The Running Public

Ryan is a Senior Lecturer at Vanderbilt University, with a PhD in Education Policy and a background in Psychology. This episode is a direct follow up to the Two Types of Athletes episode (those who get things done and those who find reasons not to). We explore the idea of what to do if you are the type who doesn’t “get things done no matter what.” 

Recently, we’re discussed Speed Sprinkles, Muscular Endurance work, Medium Long Runs, and Long Runs. Today, we discuss how to schedule these into your training, how they should feel during, and how you should feel the day(s) after. 

Joshua returns to talk through all things Ultra running: training, racing, strength training, fueling, and much more!

Don’t let the perfect workout get in the way of a good workout! Sometimes we’re strapped for time, completely lacking motivation, or simply in a funk. At these times, we need to keep the ball rolling rather than skip out on a workout entirely. Exercise can be a powerful stopgap when training isn’t feasible. 

The training we attempted, the races we completed, the lessons we learned, and our plans for 2024!

Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald join us to talk about how pain is incorrectly used to identify and rehab injuries. They’re recently written a book on the subject, Pain & Performance: The Revolutionary New Way to Use Training as Treatment for Pain and Injury., and they have some bold, fantastic ideas that all athletes need to hear! 

 

Sometimes we try to get too cute with our training paces. We try to be too precise and we get stressed over tiny little details that probably don’t impact us noticeably in the long run. Just how accurate do we need to be during quality sessions?

Fresh off his 50 mile World Record, Charlie stops by to talk his journey, his training, and his future goals in this sport!

Is there benefit to doing some really seriously fast running, even for long distance runners? If so, how often should we do it to avoid interrupting our usual training?

One of the great stories, minds, and personalities of the endurance world, Josh joins us to share some of his background, some of his training wisdom, some laughs, and a whole lot of entertaining chat!
