In this episode I talk about workouts! There are no magical workouts to get you to your goals, consistency and figuring out what works well for you and what you enjoy doing are what matters. I go over the different types of training sessions that I prescribe for my athletes and what the quality workouts look like. I also cover my personal favorite workouts!

In this episode I chat with Elisabeth Scott. Elisabeth is a runner, run coach, and the founder of Running Explained which offers evidence-based training, coaching, and education for runners of all abilities and experience levels! You can find her on Instagram @runningexplained and be sure to check out her podcast, The Running Explained Podcast in particular episode 4 in which I was a guest on her show.

She and I chatted about how training builds mental strength for race day, how to build a plan for your race, tips for managing the mental challenges in a race and took time to respond to a couple questions that were sent in to us.

Please enjoy my conversation with Craig Hunt! 

Craig grew up in New Milford, Connecticut and had an incredibly illustrious career in high school before going on to run for Central Connecticut State University. Since graduating college in 2014, Craig has coached at the collegiate level at Grand Canyon University, Western State Colorado University, and University of Illinois. He now is the lead running coach and personal trainer at the Physio Shop in Flagstaff, AZ. Craig's post collegiate running career has included a 2:15 marathon PR which earned him a spot at the Olympic Marathon Trials in Atlanta in 2020 where he finished 45th out of 175 male finishers. Craig has also represented Team USA at the Road 50k World Championships where he finished 10th! In the past few months Craig has taken two shots at the 100k distance finished 6th at Hoka Project Carbon X2 in a blazing fast 6:55:42 which is a pace of 6:41 per mile for 62 miles!!! Craig then followed that up three weeks later at the Black Canyon 100k where he led the race for over 50 miles as he pursued a golden ticket into Western States.

Today I chat about running form! I often get asked about proper running form and the truth is we are all built differently and therefore everyone has their own unique way of moving. In this episode I cover general tips for running form and how you can improve your running form over time to become more efficient and lower your risk for injury. 

Here is a video of some form drills

Today I chat about why I prescribe training for my athletes mostly in time and perceived effort instead of distance and pace.

On this episode of the podcast I chat with one of my clients and a fellow run coach, Sara Manderscheid. Sara and I started working together in the summer of 2020 and we were training for the Mesa Half Marathon on February 13th until that event was canceled due to covid-19 concerns. She adjusted her goals to train for a half marathon time trial which we ran together on February 11th. We go through the process of staying motivated when your race gets canceled and give some tips on how to get back into running if there are no races on your schedule! We also discuss the challenges we faced in this time trial and what lessons Sara is taking from this experience into her next objective!

In this episode I give my recommendations for how to safely run through the winter: how to warm up appropriately, what gear and clothing to wear in specific weather and how to motivate to get out there and run in the winter months!

Leg swings video by Jay Johnson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=korxBhGzzJE

Suggested warm up before winter runs: Leg swings exercises, 30-60 seconds reverse lunges (alternating legs) and 30-60 seconds of body weight squats. You can also add in some jumping jacks and other dynamic stretches and drills to get the muscles warmed up and reduce the risk of injury. 

On this episode I sit down with my friend Chase Harris who I recently coached for his first 50 mile ultramarathon! Chase and I both ran the Arches 50 Miler put on by Madmoose in Moab, Utah on January 30th 2021. Chase finished in a time of 8 hours 46 minutes and 14 seconds which was good for 12th place overall! I managed to snag 3rd overall in a time of 7 hours 35 minutes and 26 seconds.

I start off this episode by giving my recommendations for how to run your first ultra! Then Chase and I recap the Arches 50 in depth. This was my first podcast interview and unsurprisingly I had some technical difficulties. The audio is not as good as I wanted it to be, but it is a learning experience and I will do better in the future!
