Martha Runs The World Podcast

Send us a text#29 - Ken Michal has been running ultras a long time. He's also been podcasting a long time. Running Stupid has been up and running for over 10 years. It's unlike any other podcast of its kind. His personable approach; friendly, determined, yet somehow, humorous mannerism is perfect for a personal account of all his races. He gives us race reports like no other, especially his Hurt 100 reports, they are not to be missed. Hawaii's Hurt race is one of the hardest of all the Hundos. He tells us why he loves it so much in this episode and why we all need to keep going. He also explains what happened at this year's Western States. You will be motivated to run after this episode, or at least to dream about running, he has that kind of affect.

Send us a text#28 - David Roche is first and foremost a top notch running coach. He couldn't be more proud that one of his students, Clare Gallagher, won Western States 100 this year, as well as two more had amazing times But when I mention how inspiring his writing is, he shrugs it off. I always look forward to his Trail Running Magazine articles and his new book The Happy Runner is a "must read". Speaking with him was a pleasure and indeed this episode should brighten anyone's day, even if they couldn't get their run in.

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#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/
