#293 - This week, I talk about my short but wonderful trip to Lake Tahoe and Echo Lake and how important it is to get away to the place where that recharges your batteries. The Sierra Nevada Mountains does that for me like no place else. I know there's a place that you like to go to when you feel the need to re-energize. No matter how brief, it is better to go for a short stay than no stay. I also talk about my terrific training run and I finally figured out why I fell on that fateful day last December. It was a big week of discoveries for me and I'm so grateful to be able to share it with you!

#292 - A lot of components go into successful running. One of the most important is proper breathing. It may seem such a simple thing; we breathe air in and out. But is it just that easy? As is usually the case, there are a few more important keys to understand to help you on your journey to being a better runner. I'm right there with you! As I talk about each subject, I'm learning with you. Efficient breathing is something that can always be practiced. Even the most experienced runners can still work on their breathing skills. I hope this episode helps you on your running adventures!

#290 - You might have heard of fastpacking before. It's the lighter, speedier little brother of backpacking. It's a thrilling way to see much more of the back country than a day trail run! This week, I explain what it is in detail and why it might be of interest to you. It's an excited way to get your trail running and camping all in one! Join me as we take a deep dive into another way to see the Great Outdoors!

#289 - Experienced CDT thru hikers tell those who wish to hike this longest of the Triple Crown American trails to "embrace the brutality". It's the longest and the hardest of the three. This week, I talk about the trail, including the history, what makes it so tough, the few FKTs and why it is of interest to runners! We are so blessed to have these incredible trails and even if it's just for an afternoon hike, make a section of the CDT be on your bucket list! 

Also, don't miss my adventure at Mt Tamalpais this past weekend! It was quite an experience. And this time, it didn't involve the ER, thankfully!

#288 - Jenna Burris is a licensed professional counselor and trail runner. She's found a way to combine her love of nature with her love of helping people and invented the term Trail Therapist. Though she didn't start Eco Therapy, she is a part of this new field in therapy and it's refreshing to hear about a new way to help patients. She shares this and more in this week's episode. Therapy is very much needed in our world and it's nice to know that someone is offering an alternative to a stuffy office!

#287 - With the creation of the Internationalist running shoe in 1980, Nike created a road running shoe that helped spark the tsunami of running that even today hasn't stopped. But by the mid-1980s, Nike realized that there was a lot more money to be made outside of running; lots and lots more money. They abandoned running for the greener pastures of trendy fashion. That was the corporation's first step away from running for Nike. 

Throughout the years, Nike has had several missteps, some perhaps not deliberate, but many, could have been handled in better, more appropriate ways. In this week's episode, I talk about Nike's downfall as it relates only to running. Of course, they have had other problems not-running related. I'll leave that for other shows. 

Much of the information I talk about comes from Kara Goucher's book "The Longest Race". There is a link on the show website if you would like to purchase a copy.

#286 - We runners have lots of habits. Some are not helping us achieve our running goals. This week, I help you improve your training by eliminating the habits that are hurting your running and I also give you some positive reinforcement by giving you some positive habits that you should continue! Many of these I've covered in past episodes, but none have been brought together in one episode. No matter how experienced a runner you are, it's never too early or too late to improve our running!

#285 - The 2024 Olympics in Paris begin July 26th and it promises to be a pretty spectacular games for running in general! There are so many track and marathon stories that these games will be a great one to follow! I give a brief breakdown to the different American entries in the track events and marathon. The track finals took place in Eugene these past couple of weeks and what a time it was! Many records were broken and memories made! I can't wait for the Paris Games! 

I also talk about my 10-mile trail run and hike this last weekend. It was pretty amazing, my best of the year.

#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!
