Welcome to episode 3-256 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Today we have a long interview with Kristina who earned the moniker “Danger Girl” by converting herself from the couch to a competitive downhill mountain bike racer.  And then, after crashing too many times she had to limp away from that sport and to spite her doctors took up trail running and now is a competitive ultra-runner.

I’m going to give you some ideas about how to look and sound brilliant during moments of truth in the life balance section today and I’m going to philosophize on the ‘rest week’ in the training section.

Today we have a good chat with Matt who has one of THE most interesting stories of life change I’ve come across yet. It starts with the brutal murder of his mother and his descent into a life of drugs and weirdness in the 1970’s – but he saw the light. He climbed out of it and he’s now an ultra runner and happy balanced guy. He was nice enough to open up to all of this in his new book called “Life Song”. And he and I chat about it.

I have been training really well. I’ve had some very promising workouts and I’m quite hopeful about this current campaign and my recovery. At some point I’ll write up a summary piece, my final thoughts, on Plantar Fasciitis, because it is a bugger.

Hello and Welcome to episode 3-254 of the RunRunlive Podcast. Today we have a great show for you. Today I chat with Dave Spandorfer who has started a company to leverage his running to change the world. It’s a great chat.

And the Derry 16 miler.

Hello and welcome to episode 3-253 of the RunRunLive podcast. My mission is to help folks understand and transform their lives. We have a great, and special, show for you today. I have a awesome interview with the one and only Dick Hoyt from team Hoyt.

I also continue with part three of my life balance framework series by giving you my ‘system theory of self’ as promised. These first three pieces on life balance frameworks lay the foundation for more detailed tactical and inspirational pieces and give you something to think about as well.

I also do a final piece on heart rate training.

Hello my friends and welcome to Episode 3-252 of the RunRunLive podcast. Hope everyone enjoyed their Saturnalia and winter solstice celebrations.

We have a great show for you today. I have a conversation with Zoe Romano, a young woman from Maine who decided, as a young woman to run across the USA unsupported.

You and I have been witness to a few of these run-across-the-USA stories. Many times they do it for charity or to call attention to something but what really fascinates me is the people like Zoe, who just decide one day to go. I’m fascinated with the psychology and try to get into this with her in today’s conversation.

What’s stopping any of us from pulling up stakes and going? What is this wild wanderlust in us? I think you’ll enjoy it. I did.

I also have a practical piece on heart rate training and continue building the ‘finding balance’ series with a foundational piece on understanding and defining self.

I hope these pieces don’t come off as too deep or instructional. I feel that it’s necessary for me to share the context of my life balance thoughts so you can see the logic tree behind what I’m talking about. It is intended to be thoughtful and helpful – so please take it as such.

We have a great show for you today and we have a lot of ground to cover so strap on your yaktrax and hang on to your running buddies and let’s get to it.

It’s a cold Massachusetts Friday afternoon in my life. I’m finishing up some tasks on my task list so that I can burst forth from my home office and into the trails for an easy 7 miler with the wonder dog. I’ve got a set of live Grateful Dead on the headphones that my friend, that inglorious bastard of a demented genius, the Zen Runner tipped me off to.

Today we will enthrall you with an interview o fJon Metz who is a professional Triathlete coach. I chat with him about how he helps people get it all done. We will also assault your senses with a piece on how we internally value our running efforts – that I’m calling ‘My Best Run”.

Lastly I’ll hit you directly in your pouty lips with a tactically instructional piece on how I think about the structure of life balance. I was really excited about this piece until I wrote it up. I found it a bit lifeless when I focused more on relaying information and less on storytelling. I think my gift, if I can call it that, is storytelling. Like that wild-eyed shaman decanting tall tales in front of the crackling primeval bonfire.

Hello and Welcome to the final episode of the RunRunLive 2.0 podcast. This is Chris your host and we have a mediocre show for you today, Hah! See? All these years I’ve been saying ‘we have a great show for you today!” I was lying to manipulate your emotions. How do you feel? Used? Emotionally deceived? Betrayed?

Not me. I feel great. In today’s show we will do a little of this and a little of that including a long chat with my running buddy Frank who was the interviewee of episode 1 of the RunRunLive Podcast in June of 2008. 

We’ll do a little reminiscing and we’ll talk about what the future holds and we’ll thoroughly disregard copyright laws. Did I say that out loud? Damn, I gotta adjust my meds.
