Martha Runs The World Podcast

Send us a text#24 - Northern California is mostly wild lands. Much of the area is forested with great trails that are seldom used. This was the inaugural year of the Shasta Gateway 50m/50k/30k/10k. I finished the 50k and it was the hardest race I've ever accomplished. I go over in detail what made it hard and why I feel quite proud of myself for finishing. All the runners should feel accomplished for doing this one. Thank you to Ryan Spitz and Shasta Trail Runs.

Send us a text#23 - Most regular runners don't think about hiring a running coach, but I'm giving you something to think about! Running coaches are great for us every day runners for many reasons.

The miles we cover require energy and our bodies are engines that require fuel to keep going. Nutrition Strategist and Registered Dietitian Tara DelloIacono of Tara Dell Tells, explains how important race day nutrition is and also goes into preparing for high elevation racing and how she recovered from a concussion. 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#19 - The San Francisco Bay Area is known for having the most open space for such a large populated area in the US. We're only minutes away from some amazing trails and many are easily accessible via public transportation. Trail running started early here and the earliest trail racing company was Enviro-Sports, started by Dave Horning, which started putting on triathlons. He shares some of the company's early history and how the racing scene has changed over time. I also speak with Wendell Doman, who most people know as Wendell. He's been running Coastal Trail Runs for a while and is not new to the racing community. In fact, Wendell has participated in the Barkley Marathons a few times.

Send us a text#17 - They say the 60s are the new 30s or the 70s are the new 40s or....I think what they're trying to say is that we all get older but that shouldn't stop us from doing what we love. If you're listening to Martha Runs the World, I'm guessing you love to run. There's no reason aside from major medical conditions, that anyone should stop running just because they're past 35. Sure, we may have to switch things up a bit or add a few extra steps into our workout routines, but we can do this! In this week's episode, I'm joined first by Tony Portera, co-host of the podcast Ultradiner, where with co-host Ruel Abadam, they talk about all things in ultra running. But Tony is more than that. He is Ultrarunner Extraordinaire and reminds us that we can keep going as long as our legs take us. Then I'm joined by Lara Zuehlke of the podcast Fit Over 40. Lara is a fitness and food expert and helps us understand ourselves and how we can improve our lives as we get old

Send us a text#15 - Runners love to travel. We love to pick out a race and plan trips around that race. If we don't do that, we love getting our runs in while we're on vacation. In Episode 15, I give ideas for both, by speaking to Lena Andersson from Go! Running Tours, who offer running tours in many different cities throughout the world, and Salem Stanley from Vacation Races, who produce destination races and package vacations in the US and other countries. Is it time to start planning that running vacation you've always dreamed of?

Send us a text#12 - It is human nature to run from our fears. But this stops us from living our lives to their fullest. Fear is healthy in some cases. Flight may keep us alive. But it also keeps us from pursuing our dreams. In running, it may hinder us from obtaining our goals. Is fear holding you back? Carrie Barrett's podcast I Would Never Do That focuses on people who do incredible things, in all walks of life. Each guest is courageous and magnificent. In my longest episode and interview, I talk to her about her incredible guests, her life and her love of physical fitness.

Send us a text#11 - What do we do when we're injured? Do we shrug it off and hope for the best? Do we stick to our race? Or do we defer and seek out help? Unfortunately, too many of us do not get the help we need through physical therapy. Maura O'Connor has been a physical therapist for a long time. She explains to us how important it is to get the help we need and why we runners should never be afraid to ask for help. I also go over a more effective way to foam roll. 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#9 - Sometimes, the most horrific events happen when we least expect. In 2018, the Carr Fire burn hundreds of thousands of acres of forest land and over a thousand homes in the Redding area of Northern California. Ryan Spitz had just taken over as owner and race director of Shasta Trail Runs. I talked to Ryan about the fire, the running community and what Shasta Trail Runs plans for 2019 and beyond.

Send us a text#8 - Healthy eating and weight control are huge part of the running equation. What we eat affects how we run. Sure, we may be able to get away with eating anything and everything when we're younger, but as we age, our diet shows up in our running times. Although we may not be running for time, it is still good to help ourselves through eating right. I go over some popular eating plans and what we can do to help ourselves. Remember: we are all works in progress.

There are tons of running and fitness podcasts to choose from for runners. One of the best is RunBuzz. Steve Carmichael started it five years ago and it's going strong today with over 100 episodes. I talk with Steve today about the podcast and the community that was born and has grown from it.

Send us a text#5 - Runners love running, it's our favorite thing. But most of us have to do more to keep our bodies strong enough to stay out on the road and trail injury-free.
