Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-497 of the RunRunLive podcast.
Once more we find ourselves together my friends. How are you navigating the weirdness of these days?
For todayās interview we talk with Dr. Savannah Santiago who is a podiatrist and runner from San Diego doing her residency in Indianna.
First, let me say that this is the most fun Iāve had talking to someone in a long time. She was so positive and engaged ā just glowing with positive karma. And it just makes me happy to know that souls like her exist in the world.
Iāve started, or reverted to, using Zoom to record these interviews. That means we are usually both on camera during the chat ā so I get to see the body language of who Iām talking to. I almost want to start posting the video versions of this because I think it would be fun for you to put a face with a voice.
In section one Iām going to get all geeky runner guy and do a deep dive into tempo training in general and surge runs in particular ā which my running buddies mocked me by calling them āSergeā runs.
In section two Iāll ramble about getting old.
Itās my birthday next week. And I think Iāve been having the same conversation every birthday since I turned 30!

Episode 5-496 ā Coach Nora and some frequently asked questions
Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-496 of the RunRunLive podcast.
Today we have a fun chat with Nora who is a coach and athlete about frequently asked questions. We ran into each other when I was answering running questions on Facebook. As always Noraās contact links will be in the show notes. If you want to take a look at her practice itās at mileaftermile.co.
I am consistently pushing this podcast out every two weeks while I can manage it, because I enjoy doing so. But, Iām not going to focus so much on the fine details for now because I just donāt have the time.
This is the RunRunLive ācompromiseā version, where we donāt edit as tightly and donāt polish as much. But we still have conversations and try to have fun.
In section one I talk about shoes. And if you donāt agree with me, thereās going to be a rumble.

Episode 5-495 ā Maddi and some trail magic
Hello my running friends.
Hello my running friends. Itās only been a couple weeks but it feels like a lifetime.
When we last spoke I was on top of all my training and fitness goals for this cycle.
And then the universe stepped in and rebalanced the karma for me by breaking my collarbone.
Iāll tell you all about that in Section two today.
In section one weāll talk about some more running advice I have been dispensing.
And todayās interview is with Maddi who is a self-described trail bum who just stepped off the Appalachian Trail.

Episode 5-494
Hello my running friends, yes I let this one slide a week, because I needed to align it with the off-week of my other podcast ā the apocalypse podcast ā in which I am entering my 5th season now.
Honestly, I have crowded my calendar so much itās hard to get done all the stuff Iām signed up for.
Today I will talk about one of those top 5 questions from the running forums ā how to stay motivated and get the workouts done.
Iāll talk a bit about how I do goal setting and why.
And Iāll give you an update on my own goals for the summer that, for better or worse, Iām closing in on the deadlines for.
Todayās interview is with the race director for the Mamba 100 in Memphis. That is my goal race for this campaign. I am glad I talked to him because I acquired insights into the course that filled in some blanks for me.
So, sit back, (unless youāre in a chair with no back, because youāll sprawl onto the floor).
Sprawl is an interesting word that come to us through Old English and Danish. It rolls off the tongue nicely doesnāt it? Almost onomatopoeia.
Anyhow ā sit back or sprawl back and letās go on an adventure together.
On with the show.
Interview
ā¦ Thanks so much. Great talking to you. www.mambatrailrunners.com is our website.

Outro
Ok my running friends ā I have to tell you I was quite relieved after my discussion with James. When I talked to him a few weeks ago, I did not yet have any big weks under my belt and the 100K distance was looking a bit daunting.
But, after our talk I realized that the course is runnable and itās well supported so good news all around for what my goal is.
Now I just need to stay healthy for a few more weeks.
What kind of mileage do you need to have for this distance? I think the mileage isnāt as important as you basic strength and time on your feet. So, cumulative fitness is more important than any set mileage goal.
When I ran 50K, my long run was probably 20 miles, but I was coming off a marathon campaign.
When I ran 50 miles, my long run was 36 miles, and that was probably overkill. But it was my first ultra so it was ok.
When I trained for 100miles my longest run was a 10-12 hour overnight run, so probably in the mid-30ās. But, again for these longer distances, itās all about time on your feet and fitness. All these longer distances are grouped together for impact in the training calendar ā so you are getting that time on your feet and running on tired legs effect.
My long run for this cycle is probably going to be 30ish miles, again on tired legs.
Iāve been listening to a lot of audio books. I find itās a great way to get content in parallel with my training and dead time. Itās so convenient now with the library app.
Last week I listened to Ryan Holidayās Discipline is Destiny. Great listen when you training and trying to get stuff done. I would highly recommend it on audiobook. Itās read by the author.
There is a lot of the āsame oldā stoic philosophy stuff, but itās a good reminder and might get you motivated.
So my friends, I pushed this episode to line up with the off week of my other post-apocalyptic podcast After the Apocalypse, soon to be a series of novels, lolā¦
Keep pushing, keep being smart, take time to learn, take time for yourself, sharpen your saw and Iāl see you out there.

Episode 5-493 ā Interview Les is Made
Hello my running friends.
This week I present the last of the repurposed interview that I did originally for my other show āAfter the Apocalypseā.
This is a friendly talk with Led for his Les is Made podcast ā and fittingly he is really interested in talking about running.
I had planned to write an article that dove deeper into some of the frequently asked questions. But, Iām out of day today and I figure something is better than nothing.
I had another satirical piece on how women running together have an entirely different conversation than men talking to each other ā based on my admittedly biased observations.
But, alas there is only so much gas in the tank and I have miles to go before I sleep.
So ā My friends, Iāll give you an update on my training ā drop the interview and slink off stage left in a embarred shuffle.
My training is going great. Within the last 7 days I have completed a nice 12 mile trail run, a 100K bike and capped it off with a 100 mile bike ride with my buddies up to Saco Maine yesterday. Everything went well. We got perfect weather. Nobody crashed. No flat tires.
And we made the trip, with breaks in just about 10 hours.
My second goal of weight loss is going well also. I poked my nose under the 173 pound flap of the tent this week and with my training load increasing it should continue to trend down.
I also finished the last additional chapter for the first novel in my apocalypse series ā so getting very close to the end of the editing process and having a finished manuscript to kick out the door like a grown child who has tarried too long.
Funny story ā I actually brought that final chapter to my new Monday morning writers group for a read this past week as well. I was scared like a little kid having to stand in front of the class. But, they liked it. And gave me some good feedback.
All is not lost.
I grabbed the race director of the Mamba 100 for an interview and Iāll shove that up for the next show. You know me. Why read the race web site when you can just talk to the race director?
I was a little worried about running a 100k in the trails in the dark. But he put my mind at ease. The course is in a very gentle trail system right in a park in the center of Memphis.
Thatās the next adventure!
So ā my friends. This is it for commentary,. I wonāt be back at the end.
Stay in touch. Wish me well. And I will see you out there.

Episode 5-492 ā Publishing Sci-Fi George Allen Miller
Hello my running friends.
This week Iām continuing my streak of double dipping on the interviews from my other podcast and presenting you with George Allen Miller. Heās an author and we have a nice, tight chat about the creative process and some aspects of publishing and our favorite Sci-Fi.
So - if you are one of those double dippers who already listened to my After the Apocalypse podcast you can fast forward through the interview section, but I will also have some unique content of you as well
In section one Iāll continue my Runner FAQ conversation. In section two Iāll do an old-man nutrition rant.

Episode 5-490 ā Fran Tabor
Hello my running friends.
Today weāve got a great show for you. I speak with Fran Tabor, who is one of those brilliantly independent thinkers ā a real renaissance person. We discussed Alien first contact and lots of other stuff. I think youāll enjoy it.
In section one Iām going to talk through some of the responses that I have been giving to the āRunners Loving Runningā Facebook group ā because I decided to take a new tack. Instead of ridiculing the questions for being absurd, I decided to give thoughtful answers.
Itās ātackā by the way. T A C K. Not ātactā. Tack is a sailing term that means the direction you are going. When you change tack in a sailboat, the captain yells āComing aboutā and then the mainsail boom swings around to catch the wind and knocks you overboard ā setting up the meet cute or the humorous plot element in any movie involving sailboats.
I talk about my new audio-book adventure in section two.
Because the interview is of a normal size, and I have room.

Episode 5-490 ā Stoned Genius
Hello my running friends.
Hey! 6 new episodes in a row. But I am cheating by re-tasking interviews I did for my other show. So if you are a listener to my After the Apocalypse feed, this is the same interview and youāve already heard it.
I will stick a quick article into section one with my thoughts on what to drink on run and hydration in general. I follow this annoying Facebook group called ārunners loving runningā that has these really dumb beginner running questions and I though it would be fun to answer some of them.
This a long interview. 1:30. So you have been warned. It is me being interviewed by Rodney the Stoned Genius on his podcast, named, interestingly enough āthe Stoned Geniusā and he was nice enough to share the audio with me.
On with the show.
Section Onehttps://runrunlive.com/what-should-i-drinkFeatured InterviewThatās what I love about podcasting. Any curious soul can find and connect with their tribe.
If like what heās doing you can find more at the Stoned Genius Podcast.
Show description:
The Stoned Genius" is a podcast that blends humor and cannabis culture, exploring a wide range of topics through the lens of genius enjoying marijuana. Hosted by Ro Martin the show features discussions, interviews, and even comedic skits, all infused with a lighthearted and often irreverent tone.

Hello my running friends.
Now, I see youā¦ youāre shaking your head.
5 in a row? What are you doing Chris? I just got around to removing the RunRunLive podcast from my old phone and here you are dropping conten t again? How can we trust you again? Youāve put us through so much.
Yup ā Iām on fire folks. I even baked up some new bumpers. Besides I am using the interviews for both my podcasts so there are economies of scale.

Hello my running friends.
Here we go ā 4 episodes in a row!
I have actually gotten messages from people commenting on their surprise and delight, well surprise anyhow, that I have been able to keep it up.
One of my long-standing tricks is to have an interview. This is also why there are so many interview-based podcasts. Itās a great way to leverage other peopleās knowledge and energy for your own benefit ā I bit like a parasitic worm or a vampire.
Insert rim shot sound effect.
But ā seriously folks ā today we have a chat with Roger Smith. Roger is a scientist and science fiction writer. Iām doing a series of interviews of scientists and science fiction writers.
If you also listen to my apocalypse podcast youāll see some duplication. Iām using the same interviews over there. The difference will be podcast specific content, like the intro and outro, and here, in the RunRunLive podcast Iāll sneak in some short articles about some running topics.

Hello my running friends.
Here we go ā 3 episodes in a row!
On todayās show weāve got the recording of when I was on Adam Tinkoffās show a few weeks ago.
This is a long interviewā¦well, not really an interview, more of a conversation. Itās too long for me to edit out the slow bits, like when Adam is trying to get his AI to work. Youāll just have to muddle through.
But we do have some good conversations about community and we do reconnect with some old friends from the running community and we do some reminiscing.
Since this is so long I wonāt stick anything else in here, but Iāll come back at the end with an update.
On with the show!

Here we go ā 2 episodes in a row!
On todayās show we talk to my nutrition coach Rachel. Iāve worked off an on with Rachel for many years. She recently earned her doctorate and she is looking for new clients.
She gave me a good excuse to do another chat. It all works out. You get another show and I get to catch up with Dr. Rachel.
Iāll talk a little about my nutrition journey in section one.
In section two Iāll talk a bit about the scary and fun world of artificial intelligence.

Episode 5-5485 ā 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.

Episode 5-484 ā the one about the treeIntroduction:
Hello and welcome to episode 5-484 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Iām calling it 5-484. Thatās 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 Iām going to tell a story about a tree. Iāll give you the update on my current entropy challenge. Because itās always something, isnāt it? And I have an idea to start a new segment called āStupid running questions.ā
And, maybe Iāll talk about mortality.

RunRunLive Episode 5483 ā The one about 5Kās and Relay races and retirement
ā¦
Hello my running friends.
How are you doing today? Itās 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 āNo Timeā, from an album called āCanned Wheatā 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 Turner Overdrive.
Apologies for not getting a show out. I have ideas in my head. I just donāt have the animation to write them down and record.
Something is better than nothing they say. But, the older I get, the more I understand the value of nothing as well.
Today Iām going to catch you up on a few races Iāve run and some other stuff as I work my way into shape for my next race, which is the Napa Valley Marathon in March.
Now that Iāve put Boston aside as a goal race, I can add more fun stuff and travel races to my calendar. This year my wife and I will head out to Napa Valley to run the race and then hang around in wine country.
Because, my friends, life is short.
Memento Mori.

5-482
Hello my friends and welcome to episode 482 of the RunRunLive Podcast.
Today Iām going to gift you with a long screed entitled āZero to Hero, How to go from zero miles and injured to a marathon in 6 months.ā
But, before I go there letās do some business.
I went back to the old RunRunLive 4.0 bumpers, because I like them. I didnāt 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-friend John. The strumming guitar and singing are the styling of Adam Tinkoff. The āmove you to the exitā is Steve Chopper. And the harmony on the last bit of the outro is Adam and Eddie Marathon.
If I ever do interviews again, the āfeatured interviewā bumper is a young version of my talented daughter Katie.
They make me happy and hopefully make you happy too.
Secondly I spent some time last weekend loading old shows into the new ACast feed. I got all the way back to 250 ā which would be some time in 2012, I believe.
This is why episode 251 errantly dropped into your feed as a new show. I have to back date them to get them in the right order. That show was from January 2013, I must have missed a save button. I have fixed it.
But- in all seriousness, that show is probably a good example of the format that I used to have back then. I have not listened to it, but if you have, that is an 11-year time travel into the past. If you liked it there are plenty more of similar size and shape.
At some point Iām going to go back and listen to all of these from the beginning and learn something about myself.
Other than that ā enjoy this essay on training around our constraints.
On with the show.

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 forkā¦ 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 filled with chaos.
We say things like, āI was doing hill repeats in the freezing rain,ā ā wearing that suffering like holy stigmata.
But, what if itās all a lie? What if all the adversity just makes us grumpy and hard to live with?
I donāt know ā but I do know the best policy is to take it one day at a time, do what you can and embrace what the universe brings you because time is short!

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 90ās 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 Iāve met so many great people who have enriched my life.
There are close to 500 episodes that span a decade or more of training and racing marathons and mountain bikes and triathlons and so much more.
I am sifting though my archives and will attempt to post them all here in sequence.
I interview famous and not-so-famous people from the sport. I give advice and tips. I tell stories and entertain.
The first 50 or so episodes have some audio challenges as the technology hadnāt really ripened yet.
After that I hit my stride and the showās are fun and consistent through around 250, where I take a break and begin a new format.
After that there are highs and lows, as there are in any life.
Currently Iām working on finding time to keep the show going into the future as I am now an older runner.
Feel free to sample your way through my journey, our running life.
And enjoy.
Iāll see you out there.
Chris,
Outro:
Thatās it folks you have found your way back to the end of yet another RunRunLive podcast.
If youāre new to the show go back and sample some of the history.
If youāre one of my old friends Rech out and say hi.
On reflection I find that friends are the most important thing we carry with us.
Bear with me as I sort the technology out.
And wish me luck in DC.
Iāll see you out there.

4-16-2023 Update Well my friends. Tomorrow is Patriots Day in Boston. And we all know what that means. Thatās right, itās the Boston Marathon. Iāve 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 weāll 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 back into shape. The knee seems to be ok as long as I donāt work it to hard. Iām still trying to see where the edge is. I worked with Rachel and took 15-20 pounds off. And I got through the first 30 days of the Body Building for Beginners program. Iām going to stop that right there. I repeated weeks 3 and 4, but Iām not going to go deeper. It gets very specific in the second two months and is probably more complex than I need. And, the big news is that I have signed up for a race. My friend Ann who we have talked to a couple times here on the podcast has a charity that she is heavily involved in called āBurgers and Bandsā which is a teenage suicide prevention program. She got 50 charity slots for the Marine Corp Marathon. So, jokingly, I said, if you run it Iāll run it. And she called my bluff. I am fund raising and Iām going to try to blog about the process of getting back into shape. Iāll put a link in the show notes, at the top so you can donate. Then my coach, who was in the mix, said āOk if you two run Iāll train you.ā And the rest is, as they say is history. I am going to toss in some audio from before my run today. I am going to start podcasting more. I have some interviews. Iām trying to put less pressure on myself. Iāve got a lot of ideas and a lot of content, but less time to execute. I have been plugging away at my other, After the Apocalypse podcast. Iām just about to finish up season 3. Iām getting somewhere around 22,000 downloads a month. Thereās 20 episodes in a season, and I plan to make each season into a book. As I creep ever closer to retirement Iām setting myself up to have a bunch of evergreen publishing content going. At some point Iāll circle back to all the posts on RunRunLive and try to consolidate them into some sort of order and edit them up into some books. There are literally millions of words worth of content out there. Anyhow, figured Iād check in let you know Iām still out here. A little slower, gimpy-er and grey ā but out here none the less.
