Episode #105: Training for Trail, Part 2 Dec 23, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we continue our series on trail running with special guests Jason Brooks and Paul Terranova, both trail running badasses themselves.

To ground our discussion, we discuss the top "failure points" in ultra-marathons and then help give you strategies to address them from blister management to GI distress. You have to be a problem solver on the trail, and it starts with getting educated on the major challenges.

Within the discussion, Jason and Paul advise Chris on training for his first ultra next August, the Squamish 50 Miler just north of Vancouver.

Episode #104: Geeking Out with Ben Rosario from NAZ Elite Dec 16, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Chris leads an interview with Ben Rosario, self-described running nerd and the head coach and director of NAZ Elite. Ben coaches top US marathoners Stephanie Bruce, Kellyn Taylor, Scott Fauble, Scott Smith and others.

We start with his take on recent current events in running - the US Marathon Champs at CIM and the US Club XC Champs in Spokane, WA. Ben had athletes competing at both so he talks about their results and his take on the races at the front of each.

Then, we turn to other questions including:

- What was it like racing in the 2004 Olympic Trials where his Brooks/Hansons teammate Brian Sell made the race with a bold race from the front?

- What has he learned from Eliud Kipchoge?

- What core training principles drive his team's results?

- What are examples of marathon-specific, long-run workouts used by his team?

- How does he prepare his athletes for the mental demands of the marathon?

- What is he looking for in athletes that join his team?

And more...

Also, look for more details on the book he mentioned - Inside a Marathon - here:

Episode #103: Goal Smashing with Cate Barrett and Jessie Barnes Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we interview two Rogue athletes from Austin who run different paces but are on the same journey. They both ran personal records at CIM a few weeks ago, and we highlight them here to show that pace doesn't matter. It's the work that you do and the journey you are on that matters.

Jessie Barnes (@thejessiest on instagram) entered this CIM cycle with a 4:57 marathon PR and went on to smash it by 30+ minutes on race day to run 4:27.

Cate Barrett (@beingcate on instagram) came in with a 2:54 marathon PR seeking an Olympic Trials qualifier. She got it done with an 11-minute PR to run 2:43 at CIM and secure who spot in Atlanta in 2020.

Both ladies are badasses in their own right and we share their stories here to show how similar we are regardless of pace! Congrats to Jessie and Cate!

Episode #102: The Anatomy of a Breakthrough with Ben Flanagan Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

Thanks to Reebok, we are excited to welcome NCAA-10K-champion and recently-turned-pro Ben Flanagan to the podcast. We start with an intro talking about him as a fan in the sport. Which athletes would he livestream to watch race? Who is he excited to compete against? As a track athlete, what does he think of a marathoner like Eliud Kipchoge?

Then, we turn to Ben as a runner and particularly dig in on his breakthrough performance at NCAAs. As an underdog, where did he find the belief that he could win? How did overcome injury to get there? What was he thinking during the race? And, how does this all apply to the every day runner?

If you are looking for a breakthrough in your own running, then we believe this interview is full of knowledge bombs for the new Reebok athlete.

Episode #101: California International Marathon Race Strategy Nov 28, 2018

Show notes

In our intro we discuss the Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving and give our picks for the US Marathon Championships in Sacramento this weekend.

Then, starting at 35 minutes, we break down all things CIM from the course to pacing strategy. We will have 215 Rogues competing in Sacramento this weekend. Good luck to all who are racing!

Episode #100: Running, A Love Letter Nov 17, 2018

Show notes

For this episode, episode 100 (!), we do something a little bit different and simply offer up a verbal love letter to the sport, to you as audience members, to our podcast group, and to the Rogue community. Listen to our thank yous and shout-outs to those who inspire us to do what we do. Plus, we give a preview of what's coming for episode 101 and beyond!

Thank you all for listening and inspiring us!

Episode #99: NYC Marathon Recap + Building a Maintenance Plan Nov 11, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we start with our takeaways from an amazing race in New York. What do we think of Keitany's performance? Who had the breakthrough results? What does this mean for Shalane? And, does this make us more or less excited about men's marathoning in the US.

Then, at 42 minutes in, we start discussing how to construct a transition or maintenance plan between event-specific cycles. What do you do with your mileage? How do you manage workouts? Should you jump into some "fun" races? And, what should you do mentally during this time.
