Runner's World, Deena Kastor, and How to Choose Between The Things You Love Oct 22, 2015

Show notes

Doug and I spent last weekend at the Runner's World Half and Festival in Bethlehem, PA. The races, people, and events were a total blast, but what stood out to both of us the most was a lunch chat with Deena Kastor. During that chat she talked about her struggle between juggling a career as an elite runner, and being a mother. In today's episode, we discuss our own struggles between balancing the things we love, and what we can learn from Deena's approach.

How to Run Farther Oct 15, 2015

Show notes

Last week episode of No Meat Athlete Radio was all about running faster. This week we're exploring the other big improvement runners desire ... running farther. Let's face it, a new distance is intimidating. Each new mile is uncharted territory. How will it affect your body and mind? Do you need to eat or drink more while on the run? And how on Earth do you make time for all the training? Our goal with today's episode is not only to answer those common questions, but provide you with a better understanding of how you can start running farther, and achieving your goals.

How to Run Faster Oct 08, 2015

Show notes

Wish you could run faster? I think we pretty much all do. After my first marathon was a bust, I needed to improve by over 100 minutes in order to reach my Boston Qualifying goal. And you know what? I did it. But it wasn't easy. In today's episode, Doug and I discuss the common mistakes that keep runners from improving their running speed, and what steps and workouts will actually make you faster.

When to Quit (And When to Keep Going) Sep 14, 2015

Show notes

If you've listened to the past few episodes, you know co-host Doug was headed into this past weekend's 50k ultramarathon under prepared, and that pain was expected. Crying at mile 15, now that was unexpected. Half way through Doug found himself faced with the decision to quit or dig deep and keep pushing, even when he didn't want to. In today's episode, we recap that race, and discuss the challenging of knowing when it's best to give up, and when to continue moving forward.

The Guilt Free Running Slump Sep 03, 2015

Show notes

Several months ago, I announced my marathon comeback. My intention was to focus on the marathon distance for the first time since qualifying for Boston. Fast forward to today, and instead of being in week 8 of an intense training cycle, I'm hardly running at all. I'm officially in a slump. But you know what? I don't feel guilty about it. For the first time -- maybe ever -- I'm not beating myself up for failing at my original goal. I'm at peace with this lack of motivation and training. As it turns out, NMA Radio co-host Doug is dealing with his own running slump of sorts, only he's 1 week away from a 50k, and his training looks a lot different than mine. In today's episodes, we talk about those slumps, what we're dealing with, and how we're embracing the lack of motivation instead of fighting it.
