Martha Runs The World Podcast

Send us a text#64 - All of our races are cancelled right now. If we are fortunate, we've been given the choice to do them as virtual races and are able to get out there and race by ourselves. I talk about how my latest 10k served as more of a healing race for me than anything and I explain why. In the second half, I give some continuing information on strength training, and much of it you can do at home, no weights needed! I'm not going to bombard you with Coronavirus episodes, there are enough of those out there and to be honest, when it's all over, you won't want to hear them again, so I'm trying to go light on them, giving enough information as needed, but not going overboard. For all information and to get in touch with me, the website is www.martharunstheworld.com and me email is martharunstheworld@gmail.com Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#63 - If you've been listening to running podcast for any amount of time, you know about this podcast. Eric was on the forefront of running podcasts. Long before most of us were doing, he was publishing his superb program. I consider URP to be one of the best. He works hard to make it that way and it shows. Even if you aren't an ultrarunner or even a trail runner, you should listen to it because the stories are human stories, and we can all relate to the energy of the human spirit. For all contact information, please go to our website www.martharunstheworld.com to contact me with comments questions or any future show suggestions, please email me at martharunstheworld@gmail.comSupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#59 - In this week's episode, I give two great race reviews as well as talk about Coastal Trail Runs annual awards lunch. I feel it's important to support local races and race companies. Local races support our communities and sometimes it's their biggest annual fundraiser. Also, trail race companies who give back to their most supportive runners are not only showing their appreciation but can lift the spirits of those who may never cross the finish line first. For all information from today's episode, please visit the website at www.martharunstheworld.com for any comments or future episode suggestions, please email me at martharunstheworld@gmail.comSupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.martharunstheworld.com/Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martha_runs_sf/

Send us a text#57 - I could have titled this episode why holding for Tech Support is harder than going across country in a covered wagon. HAHA! I strive to publish episodes on time and sometimes I have to deal with technical issues that can only be solved by talking with Dell tech support for over an hour. So, when I recorded this episode, I was a bit frazzled. That's a bit of detail, I know, but it is all part of life. As is races. I talk about the Coastal Trail Runs 5 mile race I did and I celebrate every runner's choice to run what they want. Also in this episode is my January Whole30 experiment thoughts. I learned a lot from it and I'm glad I did it. Although almond milk is no substitute for half and half in coffee. Just saying. If you have comments or future show ideas, please get in touch with me at martharunstheworld@gmail.com if you want to check out the show notes or any past shows or links for Patreon or anything else, please go to the website at www.martharunstheworld.comSupport the

Send us a text#54 - We all eventually find ourselves in one....a rut. One day, we wake up and find that our running has become a chore instead of fun.

If you think you don't have time to get your runs in regularly, Tony might help inspire you to find some time. His tale of working his way into good health is remarkable.

Send us a text#51 - You should be proud of what you do in running, regardless of distance or race, or even if you race! Love every step you take, even if there are those who take many more than you. Know that you are doing what you wish to do. You are enough! That is my message to every runner out there from ultra Monster to 5K Fanatic to Park Run Regular to Trail Run Casual. Do what you love and that is the ultimate prize! Too much of the time we are bombarded by memes and motivational posters telling us to do more, more, more! But it doesn't have to be that way. Be happy in the run you are in and that's all you need. Also, I talk about my adventures in the SF New Year One Day race that didn't turn out the way I planned, but I had a great time anyway! Happy New Year!I want to give a shout out to our first sponsor Coastal Trail Runs! You are awesome! For all past shows and information, please go to the website at www.martharunstheworld.com to contact me with comments or ideas for upcoming shows

Send us a text#48 - Daniel Gallo calls himself a perfectionist in everything he does. He admits that sometimes he gets obsessed about the tasks he performs. He always wants to be the best.
