Martha Runs The World Podcast

#257 - At some time in my many years of running, I've heard that silly phrase "a bad run is better than no run at all." That's hogwash, of course. Some runs are so terrible, it's better to not go out at all. Today's episode is about my terrible run Saturday and what I have to do because of it in the follow up. Sh*t happens indeed. It would be a huge help if you would become a show member or Patreon Patron. The links will be on the show website. Thank you for your continued loyalty. I'll get through this as I know you'll get through your tough times as well, because that's what we do!Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#256 - Running, road and trail, takes strength. And to keep our muscles as strong as we can, strength training can really help. I've done strength training episodes before, but this one is more focused and directed specifically for running. I give you just a few exercises that will help you on your running journey. It only takes a couple strength training workouts a week to help! All links for the exercises talked about are found on the show website. Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#255 - In October, Tsunami-sized waves hit the ultrarunning world when news came out about the Ironman-UTMB takeover of the annual race at Whistler Ski Resort always run by Gary Robbins and Coast Mountain Trail Running. Many people who didn't think much about the partnership now had second thoughts. I give my opinions on the partnership, what lays ahead and what we can do to save our local races this week. Also, in The Final Word, I talk about the running sin of comparing ourselves to our past self. Links for Gary's races can be found on the show's website. Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#251 - There's a problem going on right now in our world and it's called Mommy Wine Culture. Celeste Yvonne hits it head-on with her new book "It's Not About the Wine: The Loaded Truth Behind Mommy Wine Culture". Besides being an author, Celeste is also a runner, and a recovery coach. We talk about all those things this week. Just a note: There were a couple technical issues, but I don't think it made too much of a difference in the recording. And also, it seemed to be the worst day of the year for my allergies, so pardon if a couple coughs made it through. All of Celeste's information can be found on the show website.  Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#246 - Terry Fox is a legend in not only the running world, he stands tall as Canada's greatest hero, perhaps one of the greatest heroes in the fight against cancer and a champion in the world of para-sports. In his short life, Terry Fox showed the world that anything is possible. My guest today, Bill Vigars knew Terry personally and helped Terry on his legendary Marathon of Hope, which was to be Terry's run across Canada. Bill has just released a book about his experience with Terry and his fabled run "Terry & Me" and we talk about it. I know you'll want a copy for yourself.

#243 - If you go to a race now, it's not unusual to see a big percentage of older runners. And why not? We're living longer, healthier lives. Running plays a very important part in our healthy lifestyle. To keep running throughout our lives, we may need to switch up a few things, though, and I'm here to help you do that. I'm a young-ish runner in my 60s and I'm well aware of the changes an older runner brings. So, let's face this age thing together with a smile and our determination! Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

#242 - This week, I talk about the most important book in the history of running: The Lore of Running. This breakthrough book was THE book to set running on its whirlwind course into an incredible future. We may think of it as outdated today, and in a few aspects it is, but in its basics, it is very much a viable source of terrific information and should be in every runner's running library.

#240 - It's been a busy year for Coree Woltering. Every time I read a new Facebook post from him, he seems to have finished another tough race. His love and passion for ultraraces is contagious and makes me want to get out there. I'm sure he will drive you to sign up for a race too once you hear this week's episode. I'm so happy to welcome him back as he shares what's been going on with him, including this year's Western States race and Hawaii's HURT 100, both very difficult races, and he's done a few more besides those two!

#239 - Every person suffers from at least a little stress. Some of us handle it better than others. This week, I help you identify the stress in your life and help you relieve at least some of it. As the title says, don't let stress hurt or interfere with your running. It's easier said than done if we don't know what to do if stress has us at odds with our modern lives, but after listening to this episode, you will be better prepared to deal with it.
