#224 -  Once in a great while, I discover a product and company owner and founder that I must share with you! Daina Daniels started Adventurist Soap Company out of her own need to find soap products that are not filled with harsh chemicals that were harmful to her skin. But she also wanted to make them relatable to her passion to the outdoors. It is the perfect balance of high quality products and a love of nature and being outside! Just because we're outside, doesn't mean we always have to smell bad. Daina tells us today why and how she started her company.  I know you'll be as impressed and inspired as I am!

#223 - Big running goals require commitment to those goals. A lot has been written about and talked about gaining toughness for ultrarunning, but what about getting a PR in a marathon or your first 10K trail race? Achieving important running goals takes a lot and to do that, it helps to have a plan. Let's work together this week to take a few big steps towards those goals!

#218 - Kurt Nelson returns to the show! Kurt was a guest previously in 2020 after the Covid lockdowns (Episode #73), when he talked about the best way to deal with our changing world. I say in the introduction that it was in August, when it was in June in case you need to find it. This time, he's back with his terrific new publication: The Brain Shift Journal. This is a great journal that can be used as a running journal or in your every day life! I love it and I know you will want to hear all about it.  Montana Outdoor PodcastA weekly podcast covering the topics and people that make Montana’s Outdoors like no...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

217 - I'm in the hospital getting my matching hip scar! I'm getting the second hip replacement, this time the left hip. I'm quite excited about it for it means that running is just around the corner! Sure, it will be a hard road back, but I'm not afraid of hard work and running is worth it. This week, I talk about how I got it and what lays ahead. Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

216 - After reading a post from American ultrarunner Camille Herron about the exclusion of road ultrarunners Ultrarunning Magazine's Runners of the Year awards, I thought about the ways certain runners practice snobbism in our sport. It's not a nice thing to think about, but it does exist. Some of it I find quite amusing, to be honest, but all of it needs to be brought in the sunlight. So, have a listen this week. And remember, just because someone runs a different distance than you, doesn't mean you're better than them.  Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#215 - Shawn Anderson sets big goals for himself. I mean, ride a bike across the US, twice (!!) type goals. He likes to set them up to challenge himself and he succeeds in finishing them. He walks many thousands of miles, and he talks to me this week, how he found his love of walking as well as some of his adventures and challenges as well. He's a walker, author, motivational speaker and a very cool guy! You don't want to miss this episode!

#214 - It took several decades of convincing to add women's track & field into the Olympic Games. When it was finally added, an unassuming 16-year-old Betty Robinson surprised everyone by winning the first Gold Medal. But that wasn't the end of her story. What happened next and how she bounced back and returned to the Olympics is the real heart of her story and shows us that we should never give up, even when all seems lost. Betty was a true Hero and so inspiring, you'll marvel at her strength and determination! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#213 - Last week was the worst week I've had in a very long time. I talk about it in this week's episode. It was all due to "operator error", as many things are, and I should have known better, but there it is. I go into full detail on the show. In the past, it would have crushed me, but not anymore. I'm stronger than I've ever been and I can handle what life throws my way. I also learn from my mistakes. Life has a way of teaching us lessons if we listen. They say we only learn from our failures not from our successes and I've learned a few valuable lessons. So, nope, I'm not quitting the show, I'll be around for a very long time! Ask a Farmer Answering questions and sharing information about food and farming in CanadaListen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#212 - Jamie Anderson and Brian Anderson-Needham are my guests this week. They are the owners of Weapon Brand, a terrific company teaching people of all types the correct preparation to defend themselves in all types of situations. I realize this is quite a controversial topic in the running community and I wanted to do a proper episode with the right guests and I think I've done it. Jamie and Brian are experts in the industry and give amazing answers to many of the questions asked. A couple words about this episode. This was recorded at the height of the January storms we had in Northern California. I lost power almost at the end of the episode, so we had to resume the interview a week later. And also, for whatever reason, the last bit of the episode is cut off. So I profusely apologize for that. In all the four years of doing this show, this has never happened. With that said, it is still one of my favorites and a very important subject. I hope you enjoy it! All of the Weapon Brand information can be f

#211 - If you want to be inspired, motivated, impressed and see superhuman feats of strength, you don't have to spend a ton of money, sit in seat at a stadium, watching overpaid professional athletes. Instead, volunteer at an ultrarace! You won't just be sitting watching, you'll be a vital part of each runner's success, helping them get to the finish line. And that is an incredible feeling! And if that's not enough, if you're not already running ultras, it may just inspire you to start training to run one!   ONE Extraordinary Marriage ShowIs your marriage everything that you want it to be?

#209 - This week, it's the 4th Anniversary show! I'm celebrating by asking runners a couple questions: Can we stop doing a few things and can we do more of a few things? It's a light-hearted look at our sport and some things that we do that maybe we shouldn't. Is there anything that I left off? Do you disagree with anything on my two lists? Let me know.
