Runrunlive 4.0 - Running Podcast

Hello and welcome to episode 3-266 of the RunRunLive podcast. It is the hot month of July up here in New England. Today we talk with Iram Leon who is living his life. I struggled with this interview because I’m not Geraldo and I don’t have a fascination with pathos but I do believe we have something to learn from the transformative nature of Iram’s life and that transformation comes in many different forms. In Section one I’m going to talk about living life and in section two I’m going to explore an archeological expedition into my medal rack.  Hosted on Acast.

Introductory Comments:Hello and welcome to episode 3-265 of the RunRunLive podcast. I’m going to see if I can attempt a weekly schedule for a little while. I may fail, but it’s worth a try. If everything goes right, we’ve got a good show for you today. I talk with Brian Gruender who we’ve spoken with before when he ran 135 miles solo across Wisconsin. He’s got a new challenge with some friends this month. In Section One I’ll share some thoughts I had on how we perceive people of great accomplishment as somehow magic or lucky and the perils in that. In Section Two I’ll give you my Bay of Fundy race report. It’s a bit long so I’ll go easy on the opening and closing comments.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello and welcome to episode 3-264 of the RunRunLive podcast. I’m coming to you live from Sweden this week where I’m working with one of my guys on a client presentation. Pretty place. I’ve never been here before. I’ve got a Friday afternoon meeting so I could not get a flight back on Friday and they didn’t have any flights until Sunday, so I’ve got a free tourist day on Saturday and I’m going to explore Copenhagen. It’s been busy. I was down in Atlanta last week then I drove up to Maine/Canada to run the Bay of Fundy marathon and had an adventure there. The short story is that the course ended up being quite difficult. I had a decent outing but it wasn’t a course I could race a BQ on. I’m still healthy and my body is strong, even with all the travel and sleep deprivation. I’m forcing myself to take a healing rest week this week while I’m in Europe. I’ll do a couple exploratory fun runs but I’m not going to start training again until next week. Let t

We have a great show for you today. I have an interesting chat about transformation and Zen with Brad Warner who is an actual Zen Master. I like to bring you these non-running, but related conversations to help us think outside the box. As we know from experience, thinking outside the box can help us find ‘the third way’. In section one I’ll talk about change and the elasticity of human systems. In section two I’ll talk about heat running – not the typical ’10 things to remember’ post but a deeper dive into my experience last weekend running 20 miles in the teeth of it.  Hosted on Acast.

This is your amiable host Chris and today we’ve got a worthy show for you. I talk to Dave Girffin about his book “The Last PR” and we delve into some of the things we’ve learned from running. In Section One I’ll talk about avoiding hubris and the difference between ‘good’ and ‘great’. In Section Two I’ll take a different look at the 1600 meter workouts and my current training program to see if we can tease out some of the reasons behind why it’s so successful for me and how to extend the method.  Hosted on Acast.

Hi. This is your old friend Chris. Welcome. Today we are going to talk to Tara who is a tremendous example of someone who has transformed their life. I would say she has transformed her life with an exclamation point. You can learn from that. In section one I’m going to talk about how I stimulate myself into creativity when the need arises. And in Section 2 we’ll talk about ‘moving the curve’ in your race efforts.  Hosted on Acast.

Today we have a great chat with Dave Salvas who is getting ready to run across NH and is a veteran runner from New England. We go through the natural evolution, the ebb and flow of a running life. I think it will give you something to think about. I’m going to talk up my thoughts on how to practice leadership in a crisis in section one – having had time to think about and practice these skills at different points in my life. Remember this is just my opinion and thought – I’m not a professional so make your own choices folks. In section two I’m going to talk about my love affair with the 1600 meter track workout. Sexy stuff that.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello my friends and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast Episode 3-259. I think you’ll understand that today’s show is going to be a bit different. I had already interviewed Dave McGillivray about the Boston Marathon last week, before the race, and I think it’s appropriate to air that today. I also have written and recorded my race story for you. It was hard for me but I thought I owed it to you.It’s my story. It is petty and incomparable to the horrors that others saw and experienced and are still experiencing as I record this. But it is all I have for you so you’ll have to bear with me as I struggle through it and take it for what it is. I need to thank everyone who reached out to me on Monday to make sure I was ok. Some of you who I have never heard from before…what’s up with that? I won’t bite ya, you know.  I got some messages like “I’ve been listening to your for 3 years and I hope you’re ok!” You know 3 years qualifies as a common law marriage in Massachusetts, so I’m entitl

We have a great show for you today. I have a great chat with Pastor Dean Smith about his efforts to use running to transform the lives of his community. In section one I am going to give you some thoughts on permission. In section two I’m going to analyze my fitness and what it means for Boston. It’s been a long winter but as I look out my window there is no snow. There is sunshine. And the chance of being reborn with the spring.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we have an interview with famous author and barefoot running pied piper Michael Sandler. I had read Michael’s book, “Barefoot Running” last summer when I was in the midst of the plantar fasciitis doldrums. I love the idea of being able to lope off into the woods unshod for hours on end, but I never got that far in my experiment. He’s getting ready for a book tour for his new book “Barefoot Walking”. I tried to avoid the usual lines of conversation with Michael and we have a nice chat about the spiritual nature of running. I’m going to include a piece on the ARP therapy that I got – it comes in a funny story. And I was going to talk about applications of military history, but I think I’ll talk about how to deal with seasonal funks instead!  Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to episode 3-256 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Today we have a long interview with Kristina who earned the moniker “Danger Girl” by converting herself from the couch to a competitive downhill mountain bike racer.  And then, after crashing too many times she had to limp away from that sport and to spite her doctors took up trail running and now is a competitive ultra-runner.I’m going to give you some ideas about how to look and sound brilliant during moments of truth in the life balance section today and I’m going to philosophize on the ‘rest week’ in the training section. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we have a good chat with Matt who has one of THE most interesting stories of life change I’ve come across yet. It starts with the brutal murder of his mother and his descent into a life of drugs and weirdness in the 1970’s – but he saw the light. He climbed out of it and he’s now an ultra runner and happy balanced guy. He was nice enough to open up to all of this in his new book called “Life Song”. And he and I chat about it.I have been training really well. I’ve had some very promising workouts and I’m quite hopeful about this current campaign and my recovery. At some point I’ll write up a summary piece, my final thoughts, on Plantar Fasciitis, because it is a bugger.

Hello and Welcome to episode 3-254 of the RunRunlive Podcast. Today we have a great show for you. Today I chat with Dave Spandorfer who has started a company to leverage his running to change the world. It’s a great chat.And the Derry 16 miler.

Hello and welcome to episode 3-253 of the RunRunLive podcast. My mission is to help folks understand and transform their lives. We have a great, and special, show for you today. I have a awesome interview with the one and only Dick Hoyt from team Hoyt.I also continue with part three of my life balance framework series by giving you my ‘system theory of self’ as promised. These first three pieces on life balance frameworks lay the foundation for more detailed tactical and inspirational pieces and give you something to think about as well.I also do a final piece on heart rate training.

Hello my friends and welcome to Episode 3-252 of the RunRunLive podcast. Hope everyone enjoyed their Saturnalia and winter solstice celebrations.We have a great show for you today. I have a conversation with Zoe Romano, a young woman from Maine who decided, as a young woman to run across the USA unsupported.You and I have been witness to a few of these run-across-the-USA stories. Many times they do it for charity or to call attention to something but what really fascinates me is the people like Zoe, who just decide one day to go. I’m fascinated with the psychology and try to get into this with her in today’s conversation.What’s stopping any of us from pulling up stakes and going? What is this wild wanderlust in us? I think you’ll enjoy it. I did.I also have a practical piece on heart rate training and continue building the ‘finding balance’ series with a foundational piece on understanding and defining self.I hope these pieces don’t come off as too deep or instructional. I f

Hello and Welcome to the final episode of the RunRunLive 2.0 podcast. This is Chris your host and we have a mediocre show for you today, Hah! See? All these years I’ve been saying ‘we have a great show for you today!” I was lying to manipulate your emotions. How do you feel? Used? Emotionally deceived? Betrayed? Not me. I feel great. In today’s show we will do a little of this and a little of that including a long chat with my running buddy Frank who was the interviewee of episode 1 of the RunRunLive Podcast in June of 2008. We’ll do a little reminiscing and we’ll talk about what the future holds and we’ll thoroughly disregard copyright laws. Did I say that out loud? Damn, I gotta adjust my meds.  Hosted on Acast.
