September 14, 2013 Crickets-3.5 - Noise Complant!
Crickets 3.0.3My dear friends, I apologize effusively and throw myself like a penitent at your furry feet, but the challenges of travel and work and training and racing and, God help me, sleeping every once in a while I have been brought to bay – I have been finally cornered me like a mangy rat and there is no way I can put a full show out this week. It is a dirty shame, because, with so much going on I have a lot to share, but alas no time to share it. Instead I’m going to lay at the altar of your listening skills my Pocatello marathon report today and try to polish up a full episode for next week. Over the last month I have been in California, Idaho, Atlanta and Phoenix! This weekend I’m driving up to Presque Isle, in Erie PA to race again! I raced an 8 mile leg of the Winnepesauke relay last weekend in New Hampshire and crushed it, averaging 7:15s over a difficult hilly course. I had the punk rock on my headphone and was laughing out loud at how strong I felt. I passed a couple other racers, many years my junior and it felt great to be in the game. So – my friends – light those candles and put on some sexy music because I’m about to tell you the story of my Pocatello Marathon. Enjoy, Pocatello Marathon - http://www.runrunlive.com/pocatello-marathonSo this week I was out in phoenix at the Phoenician (which is one of those hoity-toity resorts where the nouveau and not-so rich pretend to be members of a leisured cast – I was at a conference) – but one great thing about the Phoenician is that it backs up against Camelback Mountain. Yesterday morning I got up before dawn and ‘ran’ up the mountain from the Cholla Trail head. There is no better exhilaration then standing on the summit of Camel back in the wee hours glistening with sweat in the cool desert air and watching the sun rise over Phoenix in the long shadow of the mountain. I am super-happy to have regained the point in my training where I can roll out of bed and go run up a mountain. As I was descending, skipping along, bubbling with the goodwill of life, the following song cycled onto my headphones and I had one of those iPod moments where it all synced – so enjoy your week and I’ll see you out there.

August 16, 2013 The RunRunLive 3.0 Podcast Episode 3-268 – Posing with Sean Donachy
Hello and welcome to episode 3-268 of the RunRunLive podcast. Today we are going to cover some interesting ground. We have an interview with Sean Donachy a coach from upstate New York who follows and teaches the Pose Method of running form.
The interview is 28 ish minutes long so I’ll try to be brief.
In Section one I’m going to take a real-to-life job situation and talk you through it. This is the situation of a professional who has a meeting with their boss to talk about compensation and some thoughts on the right and wrong way to do this.
My training has been fantastic. I’ve had a great cycle. I’ve gotten a solid 22 and 24 mile long run in with a number of really strong step up runs.
In section 2 I’m going to talk you through the concept of macro-cycles and periodicity in long training campaigns.

August 02, 2013 Episode 3-267 – To run around the world
Hello and welcome to episode 3-267 of the RunRunLive podcast.
Today I have some good stories to tell you. Our interview is with Kevin Carr who is off to run around the world. Yes indeed, he is setting off on an 18,000 mile run. Why not?
In section one we are going to talk about making progress and in section two I’m going to give you my race report from the 24-hour around the lake ultra endurance run that I ran a marathon at last Friday night.
The short story is my legs didn’t show up for some reason and I had ‘one of those races’. It was a struggle. I’m not going to over analyze. I’m just going to take it for what it is and see what I can learn from it. We’ll have some rambling about this later – so stay tuned!

July 19, 2013 Episode 3-266 – Iram Leon lives life
Hello and welcome to episode 3-266 of the RunRunLive podcast.
It is the hot month of July up here in New England.
Today we talk with Iram Leon who is living his life. I struggled with this interview because I’m not Geraldo and I don’t have a fascination with pathos but I do believe we have something to learn from the transformative nature of Iram’s life and that transformation comes in many different forms.
In Section one I’m going to talk about living life and in section two I’m going to explore an archeological expedition into my medal rack.

July 12, 2013 Episode 3-265 – Brian and the 24-4-24 SnowDrop
Introductory Comments:
Hello and welcome to episode 3-265 of the RunRunLive podcast. I’m going to see if I can attempt a weekly schedule for a little while. I may fail, but it’s worth a try.
If everything goes right, we’ve got a good show for you today. I talk with Brian Gruender who we’ve spoken with before when he ran 135 miles solo across Wisconsin. He’s got a new challenge with some friends this month.
In Section One I’ll share some thoughts I had on how we perceive people of great accomplishment as somehow magic or lucky and the perils in that.
In Section Two I’ll give you my Bay of Fundy race report. It’s a bit long so I’ll go easy on the opening and closing comments.

June 28, 2013 Episode 3-264 – Steve Chopper Rides Across the English Channel
Hello and welcome to episode 3-264 of the RunRunLive podcast. I’m coming to you live from Sweden this week where I’m working with one of my guys on a client presentation. Pretty place. I’ve never been here before. I’ve got a Friday afternoon meeting so I could not get a flight back on Friday and they didn’t have any flights until Sunday, so I’ve got a free tourist day on Saturday and I’m going to explore Copenhagen.
It’s been busy. I was down in Atlanta last week then I drove up to Maine/Canada to run the Bay of Fundy marathon and had an adventure there. The short story is that the course ended up being quite difficult. I had a decent outing but it wasn’t a course I could race a BQ on.
I’m still healthy and my body is strong, even with all the travel and sleep deprivation. I’m forcing myself to take a healing rest week this week while I’m in Europe. I’ll do a couple exploratory fun runs but I’m not going to start training again until next week. Let the old body heal a little before a push again.
I’ll get a Fundy race report out over the next couple weeks as part of an episode. It was a fun adventure and I think you’ll be entertained!
We’ve got a great show for you today, Episode 3-264, I have chat with my old podcasting buddy Steve Chopper about a long distance bike ride and some of the other crazy stuff he’s got going on.
In Section One I’m going to talk about how to say ‘no’. In Section Two I’m going to share some fun I’ve been having mashing up cardio and strength workouts.

June 14, 2013 Episode 3-263 – Brad Warner – HardCore Zen, Punk Rock and Monster Movies
We have a great show for you today. I have an interesting chat about transformation and Zen with Brad Warner who is an actual Zen Master. I like to bring you these non-running, but related conversations to help us think outside the box. As we know from experience, thinking outside the box can help us find ‘the third way’.
In section one I’ll talk about change and the elasticity of human systems. In section two I’ll talk about heat running – not the typical ’10 things to remember’ post but a deeper dive into my experience last weekend running 20 miles in the teeth of it.

May 31, 2013 Episode 3-262 – Dave Griffin – After the Last PR
This is your amiable host Chris and today we’ve got a worthy show for you. I talk to Dave Girffin about his book “The Last PR” and we delve into some of the things we’ve learned from running.
In Section One I’ll talk about avoiding hubris and the difference between ‘good’ and ‘great’. In Section Two I’ll take a different look at the 1600 meter workouts and my current training program to see if we can tease out some of the reasons behind why it’s so successful for me and how to extend the method.

May 18, 2013 Episode 3-261 – A transformational life with Tara
Hi. This is your old friend Chris. Welcome. Today we are going to talk to Tara who is a tremendous example of someone who has transformed their life. I would say she has transformed her life with an exclamation point. You can learn from that.
In section one I’m going to talk about how I stimulate myself into creativity when the need arises. And in Section 2 we’ll talk about ‘moving the curve’ in your race efforts.
