Our Run Club

We were gonna talk VO2 Max and ground contact time and running dynamics. But when we got into our research we just couldn't focus cause it's so darn hot outside. So instead of diving into all that nerdy running stuff, we decided we'd complain about the heat a bit, and maybe give you a few tidbits that can help you beat the heat when you're out there on your run. 

This week Razor is on vacation so Eric sat down with Coach Mwangi of the Run First Running Club. We cover his running history, why he got into it and why he loves coaching so much. We touch upon his coaching philosophy and how he approaches mileage and training for his athletes. Sit back take a listen to Coach's journey from Kenya to Minnesota to Rhode Island! Check him out on insta @coachmwangi and on his website www.coachmwangi.com

This week is show and tell on Our Run Club. We bring along some of our favorite running items and share them with our listeners. We also have our usual witty banter and a new set!

This is the one we'll be known for. Our Run Club for this episode turns into Our Book Club. We talk all about our favorite books this episode and cover college running, nutrition, mindfulness and a whole lot more. Check it out! 

We take on a slew of would you rathers in this episode. Whats a would you rather you ask? It's a segment we introduced way back in the early days of the podcast. Would you rather rock 2 inch split shorts or 7 inch basketball shorts? Would you rather get caught in a rain storm or a snow storm? You get the idea. Tune in and feel free to send us your own would you rathers! 

This week Ray and Eric give their top 5 favorite summertime running spots. It's getting hot and humid around little rhody and the two of us are searching for spots to get a run in that are a bit cooler and more condusive to summer time running. We hope that listening to our list will help give you some ideas on your search for a great Summer running spot. 

This week we hear from our good friend Junior and he asks us all about barefoot running. This is a topic we've encountered a ton here at Our Run Club and we have some thoughts. Kick back, kick off your shoes, pull off those socks and listen in as Ray and Eric talk barefoot running. 

Ray and Eric sit down and chat with Jake the man behind BattleAxe Running. It's a running brand and club that has used social media to encourage and inspire other runners to get out there and get moving. As Jake says we usually only see the beginning and the end of running on social and he wanted to create something that celebrated the battle, the middle of the journey. Join us and you'll learn how he started the brand and how it became much more than selling hats and t-shirts. He also gives Eric a tip on how to manage pushing a running stroller!

It's heating up over here at Our Run Club and we're thinking about some of the best items to hit the road with to help cool us down or make our run a little more comfortable. 

Sit back, relax and listen as Eric and Ray give you their Top 5 Summertime Items List. 

This week we run away from zombies, run every street in our town, and compete in a bunch of virtual races. Well we don't actually do that we talk about doing that. Episode 66 is all about keeping it interesting. It's tough these days without races to train for to keep ourselves running, so we provide a few options to keep running interesting during this crazy time!
