Episode 5-500 – Examining the balanced life with Lisa TongHello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-500 of the RunRunLive podcast. I have been working my way through ‘frequently asked questions’ and the next two shows will focus on one that is on the top of most runners’ lists. How do we achieve that ever-elusive balance between our work, our families and our athletic pursuits? And how do we do that in a way that serves us? This week we’ll chat with Lisa who will walk us through her own story as a mom, a professional and a triathlete. I had a blast talking to Lisa. She’s very smart and polished and thoughtful. In section one I’ll talk about road racing and in section two I’ll delve further into the mind space of the artist. ...Lisa Tong, MBA, PCC Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker, Coach Lisa is an ex-corporate consultant and engineer turned entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker and professionally trained and certified coach and facilitator. She founded This Project Called Me, a personal development company that supports people in developing stronger self-awareness and helps corporate humans build passion projects. When Lisa is not writing or coaching, you will likely find her cycling or making soups for her other fun persona, The Chinese Soup Lady. Link https://thisprojectcalledme.com/ 

Episode 5-499 – Anna – Exercise for the over 60If you think it’s time to get serious about your health, and take action for yourself, reach out to Rachel at www.drshuck.com/rrl and have a conversation.  ...Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-499 of the RunRunLive podcast. This week we talk with Anna who has written a book about exercise routines for people over 60. I got her query email and thought, ‘yeah, that’s interesting’. So here we are. In section one I’ll talk about how we can adapt our training and racing goals to this inevitable onslaught of time. In section two I’ll talk about being a creative and what I have gleaned from my recent survey of a bunch of ‘how to’ books about creativity. ***

Episode 5-498 – Dr. Shuck - How I got to 165 lbs.If you think it’s time to get serious about your health, and take action for yourself, reach out to Rachel at www.drshuck.com/rrl and have a conversation.  Hello my running friends. Welcome to episode 5-498 of the RunRunLive podcast. How are you all doing? Another wonderful week, yeah? You’ll be delighted to know that I survived my birthday. And, yes this is an interesting phase of life I’ve entered into. Last episode we talked about memento mori – or remembering that death is always there. This was a big thing in the middle ages because, death was always there. It’s a bit more intellectualized now. We’re not going to die from stepping on a nail or a intestinal parasite, probably, but death is still there. A quote that could be attributed to a 100 people, but I chose Jim Morrison, “No one gets out Alive”. So for me, with this birthday, Death may not be in the room with me warming up, but he may be sleeping on a futon next door thinking about it! Paradoxically I’m doing great! Today we do a summary review of my campaign over the summer to get down to 165 pounds with my nutrition coach Rachel, or as she is now known, ‘Dr. Shuck’. It really makes me wonder why we don’t start teaching nutrition in early education. There is a basic grab-bag of topics that I wish someone had taught me. Like basic financial planning. And how there are different personality types. And the importance of living in the present. In section one I’ll talk about the relationship between losing weight and running faster. In section two I’ll talk about the compound effect.  

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 today’s 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 I’ve had talking to someone in a long time. She was so positive and engaged – just glowing with positive karma. And it just makes me happy to know that souls like her exist in the world. I’ve started, or reverted to, using Zoom to record these interviews. That means we are usually both on camera during the chat – so I get to see the body language of who I’m 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 I’m going to get all geeky runner guy and do a deep dive into tempo training in general and surge runs in particular – which my running buddies mocked me by calling them ‘Serge’ runs. In section two I’ll ramble about getting old. It’s my birthday next week. And I think I’ve been having the same conversation every birthday since I turned 30! 

Episode 5-496 – Coach Nora and some frequently asked questionsHello 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 Nora’s contact links will be in the show notes. If you want to take a look at her practice it’s at mileaftermile.co.I am consistently pushing this podcast out every two weeks while I can manage it, because I enjoy doing so. But, I’m not going to focus so much on the fine details for now because I just don’t have the time. This is the RunRunLive ‘compromise’ version, where we don’t edit as tightly and don’t polish as much. But we still have conversations and try to have fun. In section one I talk about shoes. And if you don’t agree with me, there’s going to be a rumble.  

Episode 5-495 – Maddi and some trail magic Hello my running friends. Hello my running friends. It’s 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. I’ll tell you all about that in Section two today. In section one we’ll talk about some more running advice I have been dispensing. And today’s interview is with Maddi who is a self-described trail bum who just stepped off the Appalachian Trail.
