with me. All links are on the show website!

#339 - So, you're on your run and all of a sudden, you come across a flight of stairs, either going up a trail or a hillside in the city. Do you groan to yourself before you tackle them? Do you turn around and run some place else? Or do you look forward to them with wild abandon? This week, I help you love stairs, well, OK, LIKE stairs, because they really can help to make you a better runner. So, next time you come across a flight of stairs, don't turn away! Make them part of your running success! All links are on the show website!

#338 - This week, I have a secret I want to share with you. Maybe what I tell you in this week's episode has never been shared with you before, so let me be the first! This just may change your running! If you've been struggling or if you get stressed out due to races, perhaps this episode can help. The pressure of racing is on us runners all the time, but there is another way! That's what it's all about this week!

#337 - The meteoric rise of ultraraces has created a few growing pains. Some of these are to be expected. With more and more road runners turning to trail races, it's no surprise that ultraraces are getting crowded. With crowds come problems. Some of the problems can be avoided with proper planning, but maybe not all of them. I talk about the positives an negatives in the rise of popularity of ultras this week. You may or may not agree with some of my opinions. Feel free to email me if you have some ideas of your own. I'd love to hear from you!

#335 - This week, I share my 20th year of sobriety with you and what it means to me. 20 years, wow! Sometimes, I can't believe it's been that long. I'm so happy in sobriety, life is so much better when I'm not fighting with myself to escape from reality. I also talk about what I think of runners who say they're "addicted" to running. I don't mind saying that I'm not too happy with that phrase and I explain why it may be a problem. If you have substance abuse problems and want help, it is here for you. I include resources on the show website and you can always contact me; I'm here to help you. Life is too beautiful to waste.
