Hey Running Friends!

Finding motivation to keep our running consistent is something we all have to deal with from time to time.

Today I'm sharing with you the ways that I try to keep from burning out and get myself out the door, even if I am not training for a race.

Hey Running Friends!

Today we are  talking about running with a partner. Last week I went over the benefit of running alone.  Dave is back today as we talk about running together.

We are in the car, so some of the audio is not ideal.

Hey Running Friends!

Welcome to Season 3! I can't believe this podcast is already a year old. It has been so much fun spending Monday mornings with you all. I really enjoy the feedback I get from you in the form of emails, and your questions are usually turned into episodes so keep them coming!

Today I'm sharing with you some of the benefits I have found when I run alone. If you have been following me for a while you know that I mostly run with my husband. Once a week, though, I do run alone.

If you have to run by yourself, take a listen to some of the advantages of that to help you with motivation if it can be hard for you to get out there.

Hey Running Friends!

Today's episode is the last one of Season 2! I'll be back January 3, 2022 with a new season.

I have what's known as hip drop, and I only knew it because of a picture taken of me during a race. When you see someone with the condition, it is very obvious to the person seeing it. What's not so obvious is if you are the one with it.

There is a mirror test you can do (see below) to look and see for yourself. Exercises to strengthen the hip and glute area can be helpful.

Hey Running Friends!

Today I'm sharing with you some great reasons you may want to look into hiring a run coach, even if you are just starting out.

I promise this isn't me trying to sell you my services! I only coach runners in the Buffalo area, I currently do not do any virtual coaching, so give this a listen if you've ever wished someone was there to take you to the next level.

Hey Running Friends!

Today's episode is really short. Just a quick word on having a running mantra in your back pocket for getting through a hard run.

In the podcast I talk about a book called "Mindful Running" by Mackenzie L. Havey. I refer to her as Mackenzie HARVEY, which is wrong (not sure why, maybe Havey was autocorrected to Harvey and I just read what I had without thinking). Anyway, check out my reviews of the book below.

Hey Running Friends!

Today I'm sharing with you what I do for strength training to help my running.

Strength is important for those muscles you use on the run, and those that you don't. Your core is what keeps you balanced, weak hips can cause hip drop and contribute to injuries, glutes need to be worked...there are so many benefits to getting stronger.

Hey Running Friends!

Today I'm giving you my take on running watches. I won't give you which one is the "best"! But I am talking about the things I like about them and some of the features that can help you out.

Since I recorded this, I learned how to build my own running routes in the Garmin, so I'll link you to that post over on wrinkledrunner.com
