Our Run Club

We're going through some unprecedented times here with COVID-19 affecting our daily lives. One respite is getting our runs in, we know a lot of people have had their races cancelled and group runs cancelled. With that in mind, we thought we'd share a few tips on running solo, tune in and you may get a few ideas on how to keep yourself entertained and motivated when running by yourself. 

Waistpack or Fannypack? Thats the question...the transition from cold weather to warm weather can get a little bumpy. So Ray and Eric put together their top 5 items to get you through the unsettled weather. 

This week we sit down with Gilbert Taylor, we talk about overcoming injuries, the wonder of the running community and so much more. Gilly started with walking and built his way up to running a few half marathons, listen in to hear all about his roller coaster ride of a journey to where he is now. 

This week Ray and Eric cover some awesome tips for staying safe while out on the run. Things like making sure you run facing traffic, dress in bright colors and more! They even share some stories of a few close calls they've had while out there on the run. 

This week Ray and Eric chat all about some of the things that can get in the way of the run. Family, weather, injury and so much more. Listen in and ya may just learn how to overcome them!

Maybe you've just started running and you're hanging out at a local 5k, you over hear someone talking about that sweet fartlek run they had last week...wait what? Fartlek? Oh yeah I'm totally going to negative split this race, huh? Oh me I'm just going to do this as a tempo...a tempo? Runners have their own language and in this episode Ray and Eric dive into running lingo! 

Culture, is a tricky topic but when it comes to running it becomes a lifestyle. The people are friendly, welcoming and warm, though they do like telling you all about their running. Tune in as we talk all about the culture.

This week we have another very special guest on our podcast. Dave is one of our favorite run club members (oh you guys say that about every run club member), you're right we do! But Dave is a pacer on our pacer squad and is a runner who started his running journey a little later in life. He shares his story about why he started and whether or not he'd prefer to face a Mountain Lion or a Bear.

This week we talk all about mindset, well we talk a little about our runs for the week and maybe a little bit about coffee but mostly we talk about mindset. We dial into our mindset when training for a 5 miler or a marathon, some approaches you can take and how you should approach your next race like a puppy. 

This week on Our Run Club we sit down with on of our favorite run club member Bryna Hebert, she talks all about her impressive running career and how the Marathon just may be her favorite distance. Tune in and you'll stories about running through thigh high mud, conquering the 50 mile distance and running with the buffaloes.
