Welcome to episode 2 of The Pillars of Ultrarunning! In this episode, Melody and Jacob share what they know about strength and mobility (aka, the toppings of your pizza!) Buckle up because this episode is chock-full of information. Don't hesitate to reach out to us on our Instagram or send us an e-mail if you have any questions!

 Link to Melody's free strength guide for runners:
https://melodybateman.biz/free-downloads-new/

Strength Training Guidelines (mentioned in the podcast):

• What parts of the body should I be focusing on for cross training?
  • Specifics: Glutes/Hips, Core, ankles and feet, Single leg, Plyometrics
    • Glutes/hips: to stabilize your pelvis.
    • Core: protects your back. 
    • Ankles and feet: Runners need a strong base of support. 
    • Single leg: running is a unilateral sport! 
    • Plyometrics: plyometrics increase your number of fast-twitch muscles which helps improve your sprinting and speed ability. 
  • Lower body: calves, hamstrings, quads
    • Calves: Our calves push off the ground when we are running 
    • Hamstrings/quads: The stronger your hamstrings and quads are, the faster and less injury prone you’ll be. 
  • Upper body: arms (biceps/triceps), shoulders (deltoids, rotator cuff muscles), chest (pecs), and upper back (lats, traps, rhomboids)
    • Upper Body: upper body is often neglected by runners, but is SO important, because it improves your running posture, and helps prevent fatigue and also improves your endurance. The more aligned and strong your WHOLE body is, the more efficient and powerful you’ll be as a runner.

Jeremy's advice for a first time 100 mile racer:
-If you're thinking about signing up for a 100 mile race, stop thinking about it and DO IT!
-Expect feelings of doubt, and trust that if you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you'll make it.
-Quitting is more painful than pushing through and finishing

BJ got into running when he stepped on the scale for the first time in years and realized he was over 200pounds. After losing 40lbs in 4 months, he stepped up his running game and ran his first 50mile race this year! Here's the crazy thing...He ran the whole race on a stress fracture!

BJ says that the greatest lesson he has learned from ultrarunning is "who you are is not what you do." It took a stress fracture to humble him, and even thoug he didn't podium his first 50 (like he was hoping to), just finishing was well worth it as he grew tremendously as a person.

BJ Herndon works for "Arkansas Better Dads" and has a wife and two daughters. He loves all things outdoors, and leads worship at a weekly Young Adult night service.

BJ's advice for a first time 100 mile racer:
-Don't do too much running on pavement (this is how he fractured his tibia!)
-Sign up for an ultra and just commit to it
