Hey Running Friends!

Today I'm sharing with you a tool that you can use to help you set goals, especially if you are an older runner.

Age grading is something that you may have seen if you race, but what does it mean? It is something I ignored for a long time, but now that I know what it is I am able to use it in a meaningful way.

Hey Running Friends!

It's January in Buffalo, NY and we are having a VERY cold winter. I'm starting marathon training this week, so I will be out there on a pretty consistent basis 5 days a week. It can be hard to get out that door anytime (see last week's episode on running motivation if you have trouble with that), but when the "real feel" is is in the negatives it can be brutal!

Today's episode is about what I do to keep warm in this frigid weather and share my tips for staying upright in the snow and ice.

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.
