Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-499 of the RunRunLive podcast.
This week we talk with Anna who has written a book about exercise routines for people over 60. I got her query email and thought, ‘yeah, that’s interesting’.
So here we are.
In section one I’ll talk about how we can adapt our training and racing goals to this inevitable onslaught of time.
In section two I’ll talk about being a creative and what I have gleaned from my recent survey of a bunch of ‘how to’ books about creativity.

Episode 5-498 – Dr. Shuck - How I got to 165 lbs.
If you think it’s time to get serious about your health, and take action for yourself, reach out to Rachel at www.drshuck.com/rrl and have a conversation.
Hello my running friends.
Welcome to episode 5-498 of the RunRunLive podcast.
How are you all doing? Another wonderful week, yeah?
You’ll be delighted to know that I survived my birthday. And, yes this is an interesting phase of life I’ve entered into.
Last episode we talked about memento mori – or remembering that death is always there. This was a big thing in the middle ages because, death was always there. It’s a bit more intellectualized now. We’re not going to die from stepping on a nail or a intestinal parasite, probably, but death is still there.
A quote that could be attributed to a 100 people, but I chose Jim Morrison, “No one gets out Alive”.
So for me, with this birthday, Death may not be in the room with me warming up, but he may be sleeping on a futon next door thinking about it!
Paradoxically I’m doing great!
Today we do a summary review of my campaign over the summer to get down to 165 pounds with my nutrition coach Rachel, or as she is now known, ‘Dr. Shuck’. It really makes me wonder why we don’t start teaching nutrition in early education.
There is a basic grab-bag of topics that I wish someone had taught me. Like basic financial planning. And how there are different personality types. And the importance of living in the present.
In section one I’ll talk about the relationship between losing weight and running faster.
In section two I’ll talk about the compound effect.

Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-497 of the RunRunLive podcast.
Once more we find ourselves together my friends. How are you navigating the weirdness of these days?
For today’s interview we talk with Dr. Savannah Santiago who is a podiatrist and runner from San Diego doing her residency in Indianna.
First, let me say that this is the most fun I’ve had talking to someone in a long time. She was so positive and engaged – just glowing with positive karma. And it just makes me happy to know that souls like her exist in the world.
I’ve started, or reverted to, using Zoom to record these interviews. That means we are usually both on camera during the chat – so I get to see the body language of who I’m talking to. I almost want to start posting the video versions of this because I think it would be fun for you to put a face with a voice.
In section one I’m going to get all geeky runner guy and do a deep dive into tempo training in general and surge runs in particular – which my running buddies mocked me by calling them ‘Serge’ runs.
In section two I’ll ramble about getting old.
It’s my birthday next week. And I think I’ve been having the same conversation every birthday since I turned 30!

Episode 5-496 – Coach Nora and some frequently asked questions
Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-496 of the RunRunLive podcast.
Today we have a fun chat with Nora who is a coach and athlete about frequently asked questions. We ran into each other when I was answering running questions on Facebook. As always Nora’s contact links will be in the show notes. If you want to take a look at her practice it’s at mileaftermile.co.
I am consistently pushing this podcast out every two weeks while I can manage it, because I enjoy doing so. But, I’m not going to focus so much on the fine details for now because I just don’t have the time.
This is the RunRunLive ‘compromise’ version, where we don’t edit as tightly and don’t polish as much. But we still have conversations and try to have fun.
In section one I talk about shoes. And if you don’t agree with me, there’s going to be a rumble.

Episode 5-495 – Maddi and some trail magic
Hello my running friends.
Hello my running friends. It’s only been a couple weeks but it feels like a lifetime.
When we last spoke I was on top of all my training and fitness goals for this cycle.
And then the universe stepped in and rebalanced the karma for me by breaking my collarbone.
I’ll tell you all about that in Section two today.
In section one we’ll talk about some more running advice I have been dispensing.
And today’s interview is with Maddi who is a self-described trail bum who just stepped off the Appalachian Trail.

Episode 5-494
Hello my running friends, yes I let this one slide a week, because I needed to align it with the off-week of my other podcast – the apocalypse podcast – in which I am entering my 5th season now.
Honestly, I have crowded my calendar so much it’s hard to get done all the stuff I’m signed up for.
Today I will talk about one of those top 5 questions from the running forums – how to stay motivated and get the workouts done.
I’ll talk a bit about how I do goal setting and why.
And I’ll give you an update on my own goals for the summer that, for better or worse, I’m closing in on the deadlines for.
Today’s interview is with the race director for the Mamba 100 in Memphis. That is my goal race for this campaign. I am glad I talked to him because I acquired insights into the course that filled in some blanks for me.
So, sit back, (unless you’re in a chair with no back, because you’ll sprawl onto the floor).
Sprawl is an interesting word that come to us through Old English and Danish. It rolls off the tongue nicely doesn’t it? Almost onomatopoeia.
Anyhow – sit back or sprawl back and let’s go on an adventure together.
On with the show.
Interview
… Thanks so much. Great talking to you. www.mambatrailrunners.com is our website.

Outro
Ok my running friends – I have to tell you I was quite relieved after my discussion with James. When I talked to him a few weeks ago, I did not yet have any big weks under my belt and the 100K distance was looking a bit daunting.
But, after our talk I realized that the course is runnable and it’s well supported so good news all around for what my goal is.
Now I just need to stay healthy for a few more weeks.
What kind of mileage do you need to have for this distance? I think the mileage isn’t as important as you basic strength and time on your feet. So, cumulative fitness is more important than any set mileage goal.
When I ran 50K, my long run was probably 20 miles, but I was coming off a marathon campaign.
When I ran 50 miles, my long run was 36 miles, and that was probably overkill. But it was my first ultra so it was ok.
When I trained for 100miles my longest run was a 10-12 hour overnight run, so probably in the mid-30’s. But, again for these longer distances, it’s all about time on your feet and fitness. All these longer distances are grouped together for impact in the training calendar – so you are getting that time on your feet and running on tired legs effect.
My long run for this cycle is probably going to be 30ish miles, again on tired legs.
I’ve been listening to a lot of audio books. I find it’s a great way to get content in parallel with my training and dead time. It’s so convenient now with the library app.
Last week I listened to Ryan Holiday’s Discipline is Destiny. Great listen when you training and trying to get stuff done. I would highly recommend it on audiobook. It’s read by the author.
There is a lot of the ‘same old’ stoic philosophy stuff, but it’s a good reminder and might get you motivated.
So my friends, I pushed this episode to line up with the off week of my other post-apocalyptic podcast After the Apocalypse, soon to be a series of novels, lol…
Keep pushing, keep being smart, take time to learn, take time for yourself, sharpen your saw and I’l see you out there.

Episode 5-493 – Interview Les is Made
Hello my running friends.
This week I present the last of the repurposed interview that I did originally for my other show “After the Apocalypse”.
This is a friendly talk with Led for his Les is Made podcast – and fittingly he is really interested in talking about running.
I had planned to write an article that dove deeper into some of the frequently asked questions. But, I’m out of day today and I figure something is better than nothing.
I had another satirical piece on how women running together have an entirely different conversation than men talking to each other – based on my admittedly biased observations.
But, alas there is only so much gas in the tank and I have miles to go before I sleep.
So – My friends, I’ll give you an update on my training – drop the interview and slink off stage left in a embarred shuffle.
My training is going great. Within the last 7 days I have completed a nice 12 mile trail run, a 100K bike and capped it off with a 100 mile bike ride with my buddies up to Saco Maine yesterday. Everything went well. We got perfect weather. Nobody crashed. No flat tires.
And we made the trip, with breaks in just about 10 hours.
My second goal of weight loss is going well also. I poked my nose under the 173 pound flap of the tent this week and with my training load increasing it should continue to trend down.
I also finished the last additional chapter for the first novel in my apocalypse series – so getting very close to the end of the editing process and having a finished manuscript to kick out the door like a grown child who has tarried too long.
Funny story – I actually brought that final chapter to my new Monday morning writers group for a read this past week as well. I was scared like a little kid having to stand in front of the class. But, they liked it. And gave me some good feedback.
All is not lost.
I grabbed the race director of the Mamba 100 for an interview and I’ll shove that up for the next show. You know me. Why read the race web site when you can just talk to the race director?
I was a little worried about running a 100k in the trails in the dark. But he put my mind at ease. The course is in a very gentle trail system right in a park in the center of Memphis.
That’s the next adventure!
So – my friends. This is it for commentary,. I won’t be back at the end.
Stay in touch. Wish me well. And I will see you out there.

Episode 5-492 – Publishing Sci-Fi George Allen Miller
Hello my running friends.
This week I’m continuing my streak of double dipping on the interviews from my other podcast and presenting you with George Allen Miller. He’s an author and we have a nice, tight chat about the creative process and some aspects of publishing and our favorite Sci-Fi.
So - if you are one of those double dippers who already listened to my After the Apocalypse podcast you can fast forward through the interview section, but I will also have some unique content of you as well
In section one I’ll continue my Runner FAQ conversation. In section two I’ll do an old-man nutrition rant.

Episode 5-490 – Fran Tabor
Hello my running friends.
Today we’ve got a great show for you. I speak with Fran Tabor, who is one of those brilliantly independent thinkers – a real renaissance person. We discussed Alien first contact and lots of other stuff. I think you’ll enjoy it.
In section one I’m going to talk through some of the responses that I have been giving to the “Runners Loving Running” Facebook group – because I decided to take a new tack. Instead of ridiculing the questions for being absurd, I decided to give thoughtful answers.
It’s ‘tack’ by the way. T A C K. Not ‘tact’. Tack is a sailing term that means the direction you are going. When you change tack in a sailboat, the captain yells ‘Coming about’ and then the mainsail boom swings around to catch the wind and knocks you overboard – setting up the meet cute or the humorous plot element in any movie involving sailboats.
I talk about my new audio-book adventure in section two.
Because the interview is of a normal size, and I have room.

Episode 5-490 – Stoned Genius
Hello my running friends.
Hey! 6 new episodes in a row. But I am cheating by re-tasking interviews I did for my other show. So if you are a listener to my After the Apocalypse feed, this is the same interview and you’ve already heard it.
I will stick a quick article into section one with my thoughts on what to drink on run and hydration in general. I follow this annoying Facebook group called ‘runners loving running’ that has these really dumb beginner running questions and I though it would be fun to answer some of them.
This a long interview. 1:30. So you have been warned. It is me being interviewed by Rodney the Stoned Genius on his podcast, named, interestingly enough “the Stoned Genius” and he was nice enough to share the audio with me.
On with the show.
Section Onehttps://runrunlive.com/what-should-i-drinkFeatured InterviewThat’s what I love about podcasting. Any curious soul can find and connect with their tribe.
If like what he’s doing you can find more at the Stoned Genius Podcast.
Show description:

Hello my running friends.
Now, I see you… you’re shaking your head.
5 in a row? What are you doing Chris? I just got around to removing the RunRunLive podcast from my old phone and here you are dropping conten t again? How can we trust you again? You’ve put us through so much.
Yup – I’m on fire folks. I even baked up some new bumpers. Besides I am using the interviews for both my podcasts so there are economies of scale.

Hello my running friends.
Here we go – 4 episodes in a row!
I have actually gotten messages from people commenting on their surprise and delight, well surprise anyhow, that I have been able to keep it up.
One of my long-standing tricks is to have an interview. This is also why there are so many interview-based podcasts. It’s a great way to leverage other people’s knowledge and energy for your own benefit – I bit like a parasitic worm or a vampire.
Insert rim shot sound effect.
But – seriously folks – today we have a chat with Roger Smith. Roger is a scientist and science fiction writer. I’m doing a series of interviews of scientists and science fiction writers.
If you also listen to my apocalypse podcast you’ll see some duplication. I’m using the same interviews over there. The difference will be podcast specific content, like the intro and outro, and here, in the RunRunLive podcast I’ll sneak in some short articles about some running topics.

Hello my running friends.
Here we go – 3 episodes in a row!
On today’s show we’ve got the recording of when I was on Adam Tinkoff’s show a few weeks ago.
This is a long interview…well, not really an interview, more of a conversation. It’s too long for me to edit out the slow bits, like when Adam is trying to get his AI to work. You’ll just have to muddle through.
But we do have some good conversations about community and we do reconnect with some old friends from the running community and we do some reminiscing.
Since this is so long I won’t stick anything else in here, but I’ll come back at the end with an update.
On with the show!

On today’s show we talk to my nutrition coach Rachel. I’ve worked off an on with Rachel for many years. She recently earned her doctorate and she is looking for new clients.
She gave me a good excuse to do another chat. It all works out. You get another show and I get to catch up with Dr. Rachel.
I’ll talk a little about my nutrition journey in section one.
In section two I’ll talk a bit about the scary and fun world of artificial intelligence.

Episode 5-484 – the one about the treeIntroduction:
Hello and welcome to episode 5-484 of the RunRunLive Podcast. I’m calling it 5-484. That’s as good a number as any. At this point we are beyond the specificity of rational numbers and, some would say, rationality in general.
Today I’m going to tell a story about a tree. I’ll give you the update on my current entropy challenge. Because it’s always something, isn’t it? And I have an idea to start a new segment called “Stupid running questions.”
And, maybe I’ll talk about mortality.

RunRunLive Episode 5483 – The one about 5K’s and Relay races and retirement
…
Hello my running friends.
How are you doing today? It’s winter here in New England. The shortest days of the year are upon us.
The seasons change and so do I.
Which is a lyric from a song by the Guess Who called “No Time”, from an album called “Canned Wheat” released in 1969. The Guess Who was an influential Canadian rock band from Winnipeg of all places.
Randy Bachman from the band went on to success with Bachman Turner Overdrive.
Apologies for not getting a show out. I have ideas in my head. I just don’t have the animation to write them down and record.
Something is better than nothing they say. But, the older I get, the more I understand the value of nothing as well.
Today I’m going to catch you up on a few races I’ve run and some other stuff as I work my way into shape for my next race, which is the Napa Valley Marathon in March.
Now that I’ve put Boston aside as a goal race, I can add more fun stuff and travel races to my calendar. This year my wife and I will head out to Napa Valley to run the race and then hang around in wine country.
Because, my friends, life is short.
Memento Mori.

5-482
Hello my friends and welcome to episode 482 of the RunRunLive Podcast.
Today I’m going to gift you with a long screed entitled “Zero to Hero, How to go from zero miles and injured to a marathon in 6 months.”
But, before I go there let’s do some business.
I went back to the old RunRunLive 4.0 bumpers, because I like them. I didn’t like the new ones that I had done for me. The old ones are voiced by members of our community.
That opening bumper about squeezing the life from lemons is by old-friend John. The strumming guitar and singing are the styling of Adam Tinkoff. The ‘move you to the exit’ is Steve Chopper. And the harmony on the last bit of the outro is Adam and Eddie Marathon.
If I ever do interviews again, the ‘featured interview’ bumper is a young version of my talented daughter Katie.
They make me happy and hopefully make you happy too.
Secondly I spent some time last weekend loading old shows into the new ACast feed. I got all the way back to 250 – which would be some time in 2012, I believe.
This is why episode 251 errantly dropped into your feed as a new show. I have to back date them to get them in the right order. That show was from January 2013, I must have missed a save button. I have fixed it.
But- in all seriousness, that show is probably a good example of the format that I used to have back then. I have not listened to it, but if you have, that is an 11-year time travel into the past. If you liked it there are plenty more of similar size and shape.
At some point I’m going to go back and listen to all of these from the beginning and learn something about myself.
Other than that – enjoy this essay on training around our constraints.
On with the show.

Introduction:
Hello my endurance athletic old friends.
Welcome to episode 5-481.
How are we on this fine fall day? Up here in New England we have set the clocks back and it is now officially dark at 4:30ish, which makes me want to stab myself in the eye with an olive fork… Is there such a thing as an olive fork?
We like to tell ourselves up, with puritanical zeal, and righteous fury, that all this lack of sunlight and crappy weather makes us harder and more able to transverse this fickle world filled with chaos.
We say things like, “I was doing hill repeats in the freezing rain,” – wearing that suffering like holy stigmata.
But, what if it’s all a lie? What if all the adversity just makes us grumpy and hard to live with?
I don’t know – but I do know the best policy is to take it one day at a time, do what you can and embrace what the universe brings you because time is short!
