The 20MR Episode 82: Updates, interview, listener emails

"Tigger" on my porch on a beautiful day

It is good to have you with me once again for another episode of the show, Episode 82. I apologize for the delay, but life has been so hectic. I know you can understand. Also, my recording equipment is giving me some problems. I may have to replace the mic or recorder itself. First, I have to diagnose the problem.

I hope to get more on a routine with the show...and the running. Things are beginning to settle down as we begin this show on my front porch, Tigger nearby. I update things with you on how life is going (hint: I'm changing jobs), share the interview with Coach Jeff at The Running Podcast and close things out with several emails from listeners. Thank you for sharing with  me! I thoroughly enjoy hearing from you, the listener.

So, sit back, or settle into your stride as we once again get on the road together. And as always,

Thanks for sharing some of the road with me,
The 20 Minute Runner

The 20MR Episode 80: Listener Emails, Goodbye to a Friend

 

Thanks for tuning in again for yet another installment of the show, Episode 80. Or if you are new to the podcast, thanks for coming along. Why not send me an email while it's on your mind?

This episode covers various topics and is a hodgepodge of sorts. We cover running and non-running items:

• The Clinical Pastoral Care (CPE) update
• The Tigger/Cola update
• The weight update
• The snow and ice update
• Emails from Coach Jeff of The Running Podcast and Craig, a faithful listener
• Impromptu discussion with my neighbor, Jason, at the end of the run

(Check out a video of a group Jason was in here).

I also devote several minutes to saying goodbye to one of the podcast world's best known (and loved) running podcaster, Nigel, of Running from the Reaper fame. No, Nigel has not gone to the great running trail in the sky, but is hanging up the mic indefinitely. Nigel, know that we will miss hearing you running on the towpath and hope to hear you in our ears again very soon. All the best and thank you again for keeping up Running Podasts.org and Channel Runner.org. Your help with promoting this--and other great running podcasts--is appreciated.

Also, check out a new website to our show, Bay Area Kicks (I will also include the link in the links section on this page). They give reviews on athletic apparel and shoes. Check 'em out; you'll be glad you did.

It's good to have you along. And as always,

Thanks for sharing some of the road with me,

The 20MR Episode 62: Chi Basics #3: "How to use and improve proper posture"

Welcome to another Chi Running discussion in Episode 62. But before we get into that, we share a recent trip home to Wallace, the place I lived for most of my growing-up years. I caught up with family, ate some seafood and even literally picked up a piece of family history. Listen in for the details.

After sharing my plans for the week, we get into the issue of posture and Chi Running. The basics and benefits are simple:

1. Lengthen your neck.
2. Lengthening your neck results in greater lung capacity.
3. Use your rear-view mirror to reinforce this concept.
4. Whenever you think about it, lengthen your neck, regardless of the place/time.
5. It's all about defeating gravity.

I also share some information from Jeff, over at the Run2feelyoung blog. Jeff is working on breaking 4 hours for his next marathon, as am I.

Coach Jeff from way down in Australia checks in with some information on "Monster workouts." We discuss three of them from episode 12 of his show, The Running Podcast. Thanks, Jeff, for your support and information.

Finally, roadrunn3r checks in with some nice comments at iTunes. If you have not left a review, why not go over to iTunes right now and leave a quick word? I certainly appreciate it. And as always,

Thanks for sharing some of the road with me,
