#284 - There are A LOT of things we can do to prepare for a race, or a long training run. I'm including training runs in this episode as well, as the preparation and recovery are usually the same things, aren't they? Many things we can prepare, other things we can purchase (who said running is a cheap sport???). Maybe you do some of these things already and others you hadn't thought about. In any case, it's fun to think about some alternative ways to do things and to give it a new perspective! 

Links to many of the products I talked about are on the show website. I was not paid for or received free any of the products I talked about.

#283 - Dr George Sheehan was a venerable fixture in the 1980s running world. He was a columnist in the once-great Runners World magazine and many of us looked towards his wisdom and incredible running monthly. This week, I talk about his writing, his running and how he enriched many of our lives. 

I finish the episode with a race report from my first race of the year, Coastal Trail Races' San Francisco Half Day race in the SF Presidio! It was a wonderful day! I'm so happy to be back running and racing! 

All information can be found on the show website.

#282 - Each year, I like to spend an episode reflecting on sobriety and running and what it all means. In an era where alcohol and drugs are pushed on us in nearly every facet of our lives, it's good to take a step back and see if they are helping or hurting us. I have never hidden my sobriety, it's extremely important to me and I share some reasons why in this episode. 

If you would like to become sober and need help I am here for you. You can contact me through the show website.

#281 - Summer means more sun and MORE heat! It's been a few years since I last did an episode on heat training, so I thought I'd do an updated one so help us maximize our summer training. We can make the most out of the lighter days and the nicer weather if we plan ahead and take some precautions. Let's have fun this summer and keep running!

#280 - Mile races are not very popular anymore. But when we think back to mile races, we may think of Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute mile for the first time and how incredible it must have been. Or, we think of how this distance evolved into the 1500-meter race we have today. Or maybe, you think of the Beer Mile races that are rising in popularity today. There's something about the Miler to me that conjures storytelling, history and the romanticism of running. That's what makes it such a magical distance. Listen to this week's show to it's history, to the men and women who broke records and to a mile race that you can enter today!

#279 - As the temperatures rise with summer, so do runners' hydration needs. This week, I cover what we should do to stay on the roads and trails in the upcoming months. It's not just about drinking water either! 

Also, don't miss my appreciation statement at the end of the show!

#278 - The Pacific Crest Trail is one of the three Big Three American trails that also includes the Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide. It is an incredible treasure of a trail: 2.650 miles of picturesque trail encompassing some of the most beautiful landscape you will ever see! This week, I cover the trail's history, what to expect if you want to enjoy a part of it, or all of it and some incredible feats of some very wild FKTs! The PCT is a national gem and we should all make an effort to see at least a few miles of it!

#277 - Unless you only run 5ks or are a casual runner and don't care about races, you will need to include a weekly or a bi-weekly long run. Long runs are terrific, but sometimes it's hard to psych ourselves up for getting through them. One long run might be a breeze, while another you may need some extra help! I'm here for you. I give you some hacks to get you through so you can help do your best in your next race!

#276 - This first episode on running gear covers what we runners use during our runs - watches, shoes, hydration systems and clothes. There will be a second episode covering what we use before and after our runs. There will probably be a third episode covering everything I forgot because we runners like a lot of stuff! And don't miss my rant about woman's shorts! 

PS: After I recorded this, Garmin did an update to Garmin Connect that I absolutely HATE. I will include this in the third episode, as I couldn't include it in this already finished one.

#275 - Besides running, I love to read. I know many of you do too! This week, I share eight of my favorite books on running and what makes them so precious to me. Some of the authors have been guests on my show while others are talked about for the first time. I hope you enjoy them. Please let me know if you've read any of them and if I should have included any I left off. All links can be found on the show website. 

Stick around after the book wrap up as I have a couple ending thoughts I want to share with you.
