Episode 3-264 – Steve Chopper Rides Across the English Channel

Hello and welcome to episode 3-264 of the RunRunLive podcast. I’m coming to you live from Sweden this week where I’m working with one of my guys on a client presentation. Pretty place. I’ve never been here before. I’ve got a Friday afternoon meeting so I could not get a flight back on Friday and they didn’t have any flights until Sunday, so I’ve got a free tourist day on Saturday and I’m going to explore Copenhagen. It’s been busy. I was down in Atlanta last week then I drove up to Maine/Canada ...

Episode 3-263 – Brad Warner – HardCore Zen, Punk Rock and Monster Movies

We have a great show for you today. I have an interesting chat about transformation and Zen with Brad Warner who is an actual Zen Master. I like to bring you these non-running, but related conversations to help us think outside the box. As we know from experience, thinking outside the box can help us find ‘the third way’. In section one I’ll talk about change and the elasticity of human systems. In section two I’ll talk about heat running – not the typical ’10 things to remember’ post but a deep...

Episode 3-262 – Dave Griffin – After the Last PR

This is your amiable host Chris and today we’ve got a worthy show for you. I talk to Dave Girffin about his book “The Last PR” and we delve into some of the things we’ve learned from running. In Section One I’ll talk about avoiding hubris and the difference between ‘good’ and ‘great’. In Section Two I’ll take a different look at the 1600 meter workouts and my current training program to see if we can tease out some of the reasons behind why it’s so successful for me and how to extend the method....

Episode 3-261 – A transformational life with Tara

Hi. This is your old friend Chris. Welcome. Today we are going to talk to Tara who is a tremendous example of someone who has transformed their life. I would say she has transformed her life with an exclamation point. You can learn from that. In section one I’m going to talk about how I stimulate myself into creativity when the need arises. And in Section 2 we’ll talk about ‘moving the curve’ in your race efforts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Episode 3-260 – Running across NH with David Salvas

Today we have a great chat with Dave Salvas who is getting ready to run across NH and is a veteran runner from New England. We go through the natural evolution, the ebb and flow of a running life. I think it will give you something to think about. I’m going to talk up my thoughts on how to practice leadership in a crisis in section one – having had time to think about and practice these skills at different points in my life. Remember this is just my opinion and thought – I’m not a professional s...

3-259 – Dave McGillivray and the 2013 Boston Marathon

Hello my friends and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast Episode 3-259. I think you’ll understand that today’s show is going to be a bit different. I had already interviewed Dave McGillivray about the Boston Marathon last week, before the race, and I think it’s appropriate to air that today. I also have written and recorded my race story for you. It was hard for me but I thought I owed it to you. It’s my story. It is petty and incomparable to the horrors that others saw and experienced and are sti...

Episode 3-258 – Dean Smith Works to Transform his Community

We have a great show for you today. I have a great chat with Pastor Dean Smith about his efforts to use running to transform the lives of his community. In section one I am going to give you some thoughts on permission. In section two I’m going to analyze my fitness and what it means for Boston. It’s been a long winter but as I look out my window there is no snow. There is sunshine. And the chance of being reborn with the spring. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 3-257 – Michael Sandler the Pied Piper of Barefoot

Today we have an interview with famous author and barefoot running pied piper Michael Sandler . I had read Michael’s book, “ Barefoot Running ” last summer when I was in the midst of the plantar fasciitis doldrums. I love the idea of being able to lope off into the woods unshod for hours on end, but I never got that far in my experiment. He’s getting ready for a book tour for his new book “ Barefoot Walking ”. I tried to avoid the usual lines of conversation with Michael and we have a nice chat ...

Welcome to episode 3-256 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Today we have a long interview with Kristina who earned the moniker “Danger Girl” by converting herself from the couch to a competitive downhill mountain bike racer. And then, after crashing too many times she had to limp away from that sport and to spite her doctors took up trail running and now is a competitive ultra-runner. I’m going to give you some ideas about how to look and sound brilliant during moments of truth in the life balance sect...

Episode 255 – Matt’s Life Song

Today we have a good chat with Matt who has one of THE most interesting stories of life change I’ve come across yet. It starts with the brutal murder of his mother and his descent into a life of drugs and weirdness in the 1970’s – but he saw the light. He climbed out of it and he’s now an ultra runner and happy balanced guy. He was nice enough to open up to all of this in his new book called “Life Song”. And he and I chat about it. I have been training really well. I’ve had some very promising w...

Episode 3-252 – Zoe Ramano – Unsupported Run Across the USA

Hello my friends and welcome to Episode 3-252 of the RunRunLive podcast. Hope everyone enjoyed their Saturnalia and winter solstice celebrations. We have a great show for you today. I have a conversation with Zoe Romano, a young woman from Maine who decided, as a young woman to run across the USA unsupported. You and I have been witness to a few of these run-across-the-USA stories. Many times they do it for charity or to call attention to something but what really fascinates me is the people lik...

Episode 251 – Jon Metz - Kona Koach

We have a great show for you today and we have a lot of ground to cover so strap on your yaktrax and hang on to your running buddies and let’s get to it. It’s a cold Massachusetts Friday afternoon in my life. I’m finishing up some tasks on my task list so that I can burst forth from my home office and into the trails for an easy 7 miler with the wonder dog. I’ve got a set of live Grateful Dead on the headphones that my friend, that inglorious bastard of a demented genius, the Zen Runner tipped m...

Hello and Welcome to the final episode of the RunRunLive 2.0 podcast. This is Chris your host and we have a mediocre show for you today, Hah! See? All these years I’ve been saying ‘we have a great show for you today!” I was lying to manipulate your emotions. How do you feel? Used? Emotionally deceived? Betrayed? Not me. I feel great. In today’s show we will do a little of this and a little of that including a long chat with my running buddy Frank who was the interviewee of episode 1 of the RunRu...
