Hey everyone... we are back after a long hiatus! I needed a break over the summer that turned into a longer break than anticipated, but I always knew I would be back. Thank you for your patience with me and thank you to everyone who asked how I was doing.
In this episode, you get two parts. Part 1 is a re-introduction of me, who I am, and what I believe. Most of this you might already know, but perhaps you will hear some new facts about me. Either way, I felt it important to re-start by grounding you in who I am and what I believe as a coach.Â
Then, we turn to a chat with Coach Cathy Casey who is launching a new virtual group to prepare people specifically for the Boston Marathon. With her, we talk specifically about preparing for the challenges of the Boston course and how to shape your training accordingly. This will certainly be useful for Boston racers, but will also be useful for anyone tackling a hilly course in the spring. Her new group will start on December 9th, and you can find more info here:Â https://www.roguerunning.com/virtual-group-training.
If you want to be coached up on a future episode of Running Rogue, then email me - [email protected]. If you want to get on the list for Cathy's new group then email [email protected]. It's good to be back!

In this one, we are going to talk about how to achieve BALANCE in your running in two different ways.
a. How do you balance running and life? I give you 5 thoughts on how to find time for training while balancing work, family, and relationships.
b. How do you balance finding the edge in performance with overall health? I give you 5 thoughts on how to find and test your limits without sacrificing long term health and longevity.
Balance isn't easy and requires constant work, but I hope these ideas will help you get the yin and yang right for you.
Thank you to Logan and Mikhael for the show ideas that sparked this episode!

James Dodds and I had a little bit of fun with this episode, and we hope you enjoy it. We riff on 6 topics that have been the object of our recent coaching curiosities or ruminations. The topics range from the limits of easy aerobic volume to maxing out in-run carbs and to the science (and potentially hocus pocus) of advanced recovery techniques (and more). We hope you enjoy this one!

It is that time of year where everyone is rapidly falling out of training due to sickness. When that happens, panic mode sets in, and you might try to simply train through it. However, that can be dangerous and cause you to extend your sickness even more. Instead when sick, you need to give your body the time, ability, and resources to temporarily focus on getting healthy instead of getting fitter.
In this episode, I talk about 5 things to consider when managing sickness during training including when to stop and then how to gradually rebuild once healthy again. I do not wish getting sick on any of you, but if it happens, then this episode is for you.
