Send us a text#169 - There is no other marathon, no other race like the Boston Marathon. It is the longest running marathon in the world. Many spend their lives working to acquire a coveted qualifying time. And that time gets more difficult every year. No other race has the history, the legends and the drama of Boston. To honor the 2022 Boston Marathon, this week is all about this legendary race. If you are running Boston this year, email me and tell me about it. I would love to share it in Tales of the Trail! Email me at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com I also talk about my race this past weekend and how good it feels to be back running!For all information talked about on the show, please go to the show website at: https://www.martharunstheworld.com/Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

In his autobiography, his and co-author Sue Oaks talk about how a meager childhood led to a bountiful, loving adulthood, filled with giving to others to help them in their lives. When you hear Dickie, you will be inspired! At the young age of 84, he is always thinking of others! And of the next race! All links, including where you can buy his book, How Running Saves Lives, please go to the website:  https://www.martharunstheworld.com/To send me your race report, please email me at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#167 - Eating disorders in sports is nothing new.  And unfortunately, in running, it isn't going away any time soon. The pressures to look good an run faster mashed with new radical diet plans can be recipes for disaster. I go over some of the concerns surrounding eating in running, as well as give information and resources to those looking for answers. Everything covered in this episode can be found on the website: https://www.martharunstheworld.com/Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#166 - If ultrarunning were easy, everyone would do it. Because it's so difficult, very few do it. And very few do it with the compassion and emotion that Richard Gallegos has. He talks about his journey into running, including his weight loss and his struggles. He talks about his incredible self-supported race across Florida, as well as some of his favorite races! You'll be inspired and awed. Also, keep listening to hear about my first running race since my surgery! I'm so excited to be back as a runner!!! For all information, please visit: www.martharunstheworld.com to send your very own race reports, please email me at: martharunstheworld@gmail.comSupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#165 - We have a lot of choices of running shoes. The market is flooded with every type of shoe imaginable. If you like a really thick, padded sole, there's five different kinds for you. If you only want a little padding, they are there for you. If you want a big difference between the drop from heel to toe, you got it, none, you got that too. But for the minimalist runner, there are only a few choices. Xero Shoes is one of those. Steven Shasen and his wife started the company out of the idea that running as close to the way humans ran for thousands of years is the best way. And he's here to tell us why. Whether you agree or disagree with him, it's great to learn how and why he started the company. Or, if you're like me, I knew very little about this type of running shoe, so I was very happy to learn why this is a very valid shoe choice for many! All links from the show are on the website, including all information about Xero shoes: www.martharunstheworld.com if you want to s

This week, he tells us his road leading up to competing in Iron Man length triathlons, as well as why a New York City native moved to the cold northern Midwest.

Send us a text#163 - This week, I talk about a few running myths that need to be broken. I start it off with dispelling the myth about the word: failure. Why are runners today afraid to use this word? We runners should not be. We learn from failure and we can grow and become better runners by embracing our failures. I also talk about the quotes from a famous fitness influencer and motivator and why a lot of what he says isn't true. It's time to break away from unicorns and lollipops and know that in reality, we runners are way stronger! For all information about MRTW, or to become a Patreon patron, please visit the website at: www.martharunstheworld.com to submit a race for the Tales of the Trail race report, please send to the email at: martharunstheworld@gmail.com please send your name, the race name, race location, date of race and why it was great or not-so-great.  Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://

Send us a text#160 - We all know about Western States, Hardrock, HURT, Badwater 135. We also know how difficult it is to get entry into these races. But there are hundreds of other great ultra races across the US you may have never heard of. This week's episode is about discovering twelve of them! I picked a cool one from a different state for each month of the year. I think it's important to support local race companies and this should help a little. Each race will have a link on the website so you can check it out yourself! I'll also be doing another episode in the future on international ultras, because there's plenty of those we should know more about! For all information, please go to: wwwmartharunstheworld.com if you want your race report read in Tales of the Trail, please email it: martharunstheworld@gmail.com Please send your name, the race name, the date, location and how it went. Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunsthewo
