EP 57: Strength Training for Runners

Legendary ultra runner,race director and overall bad ass Mr. Steve Durbin joins Stephen on the show. Durbin Race Management puts on some of the most unique and challenging races to be had. From the “Baby Barkley” 50K that gives you a taste of the Barkley Marathons to the super fast Tunnel Hill 50/100 and many other amazing running adventures. We dive into what got Steve into this crazy addiction we all love and how he hasn’t let back surgery stop him from enjoying the lifestyle. Stephen admits he asked Mr. Durbin on the show for selfish reasons as he plans on making the Tunnel Hill 50/100 his first 100 miler in 2017 and was looking for some tips and history of the race. We find out about several records that have been set at The Tunnel Hill including Coree Woltering’s blazing fast 50 mile record this year. You can hear about Coree’s exciting run over at The Negative Splits Podcast EP19. Mr. Durbin shares some valuable tips on running long distance such as fueling correctly, he recommends real food and Sword Energy Drink to keep the stomach in check. Most importantly though is your mental state, do you want to hurt for a little bit and achieve something amazing or quit and regret it for life? I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed talking with Mr. Durbin and hopefully will be having him back on with another very special guest in the near future for a good old fashioned running B.S. session. Andy will return on the next episode of The Heartland Running Podcast.

Legendary ultra runner,race director and overall bad ass Mr. Steve Durbin joins Stephen on the show. Durbin Race Management puts on some of the most unique and challenging races to be had. From the “Baby Barkley” 50K that gives you a taste of the Barkley Marathons to the super fast Tunnel Hill 50/100 and many other amazing running adventures. We dive into what got Steve into this crazy addiction we all love and how he hasn’t let back surgery stop him from enjoying the lifestyle. Stephen admits he asked Mr. Durbin on the show for selfish reasons as he plans on making the Tunnel Hill 50/100 his first 100 miler in 2017 and was looking for some tips and history of the race. We find out about several records that have been set at The Tunnel Hill including Coree Woltering’s blazing fast 50 mile record this year. You can hear about Coree’s exciting run over at The Negative Splits Podcast EP19. Mr. Durbin shares some valuable tips on running long distance such as fueling correctly, he recommends real food and Sword Energy Drink to keep the stomach in check. Most importantly though is your mental state, do you want to hurt for a little bit and achieve something amazing or quit and regret it for life? I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed talking with Mr. Durbin and hopefully will be having him back on with another very special guest in the near future for a good old fashioned running B.S. session. Andy will return on the next episode of The Heartland Running Podcast.

Take a Licking Keep on Ticking EP8

STOP WEARING THOSE NARROW TOE BOX SHOES AND SPREAD YOUR TOES! Dr. Ray McClanahan from Northwest Foot &amp; Ankle joins us on the show to explain why improper foot position might be causing all those nagging injuries we suffer from as runners. Dr. Ray explains why he embraced a natural foot care philosophy and re-tooled his entire practice around that philosophy. We dig deep into why you should stop wearing “traditional” running shoes and transition into a zero drop, wide toe box shoe. Dr. McClanahan is the inventor of Correct Toes Correct Toes help the foot rehabilitate from the negative effects of conventionally shaped footwear. The device, made of soft, flexible silicone, encourages the toes back into their natural alignment found at birth. With progressive and consistent use while active and weight bearing, toes align and feet strengthen, restoring your foot’s original position and function.

The Ballad of Bobby Ballard EP21

Tina Muir

2016 was a big year for Tina Muir.  In March she fulfilled a lifelong dream of representing Great Britain in the Half Marathon World Championships.  A few weeks later in April she ran the London Marathon in 2:37 which was a PR at the time. She then finished out 2016 with the California International Marathon in December, where she finished fifth overall and lowered her personal best to 2:36. In February Tina shocked the running world by announcing her decision to step down from competitive running.   However 2017 and 2018 are shaping up to be very special years for her.

 Tina Muir EP43

Welcome Eric Johnson the owner of Fleet Feet Springfield, a specialty running store in Springfield Missouri. We learn a little about Eric, and a ton about the day to day operation of a running store. Why Eric purchased the business. How the staff is trained to put the customer in the correct shoe. How products are selected to go on the shelves, the importance of a well fitting bra and much, much more. Stephen talks about the Hawk Marathon on the Race Recap. Things didn’t go well with the weather, but runners and race directors overcame obstacles to make it happen. Stephen even overcame his not-so advisable pre-race meal. You’ll have to listen to get the details about that and his Heartland Running score for the race. In the Gear Review Andy discusses the Inov-8 RoadClaw 275, Stephen compares the Inov-8 Trail Talon 275 to the Niki Tera Kiger 3, he is foaming at the mouth to get a hold of the Inov-8 Rocklite 305 when they are released. and Eric reviews the Hoka Challenger ATR 2 that he bought right before the Pikes Peak Marathon. Wrapping up this busy episode with the Runners Route Report, Eric describes a run at Wilson’s Creek, and Andy reports on the massive Katy Trail that he failed to complete.

Welcome Eric Johnson the owner of Fleet Feet Springfield, a specialty running store in Springfield Missouri. We learn a little about Eric, and a ton about the day to day operation of a running store. Why Eric purchased the business. How the staff is trained to put the customer in the correct shoe. How products are selected to go on the shelves, the importance of a well fitting bra and much, much more. Stephen talks about the Hawk Marathon on the Race Recap. Things didn’t go well with the weather, but runners and race directors overcame obstacles to make it happen. Stephen even overcame his not-so advisable pre-race meal. You’ll have to listen to get the details about that and his Heartland Running score for the race. In the Gear Review Andy discusses the Inov-8 RoadClaw 275, Stephen compares the Inov-8 Trail Talon 275 to the Niki Tera Kiger 3, he is foaming at the mouth to get a hold of the Inov-8 Rocklite 305 when they are released. and Eric reviews the Hoka Challenger ATR 2 that he bought right before the Pikes Peak Marathon. Wrapping up this busy episode with the Runners Route Report, Eric describes a run at Wilson’s Creek, and Andy reports on the massive Katy Trail that he failed to complete.

It's All About The Bra Ep4

Welcome to the show Andy Aubin,Therese Schweyer,William Baez from The Sub 30 Club.  The Sub 30 Club was originally started in April of 2012 when Ted Spiker, contributor to Runner’s World and the man behind The Big Guy Blog on runnersworld.com, set out on a quest to break 30 min in a 5K. This represented a “challenging but doable” goal for him at the time, being a middle- to back- of–the-pack runner.  He put the word out through his blog to see if anybody else might want to join him in his efforts. He was expecting five or six people…a dozen at best. Within the first day he had over 100 responses.  As of Today, there are over 5,700 members and the focus of the club has shifted from the specific goal of a 29:59 5K to the spirit that started the club, embracing runners of all levels chasing every goal imaginable. There are members who are brand new to running and those who are chasing goals in races of all distances.  We have Boston qualifiers, ironman triathletes, and ultra-runners.  The club truly welcomes all runners.
