Trail Running
The Endurance Planet Hour
Two champions in one hour: that’s what we have this week on The Endurance Planet Hour. We’re joined by the men’s and women’s champion from The Western States 100 Endurance Run, Geoff Roes and Tracy Garneau. And we’ll round out the show by introducing you to The Trail Nerd of the Month.
The Week in Multisport
Time again for a Week in Multisport edition of Endurance Planet with Barry Siff of Daily Triathlon. This time around, Barry tells us about the latest races results and some upcoming events to keep tabs on. But he also discusses a sport we don’t typically think of in terms of endurance.
The Endurance Planet Hour
This week’s Endurance Planet Hour is a “best of” edition that we’re calling “Fact and Fiction.” We’re featuring two stories from our archives. The first is a piece of non-fiction from our Human Kinetics Corner segments. It’s an excerpt from sports psychologist Sue Jackson’s book “Flow in Sports…The Keys to Optimal Experiences and Performances.” The second story is a piece of fiction from our old Breakaway Books editions. It’s the story called “Wheelbarrow” about an unlikely miler. Written by Eddy Orcutt, “Wheelbarrow” was taken from The Runner’s Literary Companion edited by Garth Battista.
Marathon & Beyond Monday: The Rule
When a fellow runner approaches, do you acknowledge him or her with a greeting? If that runner ignores you, what do you do? Arnold Hogarth addressed those issues in his article “The Rule.” It’s the focus of this week’s Marathon & Beyond Monday; our weekly opportunity to hear an editor’s choice from the popular running magazine.
The Week in Multisport
Time again for The Week in Multisport with Barry Siff of Daily Triathlon. This week we discuss how Greg Bennett’s decision to race for Team USA—as opposed to his home country of Australia—could affect the 2012 Olympics for the United States. We also discuss Ironman Brazil, Ironman Lanzarote, Austria 70.3, the upcoming Kansas 70.3 and much more.
The Road to Western States 2010: Anita Ortiz
Veteran mountain runner Anita Ortiz picked the 2009 Western States 100 for her first 100-miler. And she won. Today on Endurance Planet—a Road to Western States 2010 edition—we hear from Ortiz about some new challenges she’ll be facing this year. And we hear how she balances her life as a wife and mother of four with her running career. Today’s podcast is brought to you by the Runner’s World Shoe Shop iPhone app from NearbyNow.
The Road to Western States 2010: Hal Koerner
He’s the two-time defending champion and he’ll be looking for the three-peat at this year’s Western States 100 Endurance Run. He’s Hal Koerner of Ashland, Oregon. Today on Endurance Planet—a Road to Western States 2010 edition—Koerner talks about the mindset he takes into races and the kind of training he’s doing in the weeks leading up to the huge event.
The Week in Multisport
Time again for a Week in Multisport edition of Endurance Planet with Barry Siff of Daily Triathlon.
This time around we discuss results from the ITU World Championship Series kickoff in Sydney where a small competitor made a big showing. Barry shares his thoughts on the unorthodox way that former Ironman champion Chris “Macca” McCormack is racing. And we look ahead to next week’s Boston Marathon.
Racing at High Altitude
Earlier this week, Endurance Planet hosted a live, interactive webinar on Racing at High Altitude with Dr. Scott Drum. Drum is the Director of the High Altitude Performance Lab at Western State College in Colorado. He’s also the founder of the Gunnison Endurance Project. Today on Endurance Planet, we’re making the audio portion of that webinar available to all our listeners. Special thanks to our webinar sponsor: AltoLab Altitude Training Simulator. Look for more Endurance Planet webinars in the weeks to come!
The Endurance Planet Hour
In the days since our interview with Barkley Marathon’s finisher Jonathan Basham, Endurance Planet has heard from some individuals who have wondered, “What is the big deal about Barkley?” Others who know what the big deal is, have requested that we “re-air” our podcast from several years ago we called The Marathon No One Could Finish. It’s actually a race report from ultrarunner Blake Wood who knows the course quite well. Wood’s race report/story first appeared in author Neal Jamison’s book Running Through the Wall. So this week’s Endurance Planet Hour is devoted to The Marathon No One Could Finish, followed by the interview with the man—Basham—who did finish it. It’ll give you an appreciation for Barkley and it will give you some great company on your next long training run.
The Endurance Planet Hour
If you’re a trailrunner or ultrarunner you know that Gordy Ainsleigh is a legend. Back in 1974—as the story goes—Ainsleigh’s horse came up lame prior to the 100-mile Western States trail ride. So Gordy did it on foot. Now the Western States 100 is the premier ultra trail-run and draws some of the best athletes in the world. Gordy joins us for the first half of the Endurance Planet Hour. Later in the hour we hear from Scott Drum—the man behind the Gunnison Endurance Project—a post-collegiate ultrarunning team at Western State College of Colorado. Drum talks about the project, the benefits that come from living an active life, and he talks about a webinar he’ll be hosting on Endurance Planet next week on how to race at high altitude even you live low. The webinar is sponsored by our friends at AltoLab Portable Altitude Simulator.
