In this interview, I chat with Allie Kieffer (@kiefferallie) in studio who is currently training in Austin. Allie needs no introduction as she has recently finished 5th and 7th at NYC with a 2:28 marathon PR. 

In this episode, we talk about her reactions to the Boston Marathon, overcoming injury, her rise in the sport, leaving her coach Brad Hudson, and much more. 

If you aren't inspired by Allie, then something is wrong! Thanks to her for being so willing to open up and share in a real/raw way.

Also, for those interested in the Houston goal-setting event, here are the details:

In this special edition episode, I bring on former Berlin preview guest Johanna (Jojo) Gretschel to recap Boston as well as preview and predict the races in London on Sunday. The women go off on Sunday in London 4:25 AM EST and then the men start at 5:10 AM EST. Races can be streamed on NBC Sports Gold or watched in the US on the Olympic Channel.

Will Kipchoge win yet again? If so, can he go after his world record?

Can Mo Farah challenge him?

Who wins the battle of women champions as all 4 of the last Major Marathon winners battle on the women's side?

Can Mary Keitany win her 4th London?

How will Emily Sisson do in her debut and can she beat training partner Molly Huddle?

Plus, picks and predictions from me and Jojo! 

In this final episode in the mini-series, we answer your questions from the prior episodes including:

- What happens if you wake up with a low HRV score on race day?

- How should you think about macro nutrient/meal timing through out the day?

- What products do we recommend for protein supplementation?

- How should older athletes think about recovery and nutrition?

- What additional tests do we recommend in addition to the regular annual blood work for unexplained muscle weakness & fatigue leading to a progressive decline in running performance?

And more...

Starting next week, Jason Brooks and Dr. Noah Moos will be hosting a spin-off podcast that will continue to post weekly on these and related topics. That podcast will be available soon on various podcast platforms like itunes. In the mean time, look for new episodes starting next Wednesday here: humanperformanceprojectpodcast.libsyn.com.

In this episode, I interview director Sanjay Rawal to discuss his recent documentary - 3100: Run and Become - on the Self Transcendence 3,100 Mile Race. In this race, athletes run 3,100 miles over the course of 52 days around a half-mile city block in Queens, NY. That's 60 miles per day in the heart of the NYC summer.

In our discussion, we talk about the story behind the race as well as the athletes who do it. Plus, we cover lessons that might be gleaned for your own running and training.

In this episode, we complete our mini-series on the Human Performance Project, discussing agile coaching and health care. We discuss how to listen to and measure your body and then how to adjust your training and lifestyle accordingly. This includes discussions on heart rate, heart rate variability as well as genetic markers and key blood values.

Plus, we announced that we will have a bonus fifth episode in the mini series just to answer your questions. If you have questions, please submit them to chris @ roguerunning.com in order to be included in the next episode. 

In this episode, I jump straight into an interview with Katie Visco who has plans to run across Australia this summer. Katie is an ultra runner who 10 years ago became one of the first women to ever run across the US on a solo adventure. We talk with Katie about the reasons behind both journeys, what is involved in preparation, and how she is training to cover 30+ miles per day through the Australian Outback.

My hope is that you are inspired to take the first step on one of your dreams by hearing Katie's story.

Our Boston Marathon weekend coverage continues with this special edition interview with Justyn Knight from the Reebok Boston Track Club. Justyn is a 2-time NCAA Champion from Syracuse. He ran the BAA 5K this morning and finished 3rd only 3 seconds back of winner Hagos Gebrhiwet. Justyn breaks down the race from his perspective and then shares stories from his running past, present and future. Plus, he gives really good advice for Boston Marathoners after my final question. Listen to the end for that!

Thank you to Reebok for connecting Justyn to me for this interview. You can follow Justyn here:

Live from Boston... I break it all down on how Marathon Monday will go down, including opening thoughts on how Boston racers might manage the potential weather. Listen in to get my predictions for the races as well as insights from the elite press conferences, including discussions I hold with almost all of the top Americans.

Plus, follow along on Monday on Facebook live (www.facebook.com/roguerunning) as I do the live call from the Oofos pop-up at 344 Newbury Street, just a few blocks from the course.

In this episode of the Human Performance Project mini-series, we are joined by very special guest and Olympic 1500m gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz (@mgcentro) who trains with the Bowerman Track Club. 

For this episode, we talk about things to consider within diet and nutrition in order to optimize performance including discussion on Matthew's own approach to nutrition and how that is now evolving as he approaches 30 years old.

From peeing on pH paper to see if you need more veggies to talking about macro nutrient balance and race weight, this episode has a bit of everything on this topic. 

If you do have questions, please send those to [email protected].

In this episode, I start with a few current events, recapping the World Cross Country Championships and Emily Sisson's recent 10K (and Olympic Qualifying Standard) at Stanford.

Then at 26 minutes, we turn to an interview with Molly Dykstra, one of the coaches from our Rogue Training groups based in Dallas (www.roguetraining.run). Molly coaches a half marathon group for us there based out of the Mockingbird Run-On/JackRabbit store.

Molly has big goals to earn her first Boston Qualifier, and in this interview, we talk about how she collapsed within sight of the finish line (and her goal) on her last attempt. Then, we talk about what she needs to do now in training to finally get it done. I think everyone with Boston goals will be able to relate to some part of Molly's story.
