Fdip225: The Key Note Iâll Never Get to Give http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/KtX88H1p_-A/index.php I’m never going to be asked to give a speech in front of a crowd of fellow runners.  It’s not going to happen; and by saying that I’m not implying that the absent request is a travesty; there’s a good reason why I’ll never be asked: because while you and I are friends and there are at least ten of you listening right now: generally speaking I am not what you call: popular.   I’m not very well known, and never expect to be burdened with fame…not enough at least to be asked to speak to a crowd of runners at the 2010 John Hancock Sports and Fitness Expo - Runners Seminar.   To be honest, that’s probably a good thing.  I think you know that I tend to be a bit of a rogue; you never know when I’m going to go off on a goofy comedy riff or a screaming anger-thon…quite honestly, when I clip on this microphone I’m not even sure what’s going to happen…so, it’s probably in John Hancock’s best interest to suppress my speech at this and every Boston Marathon expo.   As I was thinking about this, while out on a long run (where my best thoughts are formed) I asked myself what I would do if I got the call to speak?  What if the event organizers called me up tomorrow and asked me to present the key note address at the Boston Marathon Health and Fitness Expo; one of the largest gatherings of runners in the world?   Well, obviously the first thing I’d do is panic, then resolve to respectfully refuse: but opportunity is not a lengthy visitor, so as adverse as I am to speaking in public or standing in the spotlight of attention: I know that I’d have to somehow suck it up; and take to that podium and speak.   I wouldn’t enjoy the experience; I would dread the days and hours prior to my presentation: but despite all that I know that I’d accept the invitation, because like it or not: I do have something to say.   What I’d have to say to a large gathering of fellow runners would require a number of speeches.  This being the 225th episode of Phedippidations, I’ve venture to guess that I’d have at least 225 themes that I’d want to cover…but if I only had time for one topic; one keynote message to transmit from my mouth to the ears of an audience of runners it would be what you’re about to hear.   So imagine, if you will, that it’s 2:00 in the afternoon on Sunday, April 18th 2010; the day before the 114th running of the Boston Marathon.  You’re sitting in a packed room at the Hynes Convention Center on Boylston Street in Boston, just a quarter mile up the road from the finish line of the Boston Marathon.   You’ve been walking around town and the expo floor for the past three days, and you’re just about ready to head back to your hotel to rest up for the night in preparation for the big race.  You’re tired, a little anxious and your patience is getting a little frayed when someone familiar steps up to the podium….   Show Links: <a href="http://ww.runnetcommunity.org/">http://ww.runnetcommunity.org</a> New Podcast: <a href="http://www.middleagedathlete.com/">http://www.middleagedathlete.com</a> Send in your race reports to <a href="mailto:joe@middleagedathlete.com">joe@middleagedathlete.com</a> “Underground” by Black Lab off the Album Give Us Sugar <a href="http://blacklabworld.com/music/give-us-sugar/">http://blacklabworld.com/music/give-us-sugar/</a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6SbaEGNCrCzSkMYp3ycvnlmiMGA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6SbaEGNCrCzSkMYp3ycvnlmiMGA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6SbaEGNCrCzSkMYp3ycvnlmiMGA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6SbaEGNCrCzSkMYp3ycvnlmiMGA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?i=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?i=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=KtX88H1p_-A:98B215LA4So:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Phedippidations/~4/KtX88H1p_-A" height="1" width="1"/> Topic Fri, 5 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT http://steverunner.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=578179# Steve Runner No http://media.libsyn.com/media/steverunner/FdipVid225.mp4 steve@steverunner.com (Steve Runner)the Weekly PodCast for RunnersThoughts, opinions and observations composed during distance long runs.running,marathons,runnerhttp://steverunner.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=578179#http://media.libsyn.com/media/steverunner/Fdip225.mp3 Fdip224: The Call of the Miles http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/xrNGYQeUqmU/index.php Todayâs episode is the first to talk about the phenomenon of Ultra Marathons. There is obviously a lot more to this topic than I can fit in a single goofy little podcast, and as a homework assignment to you and myself, I recommend that we pick up a copy of the book âUltra-Marathoning: The Next Challengeâ by Tom Osler and Ed Dodd published by World Publications. The book appears to be out of print, but you can still pick up a few used copies over at Amazon.com. Iâm intrigued about training for and running an ultra someday. This seems like a much different kind of race than Iâm familiar with, and the idea of running 50 to 100 miles or kilometers seems to be an amazing test of the human spirit, and an accomplishment that: as a distance runner, Iâd like to try. Human beings are evolved to be long distance runners; and an ultra-marathon seems like the natural next step progression for anyone who has conquered the marathon and is looking for a new adventure and challengeâout there, on the road.

Iâve heard that phrase before: âRunning is your religionâ and it makes about as much sense as the phrases âcooking is your politicsâ or âsinging is your manifestoâ.  Every time you go out for a run, you are given an opportunity to commune with yourself, with your thoughts and with your God.  The sins of yesterday are forgiven on the roads; that extra slice of pizza you couldnât help inhale; the frustration turned outward anger you expressed at someone who didnât deserve the outlash is suppressed, your soul is made calm, your body serves itâs good purposeârunning takes you to a place that cannot be defined by latitude and longitude. As you run, you develop the deepest commitment; the most serious mindâyour mind begins to focus on âwhere you are and what you are doingâ. And it does you no good to visit this physical monastery only a few times in your life, or on random occasions when you have the time.  You have to visit this place called ârunningâ often; almost everyday if you can.  In other words: If you want to take with you, through the course of your life, the positive benefits of our sport: you have to constantly renew yourself out there on the road. For those of us who believe in God, running is an opportunity for prayer.  You donât have to always pray in quiet places or on Holy Ground.  When youâre out there, running at the perfect pace, feeling the sweat coat your body and moving with the breeze in your faceâyou are being the good animal you were meant to be; but more than that: youâre performing an act that your body was evolved to perform.  This is the perfect place to have a conversation with God. When you run, you are acting more human; and as a homo sapian, or thinking man: you are in community both with God, the creator of heaven and earth and with nature and the universe all around you. Dr. Sheehan makes this point very clearly: Running is a place to commune with God and yourself, itâs a place for psychological and spiritual renewal. Running is NOT a religion.  It is in its very essence: a place.

I thought that for me to tell you that my inbox was overflowing, and that I couldnât possibly answer every email I received would be a fairly vain, narcissistic thing to do.  But then, I realized that for me NOT to say anything about it, and still being unable to dedicate myself to the task of responding to every message sent to me: would be kind of arrogant and untruthful. My Grandmother, Helena Viola Walker, daughter of James and Mary MacDonaldâtaught me the importance of being truthful.  It doesnât matter if your filling out a job application, speaking with friends or typing something on Facebookâyou have to be truthful; especially with friends: because they will always be able to see through you, and if youâre dishonest, few will ever trust what you say. So, the truth is that I wonât be able to answer all of your emails; I wish I could: but with only 118 or so waking hours available to me each week, minus 50 or so for work, 14 or so for producing this podcast, 5 or so for my running, another 5 to prepare for and document the results of my running, that leaves me with only 44 hours every week, or 6 hours a day to drive to and from work, cook dinner, walk the dog, spend time with my familyâlook, you get the idea because youâre in the same situationâand you probably have even less time each week to fit in the things you wish you could make a priority. So, when an opportunity arises for me to multitask, to perform more than one activity at the same time: such as producing a podcast and answering email as Iâm out there getting my run inâI am going to get it doneâbecause itâs not so much how much time we have to do the things we want to do, itâs how we use it.

Because athletes prefer to run distance races in more comfortable temperatures; the Spring and Fall are often preferred seasons for marathons.  Today, in January, weâre getting a couple of inches of snow, and the air temperature wind chill is 10 degrees below zero F, or minutes 23 degrees C; making it a bad day to schedule 114th running of the Boston Marathon or any other 26.2 mile road race. But come Spring, when the flora and fauna of the Northern Hemisphere begins again to flourish: marathoners around the world will toe the line at their races and run in relative comfort, for the most part. Today I want to list for some of the Spring Marathons, scheduled for the spring time: and while this will not be an all inclusive list, it should give you some ideas for races you might want to run as the March equinox draws nigh.

Endurance training and Aerobic development are critical elements in good marathon training program.  You have to put in the time without worried about the mileage, and you have to develop a base from which to launch yourself at your goal. This is the year Iâm going to break 4 hours in a marathon NOT because Iâll be physically fit to do so, but because Iâll have trained carefully, with patience and dedication: when my friend John Ellis tells me to go out and run for an hour up and down the hills of Oxford: Iâll do itâI may not enjoy it at first but once Iâve got a good and healthy base, once my endurance is up to the point where running 26.2 miles non-stop isnât such a big deal anymore: I can work on my stamina and then go into a taper period in preparation for the day that Iâll run a marathon in 3 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds; or less.

Happy New Year.

If I had run the race on my own today, I most certainly wouldnât have pushed myself too hard: Iâm still weeks away from the start of my Spring marathon training, and I just had no reason to push myself too hard, risking possible injury. I had a lot to be thankful for on this day of Thanksgiving; I had my family, my job, my health, and an ankle that was strong enough to let me run a road race.  I had the gift of an entry into Boston, and a good training plan to get me there, with that goal of a sub 4 hour race in the new year not too hard to belive.  And today; I was thankful that my friend Joe challenged me in this 5 mile road race; pushing me to do my best and making me feel like I really might be; once again: Steve Runner.

I get a lot of email that I donât read on this show that is angry, hurtful and hatefulâthe hate you can appreciate I will avoid, but if you disagree with me: thatâs okay.  Why?  Because weâre having a conversation, weâre creating a social bond; and while time and distance will probably negate our ever being able to meet in person, and share a glass of wine, pint of cold ale or a steaming hot coffee: We can use this social media of podcasting, and these responses by email, Twitter and Facebook to create this community; this Run Net Community as we share the open road together and with others. In this episode, Iâll answer some emails and enjoy some good conversations with fellow runners.

Beware promises of un-tested alternative medical treatments or any medical therapy that remains untested by science.  Do not fall prey to the lies and false claims of alternative medical practitioners who seek to cheat you with magical magnets, suspicious serums and tacky treatments.  Trust your doctor and science, and accept the validity of scientifically proven medical therapies regardless of how complex and unnatural these things may sometimes seem. Remember that there are people like Jenny McCarthy in the world who would like nothing more than for you to avoid receiving a flu shot; for her own purposesâ.be that to sell a book, claim her fame or get her nose picked face back on MTVâ.there are charlatans, impostors, con artists, frauds and quacks out there who think nothing of causing you harm through making you believe that un-tested alternative medicines and medical treatments are the best and only way to cure you, keep you healthy and improve your performance on the road.

For me, the goal of running a Marathon in less than 4 hours is important to accomplish for many reasons including self confidence, a feeling that Iâve reached a new level in my running, reclamation of my inner youth, setting an example for my son, earning the respect of those who understand what a sub four means, and being able to look back at my trials and tribulations on the road over the past ten years with a new sense of appreciation for the hard work Iâve put in.  A sub four hour marathon finish will mean that I have stepped it up a notch, even if itâs the only sub four I may ever run; and it will be a personal record that Iâll savor and find pride in with the knowledge that even as a middle aged, middle of the pack slightly asthmatic goofy little podcaster runner: I can do anything.

But I also ask you to think about the idea of giving the gift of yourself this holiday season.  Maybe, instead of heading to the shopping malls this year, you should head to your calendar and start picking out a day or two a week where youâll make a point of going out to dinner or have a few beers or cup of coffee with a friend you havenât spent enough time with this year. Better yet, why not plan to go for a run with a friend? Life is short fellow runnersâyou know this; and one of the main obstacles to enjoying this life is all the stuff that we clutter ourselves up with: physical things like geeky Motorola Droid cell-phones, mp3 players, laptops, big screen TVâs and electronic game consolesâ.Iâm not saying that those things arenât cool: they are; but they pale in comparison to friendship; all we really have to spend here on this planet is timeâ.we convert some of that time into money though employment in order to support our families and live a life with more and better stuff; but the STUFF should not be the purpose of our work...because all we have is time; and we need to use that time in a way that brings joy to ourselves and others.

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/DmxJuBQvmjA/index.php In the course of a long weekend, my friend Joe and I would explore the coastline and harbors of the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia.  Weâd check out rock formations and earthen cliffs, lighthouses and small finishing villages; tidal plains and earthen dykes.  We have lunch at a local German cafÃ, weâd investigate an outcropping of Devonian limestone in a place called Morden and taste locally created wine in vineyards around the Valleyâin short, weâd see the sites, run the course, and race the race in our excursion around the bay.   This is my race report for the Fourth Annual World Wide Festival of Races and my running of the Wolfeville, Nova Scotia Valley Harvest Half Marathon.   Show Links: <a

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/sTvq8XM2OPQ/index.php Nothing lasts forever in this physical universe of ours.  We can talk about the eternal world to come, the kingdom of Heaven, Nirvana, Tian, the Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial kingdoms, the six heavenly planes of Hinduism and the 8 levels of heaven in Islamâbut this planet that we ran upon today, this place: will not last.  The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and in 7.59 billion years from today, it will be dragged from our solar orbit by our sun which will have grown to be 256 times as big as it is today: and the race course of the World Wide Festival of Races will be consumed in fire, forever. But I have to wonder, what will our evil Robot overlords: or any advanced alien civilization that learns about us over the next 7.59 billion years: come to think about us? Will they struggle to understand why we went to war with one another?  Why we murdered and killed each other?  Will they dedicate eons in trying to figure out why weâd gather millions of each other into concentration camps and systematically torture and destroy each other?  Would they try to figure out why weâd kidnap a noble people from a beautiful savannah, stuff them into sailing ships and sell them as property to wealthy people in a new land?  What would they say about a shoe company that treated their workers as slaves, paying them only a few dollars a day and not caring that they had to live in slums while their CEO and sports star promoters earned millions without concern? I have an answer: theyâd think WE WERE STUPID. Yeah, thatâs what theyâd think: theyâd have come to the conclusion that our species had evolved to suffer from a form of brain damage.  Theyâd be happy to know that our planet was about to be consumed by the Sunâtheyâd consider us as a biological disease in the universe; unintelligent and defective.  An intelligent and advanced alien species would pick apart our genome, see that we differed by only ZERO POINT TWO PERCENT, and conclude that whatever caused us to hate each other: it couldnât be because of the color of our skin, or from what continent on the little blue bubble we originated fromâ there could be no other explanation: humans had to be stupid. But if they could see us now, today: running this World Wide Festival of Races; theyâd think differently.  Theyâd have to.  Because today, weâre celebrating our community regardless of our differences; in fact: today we celebrate our differences. This planet is small.  Itâs a tiny blue bubble of life cruising through the cold vacuum of space, and itâs the only place that weâve been able to find which can support life.  Think of this Earth as a life-raft, adrift on itâs own in the Universeâitâs more than just our home: itâs all that we haveâthat and each other.  Today youâre running in an event that celebrates that: we live on a small little rocky life raft, but we have each otherâto care for, to cheer for, and to encourage.  Our lives on this rock are short, but they should be long enough for us to experience love, joy and peace with each other as friends.  Fellow runners: this wasnât some small thing you did today, and today wasnât just another run: you participated, you proved by your example that whatever differences we have in thought, opinion, and observation is what makes our time here, in this Universe special and interesting.  We are so much alike, you and Iâand those little differences that we do have, are something to savor: like the nose of a Cabernet Franc over that of a Malbecâtheyâre both vitis vinifera, but what makes them different is remarkable, and when you blend them togetherâwell, my friendsâ.you get something magical, like a mertiage or a Bordeaux where the sum of itâs ingredients combine to make  a wine worthy of sharing with the world. We are like those grapes, our differences enhance the flavor of our community, and as you run your World Wide Festival of Races todayâthink about how much we have to give to the world around usâ.in living this lifestyle, of savoring our time on the road, of sharing our experiences from the perspective of  our own bodies and how we have no room for hate in our livesânot when there are miles to be run, and friends to be made.

We can chose to be healthy; itâs not a right protected under any governments constitution, but there is a moral obligation for us to live healthier lives so we can contribute in a positive way to the society in which we live.  This radical plan for health care is far less expensive than any program the government could offer, and itâs guaranteed to work: giving you a healthy body and consequently a happier life for the rest of your life.

Governments repress their people; and millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich; and wealth is lavished on armaments everywhere. These are differing evils, but they are common works of man. They reflect the imperfection of human justice, the inadequacy of human compassion, our lack of sensibility toward the sufferings of our fellows.  But we can perhaps remember - even if only for a tirne - that those who live with us are our brothers; that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek - as we do - nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can.â - Senator Robert F.

Like any running technique, this is something you should look into more; and not rely on this podcast introduction as your sole exposure to the method.  Find the way to use your body to itâs fullest without moving in such a way that youâll get injured and youâll be closer to becoming the runner and good animal you were always meant to be.

During the 1920s, he was the best middle and long distance runner in the world, setting world records at distances between 1500 m and 20 km. He is often considered the greatest Track & Field athlete of all time: This is Paavo Nurmi. From Paavo we learn the importance of complete dedication; while most of us seek to lead a balanced life as a way to achieve happiness, Paavo Nurmi was all about focusing on a single goal: he yearned for perfection, he demanded nothing less of himself than excellence and while this unbalance in his life may not have given him the joy that he might otherwise have had; it did give him one thing: victory.

It is through modern humanities incompatibility with our natural environment that we are beginning to dysevolve.  The Dysevolutional Runner is one who lives in this environment of fast food non-pedestrian and embraces her or his inner hunter gatherer.  Professor Daniel Lieberman, Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University, says that "Dysevolution is a positive feedback loop."  When we work to treat the symptoms of our lack of physical exercise and donât take to the roads and run, we are making the problem worse. Thatâs why itâs so important for those of us who run to be positive examples for others; to be the good animals we have evolved into: homo sapien hunter gatherers endowed with the ability to run long distances to find our food across the open savannah; to serve Gods purpose for making the world a better place with these bodies that He has created through the process of evolution.

I donât consider myself morally superior to these parties; Iâm just calling it as I see it.  Itâs not fun to toss around the âEâ word; and Iâm a big believer in repentance and reconciliation; and this company is NOT the ONLY giant freakinâ corporation guilty of being EVILâbut they are the biggest and most prominent and thus fair game for asking of them the question âWhy?â My advice?  Donât listen to the ending diatribe of this episode on a full stomach; some of you might not like to hear it.  I admittedly went a bit over the top on this one, even though my facts are verifiable.  Iâll probably regret this; but Iâm only human: and I got really angry about this issue.

BUT: thereâs always that small conditional word âIFâ. As in: IF I can inspire just one human being, who might by accident listen to this goofy little podcast and become inspired to rise off the couch of doom to live a better and more happier life: then fellow runners; Iâm here to tell you: MISSION FRIGGIN ACCOMPLISHED!  That will be a day for a celebratory glass of Malbec: because thatâs all it takes: just change the world for a single human being among us, and we will have satisfied our purpose in this lifeâwe will have made an improvement through our examplesâ.thatâs the challenge: life your life in a way that inspires others to lace up their shoes and take to the road with us, and youâll have made the universe just a little bit better than it was before they were so inspired. This life is a gift, and my reasons for producing Phedippidations is both to celebrate the gift and serve a purpose that is much MUCH more important than this middle aged, middle of the pack, slightly asthmatic fellow runner. Why do I produce Phedippidations each week?  Because, in a way, although itâs not easy to explain, and certainly not at noble as it soundsâthatâs what feel like Iâm called to do.

So why am I reading this on a podcast about running?  Is it because I canoed up the Allagash River Waterway in the Maine North Woods where Thoreau himself spent time and experienced the beauty of the wilderness?  Partly, yes.  But itâs also because I think his message is important, especially today where technology is daring to alter the very nature of our tiny blue bubble in space.  This Earth is all we have, the other celestial possibilities for distant continents such as the Moon and Mars are volatile places or rock and rust, deadly radiation and bitter cold. Henry David Thoreau saw the beauty of nature and sought to impress upon his readers a desire to preserve it. ââ.In Wildness is the preservation of the Worldâ he wrote.  And on the Allagash River, in the wilderness that he so loved; I can think of no better way to tell you of his thoughts, opinions, observations and rambling diatribes. You and I are fellow runners; and we run across the same blue bubble that Thoreau walked upon.  Listen carefully to his message and think about how precious our world really is.

There will come a day when, here in the Northeast, the days will shorten, the leaves will fall and the cold harsh reality of winter will settle around us: but not today, because today the earth tilts sunward in our favor, today the road heats up and our bodies have to adapt to the time before us: because our running goes on despite the conditions that exist outside our doors: we are runners, this is what we do, and our bodies have the incredible ability to adapt to the climate which occurs here in the summertime.

Pyles Amazing Foot Race: the true story of the 1928 coast to coast run across America, by Geoff Williams, published by Rodale Pressâthe author writes âAs difficult as his amazing foot race was, for all the car collisions and nervous breakdowns involved, calling it the Bunion Derby was never quite accurate.  As winter turned to spring in 1928, the runners suffered blisters, brusies, boils, shin splints, charley horses, sore toes, broken and fallen arches, corns and calluses: but not one of them developed a bunion.â Show Links: Fdip Blog of the Week: <a href="http://rojrunning.blogspot.com/">http://rojrunning.blogspot.com</a> <a href="http://www.amilewith.me.uk/">http://www.amilewith.me.uk</a> <a href="http://shockofthenews.com/">http://shockofthenews.com</a> The song âHuman Raceâ was by Darius Lux <a href="http://www.dariuslux.com/">http://www.dariuslux.com</a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q0JjDdl46prZA6C8PS8DrNcMg-4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q0JjDdl46prZA6C8PS8DrNcMg-4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q0JjDdl46prZA6C8PS8DrNcMg-4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Q0JjDdl46prZA6C8PS8DrNcMg-4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?i=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?i=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?a=7OzkX-xx294:61f59OQJX98:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Phedippidations?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Phedippidations/~4/7OzkX-xx294" height="1" width="1"/> Topic Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:00:00 GMT http://steverunner.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=501637# Steve Runner No steve@steverunner.com (Steve Runner)the Weekly PodCast for RunnersThoughts, opinions and observations composed during distance long runs.running,marathons,runnerhttp://steverunner.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=501637#http://media.libsyn.com/media/steverunner/Fdip195.mp3 Fdip194: Athletic Arthritic? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/7sWR1AHqckY/index.php Thereâs this rumor going around that distance runners are more prone to developing arthritis, a medical condition from by the Greek word âarthroâ meaning joint and âitisâ meaning inflammation.  Many non-runners and medical laypersons have assumed that the constant repetitive pounding forces on our joints, especially in the knees, as we run are too much for our bodies to absorb.  In this weeks episode Iâll go through some of the scientific medical research on the subject and present an answer to the question: are runners at higher risk for developing arthritis? NOTE: I didnât want to make a huge deal out of it during this episode, but this marks my fourth year producing Phedippidations and I wanted to be sure to thank you, at least here in the show notes, for your friendship, kindness and support over these past 1,461 days since episode #1.  It continues to be an honor to run with you.

just let my mind flow, talking about a few things that may or may not have to do with running. Of particular interest (to me at least) is the contemplation of the ship of Theseusâs, the discussion of which might may you say âHuh?â We are made of stuff that has a limited shelf-life, but most of the atoms in your body will be completely replaced in just 10 years time, and if you believe in an eternal life after this stuff we wear is gone; then youâll not worry so much about these bodies of ours breaking down over time: because time is just a construct and we all have a limitless warrantee.

We use terms and phrases such as âyouâve got to have heartâ and âdonât go breakinâ my heartâ as a reference to the symbolic vessel we have within us to harbor our capacity to love.  In reality the heart is an important organ, strategically located in the center of our bodies to provide oxygen rich blood throughout the vessels of our body as a means to sustain life.  While these bodies we inhabit are amazing creations, capable of running great distancesâitâs important to take care.  Weâre all soft and squishy creatures; resilient yet fragile, strong yet capable of suffering injuryâwhen you pull a leg muscle or sprain an ankle: you can apply ice and deep massage: itâs not so easy to do that with our hearts. Training for any distance, any kind of race event: especially for distances like a marathon requires proper training; many of the experts suggest that you donât even start training to run a marathon until youâve been out on the road consistently for a full year. Never, EVER start a marathon training program until youâre doctor gives you the green lightâitâs one thing to have to deal with shin splints and muscle soreness, but your heart needs to be prepared for the stress youâll put it under; out there on the road.

Itâs short fellow runners, this life of ours is far too shortâbut it should be long enough; and when you find yourself with a purpose to live it, youâll have savored each experience: youâll have lived your life to the top, and youâll have achieved the satisfaction of knowing that your life is not ruled by the random and chaos: your life has meaning, and above all your life has purpose.

road again 12 years later when, at the age of 38, he ran his first Comrades Marathon.  His contribution to distance running is great in that he chose to use common sense to guide his training methods, rather than formulas found in books on the subject of running.  Dr. Tim Noakes, in his book âLore of Runningâ outlines 9 of his principles of training that helped to guide Newtonâs success in our sport, and revolutionized the way that coaches trained their athletes Show Links: <a href="http://wyotri.blogspot.com/">http://wyotri.blogspot.com</a> <a

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/rgd86Zegmp8/index.php This is one of those strange podcast episodes that merges a little of my personal life (youâll hear us picking up our new Dog Indiana and bringing him home) along with some practical tips about exercising your dog and this history of the beagle. It goes without saying that I have a lot to learn about dogs; and puppies specifically.  While my wife has always owned a dog, growing up: this experience is new to the rest of us in my household. Will I make mistakes: count on it: heâll end up chewing all my running shoes, leaving squishy wet mementoes as he marks his territory around the house: both inside and out and will undoubtedly follow me around the house as I try to get some work done with the less than few hours that heâll allow me to sleep, which might beg the question: is this all worth it? It is worth it to share your day with a creature who loves you unconditionally with all his heart, it is worth it to welcome into your home a being who constantly reminds you that itâs not the stress of life and work that is important itâs play: PLAY is all that really matters, and play is the most important thing weâll do today and every day.  Is it worth it to suffer the weariness of sleep deprivation, the indignation of having to take a puppy out to pee at 2 in the morning, the incontinence of veterinary visits thousands on food, care, crates, accessories and medication?  Is it worth it to have what was starting to be a fairly comfortable life of leisure usurped by an animal that demands attention while giving devotion? Yeah, Iâd say thatâs a pretty good deal.

Thereâs this question that philosophers and scientists, artists, writers and dreamers have asked for many centuries when they looked above into the heavens.  That question is this: ARE WE ALONE? The question is intended to inquire about the validity of the Drake equation and the possibility of intelligent life, or any life on worlds other than our own.  Itâs a question that, in itâs asking, evokes a sense of loneliness, as if we are adrift on a tiny blue bubble in space, far from communities in distant galaxies.  If I had to guess, Iâd say that there is life out there, and very likely intelligent life of some kind: I just donât think our world and even the life that swarms upon it is entirely unique and special.  If life got started here, it has to have started elsewhere, thatâs just good science in search of good evidence. But the notion that we are alone?  Thatâs just silly, because as long as we have each otherâas long as there are ways for us to experience a community together: no matter where on the tiny blue bubble we stand, we cannot and will not be alone.  Thatâs more than just good science and logical reasoning: thatâs a functioning reality based on many lines of evidence, not the least of which is found in the obvious fact that youâre listening to me right now on a podcast called Phedippidations, and many of us are running, together.

I wasnât supposed to run this race, and when I was a child the kids on the playground who once laughed at me when I dropped the ball said that I could never do such a thing.  But today, Iâm running a marathonâan event that is as much an analogy for life as anything you could cover in 26.2 miles.  It correlates perfectly mile after mile for every period of your life, from cradle to grave: and it gives you the opportunity to do something special, amazing, inspirational and impressive.

I made a statement on this podcast, three years or so ago regarding why it is that Iâm a runner.  Many reasons come to mind; but the one that always rises first and foremost in my thinking might not be one that others would expect from a soon to be twenty-time marathoner: I run because I love pizza and with Bostonâs North End of wonderful Italian neighborhoods, from which my family is descended, I run towards Boston with the hope that thereâs a slice waiting for me at the end.

A running legend is someone who has a very humble confidence.  Their eyes, voices and motions speak of having worked harder than most of us could ever imagine to reach a brief moment in their lives where they understood that they were experiencing something that only the very dedicated and passionate person could ever hope to experience.  They are living examples of what we could be as good animals and good human beings. Jacqueline Gareau is a running legend because she had that moment of glory stolen from her; but in her heart she knew what she had done that day.  Her running is her art, and she showed us on a Spring day in Boston the a true champion celebrates victory in her heart, holds nothing back, and forgives silly transgressionsâand when it came to her sport, Jacqueline Gareau made running seem effortless.

Head Away From Nature West Near Ballpark Boston. and Only 17% of the course climbs at a rate of greater than 1%. Iâve learned many lessons from this course.  The Boston Marathon has taught me to conserve on the downhills, and pace myself on the uphills.  Itâs taught me to have humility amid the cheering crowds, to smile despite the pain gastronomical discomfort, to savor the race as if it were my last, and to celebrate the achievement no matter how physically and mentally exhausted I might be at the end. Iâm not expecting to set a course PR or even come close to 4 hours in the 113th Boston Marathon.  I am expecting to enjoy the day, and appreciate my life all the more. Patriots Day will be a day to celebrate the successful completion of my 20th Marathonâa milestone of sorts that I can quite honestly feel proud of despite all the pain and weariness Iâve had to overcome.  Life is short, but it should be long enough: and I am grateful for my life and the time Iâve had and whatever happens to me on Marathon Monday will only add to my experience of this course, both of the Boston Marathon and the road of life.

Traditional marathon training programs begin with a base and gradually work up to build strength and endurance, so this training program, more than the race itself, is the real test of how well the maintenance miles Iâve been running can prepare me for a race like the Boston Marathon. Boston is more than just a race, and my efforts in these five weeks will be exhausting, painful, time consuming and demanding: but thatâs what Iâm compelled to doâand if there is such a thing as a siren song from the island of Sirenum Scopuliâthe song I hear is coming from Hopkinton Massachusetts and I canât help but show up on Patriots Day, ready to run as best I can.

In the 1920s, he became the first person to appear in an Olympic sprint final in three different Olympic Games. He won the gold in <city w:st="on"></city>Antwerp for the American 4x100 meter relay, he won the silver in the 100m race in the 1924 <city w:st="on"></city><place w:st="on"></place>Paris games, losing to Britains Harold Abrahams as depicted in the movie Chariots of Fire, and he won the gold in those games in the 200 meter race.  He also ran in the 1928 games in <city w:st="on"></city><place w:st="on"></place>Amsterdam, finishing 4th in the 200 meters. After his running career had ended, Jackson Scholz became well known for his writing, and today Iâm going to read you one of his best short stories, an excellent first reading for what I intend to have as an ongoing feature of this podcast. âThe Winning Bugâ.

If I canât answer every email the least I can do is produce this podcast every week and go for a run with you.  I canât promise everything Iâll have to say here will be worthy of your listening; but I can promise to follow the same compass as youâheading in the same direction to better health and becoming a good animal.

In this episode of Phedippidations, I go on vacation to Florida and in the course of my journey I meet a good friend whom Iâve been hoping to meet for a very long time: THE Zen Runner himself: the great Adam Tinkoff.

He is without a doubt one of the greatest athletic coaches of all time, and is credited with popularizing and inventing the sport of recreational running and jogging for health.  His training methods were all about building a strong base and incorporating periodization and there are many world class runners today who give credit to the man for their impressive success on the track, fields and roads. This is the exact spoken presentation of his Osaka lecture in conversational form that sometimes wanders outside the rules of grammatical perfection, it lacks the physical expressions that were transmitted during the lecture, and is often a stream of conscious thoughts that converge on more solid themes, but in this episode Iâll read \them exactly as they were spoken because: as a whole; the message is brilliant. These are the words of the great coach Arthur Leslie Lydiard.

How are you feeling?  Howâs your running going?  Have any big races planned in the near future?  Whatâs up?  Whatâs going on?  Did John Michael get his puppy yet? As friends and fellow runners we have plenty of questions as part of an ongoing conversation that we have with each other every day.  We are connected by a common interest, in this sport we call running: and with questions to spark new conversations, we offer answers to run with, out here on the road. When friends hang out and go for a run, they talk about stuff like this, they ask questions of each other and look for answers as a way to get to know each other better.  In this episode Iâll pose some of the questions asked by fellow runners, and attempt to answer each as best I can.  This is the first Phedippidations Question and Answer Show.

In his book âRunning to Winâ Dr. George Sheehan perfectly articulated what many of us have been thinking all along.  Weâre all winners when it comes to this sport, and running to win is to win, through running. It doesnât take a miracle or a magic pill, an incantation, self hypnosis or some new age marketing slick definition of the term âcourageâ to become a runner; it takes determination and dedicationâit takes a desire to become a good animal in a physical sense, and a true winner in every sense of the word.

Always remember that our human bodies are amazing pieces of equipment but compared to the surface of the planet, they are just small squishy thingsâand you know what happens when you take a small squishy thing and throw it at the side of a mountainâit squishes. Donât squish yourself.  Run long, fast and hardâbut never over the physical limits that mark your own structural integrity.  Your body can do great things, but not if you abuse and overuse it out here, on the road.

As my complexity increases, so do the ideas that get formed in my admittedly teeny tiny little brainâand like a balloon in the state of inflation, if I donât get some of these ideasâboth good, bad and frankly quite sillyâout of the skull within which they are formedâwell, like a balloon, somethingâs going to popâ.and I donât think you want to be left having to clean up the mess. Thus we have an episode of this goofy little podcast dedicated to things not necessarily related to running; but letâs go for a run today, you and Iâand Iâll do the talking about things that Iâm thinking aboutâthe thoughts, opinions, and observations that a soon to be 47 year old fellow runner congers up on a long run. So letâs go for a run today.  Letâs forget, for a moment, that this is a podcast, and that youâre listening to me with your ear bugs jammed in your headâconsider that Iâm just like you: although Iâm betting youâre a little bit faster, healthier and undoubtedly better lookingâ.and that weâre just going out for a run together.  The world is moving on, increasing in velocity as the planet revolves, and orbits, and moves outward ever forwardâbringing us specs of life with it; and while thereâs no possibility or reason to ever stop that motion letâs go for a run today and create a little motion of our ownâ.just you and me and that long road before us.  Letâs go for a run.

This episode is a statement of my opinion.  Not all will agree with that opinion, and all are invited to consider and challenge what I have to say here.  I suspect many will consider my premise faulty and my conclusion to be wrong; but this is just MY OPINION, and if I sound angry and passionate in my argument itâs because it bothers me when fellow runners suffer the appeals of a marketing pitch designed to ridicule them without their conscious understanding in an effort to sell books. Just because someone says that it takes courage for you to run your first mile, does not make it so.  It does not make noble the action by affixing such terms to explain how you came to be.  Terms and words like âindomitable spiritâ, âintelligent choiceâ, âdedicationâ, âperseveranceâ, and âcommitmentâ better describe how you became a runner; and credits you with the hard work associated with your effort and success on the road. In this episode I will prove that âit takes dedication to start runningâ is no longer a hypothesis, itâs a well founded theory.  I will show that this is a well established principle created from repeated observation and testing.  There are better and more positive ways to inspire and motivate non-runners to take to the road with us than to call them âscared, powerless little misfitsâ. Donât ever let anyone tell you that it takes courage to start running. They are offending you, they are appealing to your instinctual desire to be congratulated for doing something noble and brave.  You deserve MUCH moreâyou have earned the right to be credited with rising off the couch of doom not because you were once a cowering, fearful couch potato who overcame some dangerous risk to your life; but because you made a choiceâyou accepted a challenge to yourself: and that doesnât take courage fellow runners; that takes dedication.

We will remember him in many ways: as the quiet guy in the background working to establish rules for age groups and course measurements.  As a promoter of distance running who worked behind the scenes.  He was an amazing athlete who was able to cover distances that is considered impressive by any standard, and he was a kind hearted, soft spoken fellow runner who overcame hatred and prejudice to embrace a sport that he loved so well. Most importantly, he was someone who loved to run.  It was his life long passion, it was his daily joy and it was something that defined him, improved him and gave his life meaning and a happiness that inspires all who knew him and know of himâbecause Ted Corbitt was a man with an indomitable spirit who came into this world to live his life to the top, and he left this world a better place for his having run here.

Old New England towns remain preserved while merging with the modern world and new technologies.  You can see that most clearly when you go for a run in such a town such as Northbridge Massachusetts, and the village of Whitensville.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my âTwitter Tweetâ for running clubs!

Runners appreciate the little things; a good book on our favorite subjects, or something simple like a pair of gloves, socks or a water bottleâitems which help to protect and comfort us during our daily runsâthese are things that will be appreciated every day and serve as reminders that you, as the gift giver, really understood and cared enough to give something related to our passion for this sport and the importance we give to the gift of running.

To excel physically you must have a strong and powerful core, to excel as a human being you have to have a resilient and resolute center.  Work on that part of yourself, both physically and emotionally and there will be nothing you cannot accomplish.  Focus on developing your core and youâll discover the power within yourself to run long and far and then youâll find the strength to go on.

You and I can support the fight for human rights and the environment every day with our dollarsâby purchasing products and services sold only by those companies and businesses who treat their workers with dignity and promote the basic human rights to life, liberty, freedom of expression, equality before the law and in society, the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education along with ensuring that the production of goods does not negatively impact the environment. My expose here about some of the major running shoe manufacturers in operation today will most assuredly guarantee that I will never earn millions of dollars on this podcast through an advertizing contract with any of these companiesâbut morality dictates that I consider the big pictureâand Iâm going to do my best, in this episode of Phedippidations, to be honest, truthful and above all independent when it comes to giving you the 4-1-1 on what are, and are not responsible shoes.

I chose to run the 2008 Bay State Marathon just as 25 years ago this month I chose to take part in a project to help etch my college radio stationâs name in the history of a Northern Massachusetts city. Sometimes we do things without thinking it through, or considering the consequences.  Sometimes we do things on impulse or instinct and throw caution to the wind for ideals and purposes which seem like a good idea at the time. Whatever we do, for whatever reason we do it: one thing is perfectly clear.  We all have a choice.

There were many reasons why we all took part in this event: to celebrate, to share, to make friends and to inspire others.  We did it to prove that national and territorial boundaries on a map are nothing more than dotted lines meant to keep us physically apart, and that our own customs, religions and social environments do not exclude us from the privileges of friendship and camaraderie.  What makes us different from each other locally does not prevent us from going out into this world, under the same sky on the same little blue bubble in space, and celebrate those things that we have in common. We just want to live a good, happy and healthy life.  We just want to live in peace and harmony with each otherâand above all, we just want to Be OK.

It gives you in an instant, just at a position 240,000 miles away from it, (an idea of) how insignificant we are, how fragile we are, and how fortunate we are to have a body that will allow us to enjoy the sky and the trees and the water ... It’s something that many people take for granted when they’re born and they grow up within the environment. But they don’t realize what they have. And I didn’t till I left it.’’ -- Jim Lovell, Apollo 8 and 13. Greeting Fellow Runnersâ The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 km, thatâs 238,857 miles. To put that into perspective, itâs exactly 2,462 miles or 3,961 km between New York and Los Angelesâso the moon is 156 times the distance away from the Earth as New York is to LA. When the Apollo Astronauts went to the moon, they noticed a few things which probably should have been obvious and expected.  First, the moon is dead; Buzz Aldrin stepped out of the lunar lander, looked around and gasped âMagnificent desolationâ.  He witnessed first hand that the moon is beautiful, but void of life. The second thing the astronauts noticed when they looked back at the earth was that it was the only thing in the sky that had any color.  It shone of deep blues, white wisps, dark greens and browns.  The Earth was, in fact, a magnificent oasis of life. The third thing the astronauts realized when they stood on the surface of the moon was that, if they lifted up their arm and stuck out their hand, holding it out to towards the little blue bubble that was hanging in the lunar sky, they could cover the entire Earth with their thumb.  Everyone who has ever lived was hidden behind that thumb.  The entire history of the human civilization was hidden behind that thumb, every creature that had ever swam, crawled, slithered , hopped, walked, or flew had lived (or were living) their whole lives, hidden behind that thumb. Wally Schirra, the astronaut who flew around the earth on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions once said âI left Earth three times. I found no place else to go.â Think about the profoundness of that statement. He found no place else to go because there IS no place else to go.  Seen from space, this little blue bubble we run upon is our home and is very likely to be the only place in the entire Universe that we will ever be able to live.  I know that weâre talking about going to Mars and we can imagine a future where we terraform planets or create starships to take our descendents to extra-solar planets over the course of a millennium; but this one planet that we live upon is a precious bubble of life in space.  Itâs our home, itâs small, and we have to take care of it. But today, Iâm going to suggest that before we can take care of this little blue bubble that we first take care of each other. Perspective might be the key to that. Iâm a science fiction fan.  I love âStar Trekâ and âStar Warsâ and anything to do with space travels and alien encounters.  Iâve often wondered what alien visitors to Earth would think as their spaceship got close and they saw this little blue bubble of life. Wouldnât they assume that all of the intelligent creatures of the indigenous civilizations on this planet lived in peace and harmony as a single tribe of the human species?  Wouldnât they believe that conflicts would be rare on such a tiny world where global cooperation was the only logically sensible way for such creatures to co-exist.  Wouldnât they expect that such creatures, born of the same species, evolved from the same ancestral lineage, and with essentially similar physical featuresâwould live, love, share and care for each other throughout their short lives? On this podcast, Iâve tried to make the point that if weâre going to live up to those expectations (and as the so called intelligent self aware species on this planet, I think we should probably make peace, love and understanding a common goal) and if thatâs a noble and good goal, then it has to start somewhere.  Whereâs it going to start?  With religion?  Maybeâbut religious differences hasnât been particularly effective with the whole âensuring world peace thingâ over the last thousand years.  Iâm saying that as a devote practicing Roman Catholicâreligion without the underlying foundation of tolerance, understanding, acceptance, charity and love for all of the people on this little blue bubble, no matter how they worship or what they believeâisnât helpful to a world in desperate need of peace. Will the goal of such peace start with governments?  UmmmâIâm not very good with understanding the whole socio-political strategy of the modern world, but Iâm pretty sure there are a few wars going on that started because âSo and So said that So and So had weapons and the other guy called So and So part of the axis of evilâandâahhhâmy head it going to explode!! No: world peace and the idea of a planet of creatures living together in harmony is not going to start with any of the traditional avenues of diplomacy, it has to start WITH US. You are a runner.  You are now running in a global event with friends from all over the world.  We all have our differences, we all carry our baggage of fear and shame, anger and frustration with usâbut thatâs okay: thatâs part of being human.  The one thing I can say that we have going for us, as runners, is that we do not hate.  Today weâre not individuals from other countries and cultures: today we are all runners: fellow runners. It doesnât matter what you look like, how you dress, or what you do in your spare time. Right now, this moment, you are out sharing an experience with other human beings who are feeling the same heart pounding exertion that you are feeling. And itâs a good feeling, tiring, yesâbut think about it: we are living our lives to the top as the good animals we were always meant to beâout here, we can imagine a world full of friends who believe in the ideals of love, joy and peaceâout here we can afford to be a little idealistic and possibly naiveâbecause weâre running a race that transcends borders, cultures and rules that have been set in place to keep us apart. You are a runner; and when you live your life as part of a community where you have friends all over the world, as you do, you begin to appreciate each other more, you begin to see the world from each others eyes and perspectives.  If each of us, running across the Earth could imagine the view of our planet from the surface of the moon, or Mars or from the very edge of our solar system and beyond, weâd have to appreciate how precious this little blue bubble really isâand more importantly, how precious we are to each other.  You and I are fellow runnersâand we set positive examples for every human being that lives on this little blue bubble in spaceâand when it comes to having a world full of healthy, happy, peaceful, kind, generous and thoughtful creaturesâit all starts with us.

Researchers arenât sure how much exercise is needed to help prevent cancer, but they all agree that consistency is the most important factor.  Cancer as a disease and as an idea is something we must fight against.  Do not go gentle into that good night.

The person you save through something like CPR may be a person who helps make the world just a little bit better, either directly or by enabling another to do so. Human beings have the potential to do good in the world, and every human life is worth saving for that reason alone. NOTE:  The information contained in this episode is NOT intended to be medical advice, or to replace proper CPR training.  Do NOT use the methods or techniques described in this episode to provide emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation: Please DO consider attending a CPR class and obtaining proper certification as a lay responder.

The Runners Round Table! <a href="http://www.runnersroundtable.com">http://www.runnersroundtable.com</a> Episode 1 - Join us at the table as we share some time with our good friend Dr. Monte from the great podcast, <a href="http://fitnessrocks.org/">Fitness Rocks</a>. He shares insight he gained from an interview with Dr. Eliza Chakravarty of Stanford Medical School about how exercise (namely running) can play a major role in reducing your disability and even morbidity as you get older. Amazing stuff. Also we discuss the new developments on <a href="http://worldwidefestivalofraces.com/">The Worldwide Festival of Races</a> and a little company called Nike who is staging a vaguely similar event in 2 weeks called <a href="http://nikeplus.com/">The Human Race 10K</a>.

The Earth does itâs best to heal itself from man made impact.  Given time and natural conditions, nature will reclaim what mankind has paved over and modified to suit our needs for resources and space.  There is such a thing as living in concert with nature, and a duty that each of us has to make the world just a little bit better for the next generation of runners to live in a world with clean fresh air, clean clear water and the beauty that can exist without impact of mankind.

Now is the time to pick our races, now is the time to make our commitments, now is the moment to promise to ourselves and others that we will train well and hard, and complete a 26.2 mile course with dedication, determination, strength and honorâand these are the races that you and I will run.

philosopher of fitness shares techniques and tactics for success and self liberation, published in 1989 by Rodale Press.  Itâs a book of 37 chapters, each one an essay and study into an physical of cerebral aspect of running.  For anyone looking to read a sample of the right brain/left brain writings of Dr. Sheehan, this book gives you a good sense of his style.  He challenges us to think about our lives, our running, and our purpose within each page.  George Sheehan understood that running was more than just an activity; it is an expression of life and love.    Show Links:  <a

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/Z90KuQygD6Y/index.php Have a glass of wine with me while I catch up on some emails from fellow runners.  Wine is one of my many passions.  In order to appreciate wine you have to come into it with a clear head, a clear palate and a clear nose.  Wine making dates back to 6000 BC and is a major part of the culture of many societies and religions.  Wine is also a social beverage, something to share with friends and enjoy with a good meal.  Itâs good for you as well, consumed in moderation wine has been found to have both cardioprotective and chemoprotective effects.  In this short format version of my podcast, Iâll be resting my ankle and enjoying a glass of wine with you as we hear from fellow runners across the planet. <a

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/iO2XWDEsgBM/index.php Today Iâd like to point out something thatâs really obvious; so obvious in fact, that we tend not to think about it much.  In this episode I present for you a very basic, truthful, scientific and historical bit of trivia that both describes and explains the premise which propose, and that piece of trivia is this: Fred Flintstone never wore running shoes.  Running shoes are not evil: youâll have to pry my NB 426âs off my hot sweaty feet if you ever want me to give up my running shoes: but we should entertain the idea that running without shoes on the open road may be a more natural, less injurious way to run.

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/27-nqwHztvA/index.php In this episode we’ll hear the stories of others who ran the 112th Boston Marathon. When you write up a race report you"re not just doing it for yourself to memorialize the even, you’re doing it for others; passing on your observations so that they can incorporate it into their own form of opinion as a way to better understand the event so that we can improve our performance on race day. Its" not enough to just run the race, or even run it well, you have to tell others about your race.  Race reports are a big part of the process of running, racing and competing with each other.  Itâs in this way that we give something back to our fellow runners; and with a sport that gives us all so much in terms of joy, passion, and health: the verbal or written telling of your story from the races you run is an important way to give back to this community.

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Phedippidations/~3/OjONHNNDIIg/index.php The Boston Marathon is a race that challenges an athlete in a way that most courses do not, neither buy design or intent.  It is not a fast course.  It is not a race where any runner, elite or back of the pack, will set a marathon PR, but it is a race for which all other marathons seek to enable athletes to arrive in a small New England town for the eastward run into the heart of bean town.  This is the story of the 87th running of this event, where the last American male runner won the day, and a woman athlete named Joan ran a race for the ages.
