Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-504 of the RunRunLive podcast.

This is a race week episode. I am writing this Intro 5 days out from the Mesa Marathon. As you are listening to this I may be out on the course!

In today’s episode we have a great chat with Dr. Courtney Conley from Gait Happens. We have a great conversation about running gait and foot health. She really knows her stuff and you can tell she’s passionate about helping people stay on the roads.

I see in my notes that they gave me a coupon code RunRunLive10 – not sure what that gets you but you can look up GaitHappens.com and see what services interest you.

So, yeah, I’m racing this week. It’s been a good training cycle. I learned a lot. And I’ll talk about that in Section One.

In section two I’m going to give thoughts on a personal power seminar I sat through this week. Because it’s kinda bugging me.

Hello my running friends. I hope this episode finds you well, whether you are struggling in the deep, dark, depths of winter up here in the northern hemisphere or the pounding, dry, desiccating, hot rays of the sun down under.

Today we talk to David who has a story to tell about running across one of our New England states recently.

But, before I go any further, I need to share a milestone. I did it! I published the first o f my Apocalypse novels. It’s called After the Apocalypse, a Pandemic Survival Story, Book one: The Old Man.

I’m very excited and proud and somewhat exhausted.

It’s a beautiful 362 physical pages that you can go buy if you like science fiction or like my writing or just want me to feel like a success!

The best place to buy it for me is on my publisher’s website www.booklocker.com – just search for it there or search for my name and you’ll find either the physical version or the e-book. I will get to an audio book version at some point, time and capital permitting.

You can also find it anyplace they sell books, like Amazon or Barnes and Noble. If you want to be really supportive you can go leave a review on one o f those sites, or forward the link to your social networks. Tell a friend as they say.

In section one I’m going talk a bit about the peak training cycle I’m in and how am navigating it. In section two I’ll talk a bit about the emotional rollercoaster of the publishing process.

It’s been a busy couple weeks. I’ll try to be brief!

On with the show.

Hello and welcome to Episode 5-502 of the RunRunLive Podcast.

This week we’ll repost a recording I did earlier in the week with Adam and his daughter Cassidy. Adam and I go way back to the beginning of the running podcast explosion. He and Eddie Marathon and I ran the Chicago Marathon in 2012, maybe, I dunno, would have to check the pictures.

This is a long recording so I’ll skip the philosophizing for the week.

The topic we kind of talk about is why you should consider getting a coach, (among other topics). But, I do think a good coach is like a good team member, where they fill in strength in areas you may be weaker.

They help you see and avoid the patterns in you self-destructive behavior.

This is where so many ‘get-better’ behaviors go awry. We think people aren’t doing what they think and say they want to be doing, because they don’t have the knowledge or the information. That’s seldom the case. The knowledge is freely available. There’s actually too much information.

There are probably 10 -20 reasons they are not changing or adapting behavior on the list above ‘lack of knowledge’ – and those are the things that a coach can help with.

Accountability and structure alone are major needs for me to be successful.

I don’t need coaches, I need parents!

But you see what I’m saying. The coach can help you find what those blockers are and get around them.

Anyhow – if you need the unique type of coach that Adam is, give him a call, he’s in a place in his life, like I am, where helping other people is really fun.

Outro:

OK campers you have chit-chatted you’re way through the end of episode 5-502 of the RunRunLive podcast, now you can go back to hiding under the bed like a border collie in a thunderstorm.

I’m back running this week. My weight is on target. My fitness is good.

But of course I had a setback.

I got sick.

So let me tell you my story. I heard you like stories.

I had my race stuff on. I was getting ready to get in the car and head up to Salisbury to race the Hangover Classic 10K and jump in the ocean.

When my phone rang.

And I’m not going to go into the horrifying state of the American health care system but Instead of racing I spent the day hanging around in hospital emergency room with my mom, who it turns out had Covid.

I don’t think I caught Covid, at least the test kit doesn’t think I caught Covid, but I caught something. I should have been doing a big build weekend for my marathon, but instead skipped those workouts.

I’m just now getting back to it, but I’m less than a month out from the target race with a long run right now of 13 miles. So it’s going to be another learning experience, although I think I know this lesson by heart, but we can always hope for the ‘marathon miracle’.

And that’s it.

Got 2-3 weeks of build left. Let’s see what I can do!

And we’ll see you out there.
