#352 - I did an earlier episode helping older runners keep running. This week, I focus more on the strengths that keep older runners on the road or trail. There are some key differences between younger and older runners, especially in mindset, so I hope I can help you out, no matter your age or skill.

#351 - When I started running, it was not easy trying to find information on running. I relied on Runner's World Magazine. That was in the 1980s. RW was a top-notch magazine back then. I loved it so much! I would read through each issue at least three times. I saved them up too and eventually would cut out articles I especially loved and saved them long after the whole issue was gone. I found other running magazines I loved. Progress, technology chances many things and it's changed the printed word. Most magazines are gone, including most running magazines. Today I focus on what happened to them, including the eventual demise of Runner's World, which, in my opinion, suffered greatly by not sticking to running, instead, following a different path. Let's go back in time and take a look at some of the great running magazines and what made them so great.

#350 - This week, I talk about some things that I always do as a runner and some things I never do as a runner. I'm sure you may guess what some of these are, but I bet you won't guess all of them! And, I'm also pretty sure your list will be a little different. It's a fun thing to think about; there's so much in running that this list entails, that I know you'll have fun with it! Enjoy!

#348 - What you eat is one of the most important aspects in your running. "Garbage In, Garbage Out" is a popular phrase and with good reason because it's true. If you eat less than quality type food, your running will suffer. This week, I take a couple past episodes on running nutrition, combine them and make it focused to further help your runs. Eating right for your runs and races is one of the hardest parts of running to get right. It's mostly trial and error, but there are few things to follow. I hope I can help out.

#347 - Sometimes a race you love, you look forward to every year is discontinued. It leaves a hole in your heart, because that race meant so much to you. This week, I talk about a handful of races that meant something to me and others because they're no longer around. There are a variety of reasons why races are canceled, Covid being the biggest one in recent years. But there are other reasons. Did I not mention a race you miss? You can email me and tell me about it. Give me the name of the race and why it was so special. I'd love to do a follow up add-on to another show with a few more discontinued races.

#345 - You found the PERFECT shoe. You love this shoe. Everything about this shoe makes running SO MUCH FUN. And then it happens. The running shoe company comes out with a new model and it's not the same shoe! NOT AT ALL! It fits completely different! And not in a good way. Everything you loved about this shoe is gone! It's a completely different shoe! Why did the shoe company betray you like that? Because that's what it feels like, betrayal. This week, I write an open letter to shoe companies stating a few reasons, the above is just one, why we runners get frustrated with shoe companies. If I inadvertently left off something you think I should have included, please email me and I can include a follow up in a future episode.

And don't miss my book review on the latest Steve Prefontaine biography: The Front Runner: The Life of Steve Prefontaine by Brendan O'Meara!
