#384 - This week we're having fun talking all about science in running! It's a hodge podge of different science facts about running: how we runners are smarter than non-runners (it's true, I think!), how your attitude will determine if you get sick or stay well after a race and so much more! So let's have fun with Running Science!

#383 - Have you ever gotten lost on a trail run, during a race? Most of us have at one time or another. Were you able to find your way back quickly? Most people do, but there may be that one time when you run into trouble. This week, I give you some help to keep you on the right path. Trail running takes focus and I know that's not so easy when the scenery is so amazing! But, it's worth taking your time because you'll have a better run if you do.

#382 - There's no exact line to say who's adventurous and who isn't. There are some guidelines and these loose guidelines can be applied to anyone who's trying something out of their comfort zone. I don't feel anyone else should pass judgement on us when we determine where that line is. There are too many in running and endurance sports telling us we need to take more chances, try more, do more. That's a personal decision and no one can decide that but us. This week, I give us something to think about, perhaps on your next run. Are you the type who likes to try next experiences head-on? Or do you like to stick with what you know? As I said, there are no judgements, no trying to talk you into doing something new. That's entirely your choice. We're just doing some long run thinking today. Enjoy the run!

#381 - Big Pharma is always with us, it seems. You can't watch any sporting event, stream any movie or show, watch any video or do anything on any media without seeing an ad touting GLP-1s. This week, I explain what they are and how they can help and hurt runners. There are positives to using them and there are negatives. Many people are getting help from them and many people are using them incorrectly. I try to take a wide-angled look at this new-ish drug that's just one of many in our society's long history of diet drugs.

#380 - In 2021, a new very long ultrarace started in Arizona by Aravaipa Running. The Cocodona 250 began and what an incredible race it is! If you know anything about Aravaipa Running, then you know it's expertly organized, and though very difficult, you will have the best support possible on the course. I take a look at the changes that have happened since it started and what makes this race so special. And why you may want to one day run it!

#379 - It's tough enough to run with the demands of our busy lives. Add migraines into the mix and well, you could have many missed training runs and even races! Millions of Americans suffer from migraines, and many of those are runners. This week, I take a detailed look at migraines and how we can if not avoid them all together, reduce their effects so they don't hurt our running careers.

#378 - A couple weeks ago I did an episode on animals to watch out for on your runs. This week, I'm going over plants that could be harmful if you're not careful. If you are careful, stick to the trail and keep your eyes out, you'll be fine, but sometimes we take a few more chances than we should, so this may help you identify plants that don't like to play nice.

#377 - There are many ways we runners hurt our training runs and races and we don't even realize it! This week, I go over a few different ways we hurt our running and how we can either stop doing it or choose something more helpful.

I also realized after I recorded this episode, that I left off a few, so there will be a Part 2 coming along in a few weeks! Sometimes we are our own worst enemy, but we don't have to be!

Also, if you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel, I upload at least one short every week and I'll start adding longer separate videos soon!
