Episode 5-5485 – Nate Talks About Parenting Hello my running friends. And so, the universe finds us together again. It is a fine Monday morning at the end of April bleeding into May and the fulsome fecundity of mother nature bursts free from the oppressive bonds of winter. The birds are singing, the rabbits are munching, the flowers show their timid faces in the new dawn of longer days and happier times. And here we are. Hosted on Acast.

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.” A...

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 Turn...

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-...

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 f...

Hello my friends and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast. My name is Chris and I am your host. Here is a quick introduction for anyone listening for the first time. I have been an amateur runner my whole life. I got serious in the late 90’s and it changed my life, like many obsessions will. I started this podcast in 2007 to share all the wonderful things I had learned. It has been a gift to me and I‘ve met so many great people who have enriched my life. There are close to 500 episodes that span a ...

4-16-2023 Update Well my friends. Tomorrow is Patriots Day in Boston. And we all know what that means. That’s right, it’s the Boston Marathon. I’ve got a few friends running. The weather looks pretty good. Sara Hall is running and Des Linden. The fastest man in the world, Kipchoge is looking to complete his sweep of the majors. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see a sub-2-hour finish from him! That would be something. I am running a bit again. I have spent the last 2-3 month slowly trying to get myself ba...

Update: Hello my friends, perhaps even my running friends. Welcome to another episode of the comically directionless RunRunLive Podcast. I think we’re about 14 years into this podcast journey. It’s funny how time flies… There really weren’t that many of us back in 2007. It was a small family of runners talking about running with other runners. It was me, Steve, Nigel, Nic and Dan, Kevin with the extra-milers and Chopper. And a few others. I bet, if you asked any of us we’d say we never expected ...

Bike Report… Here is a slightly more scripted version of my 2 day ride across Massachusetts. I scheduled it as a 4-day adventure. This is one of those things that you learn from doing long or hard or ultra-type events. Give yourself some buffer time. I have always violated this rule. Partly because my life has always been busy, or I have convinced myself that it was, and I had to rush to get to events and then rush back. I have always tried to not be that guy who talks too much about this stuff ...

jzIrkPZauZpTNaU59OD5 Intro: Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4 478 of the RunRunLive podcast. You may have noticed that I missed a few weeks in a row here. It was a combination of things. Life getting in the way, of course, like it always does, but also, I’m burnt out on the podcast. But – the bottom line is that it isn’t serving me anymore. And if it’s not serving me, then it’s not serving you. And I’m a nice guy. Nice guys are notoriously bad enders. They don’t want to offend anyone. Ti...
