Are your running shoes "dead" at 500 miles? Many runners lose sleep over the famous mileage rule, treating it as a non-negotiable expiration date. In this episode, we deconstruct the infamous 300 to 500-mile myth and expose how the running industry's business model of planned obsolescence has influenced this idea. We'll dive into the real science of shoe breakdown—from midsole compression to a runner's unique biomechanics—to uncover why a one-size-fits-all mileage rule is deeply flawed.
Instead of a number, we give you the practical tools to know when a shoe is truly worn out. Learn the key signs of fatigue and discover why your body is the ultimate sensor for shoe health. We also explore the proven benefits of a shoe rotation for extending the life of your gear and reducing your risk of injury. Join us to change your mindset, save money, and gain a new perspective on your most essential piece of running equipment.

This week on The Marathon Running Podcast, we tackle the most misunderstood phase of marathon training: the taper. Host [Insert Host Name Here] compares this final stage to the difference between cramming and consolidating for a major exam, sharing a personal story about how his own failed taper taught him the hard way that less is truly more. For solo runners like Letty, mastering the taper is especially crucial, as it’s the final step to ensure your body is primed for an independent race. We dive into the science of supercompensation, explaining how resting unlocks your full physiological potential by rebuilding muscle, replenishing glycogen, and boosting your immune system.
Whether you're battling the "taper crazies" or feeling anxious about the reduced mileage, this episode is a deep dive into the practical blueprint and mental strategies you need to arrive at the starting line feeling strong, confident, and ready for your best race. Trust the process, because the taper isn't about losing fitness—it's about unlocking it for that final, glorious solo effort.

This episode of The Marathon Running Podcast is your essential guide to turning summer heat into your greatest competitive advantage. We sit down with running coach Erica Weitz to break down the science behind how summer training is the secret to a breakthrough fall racing season. Coach Weitz explains the critical physiological adaptations that happen when you train in the heat, such as increased plasma volume and improved thermoregulation, and how these directly translate to a more efficient and powerful performance on a cooler race day. We discuss the strategic role of a summer training block within an annual plan—is it a base phase, a specific prep phase, or a nuanced combination? You’ll also learn which metrics she monitors to ensure athletes are successfully building the resilience needed for a strong fall performance, and her evidence-based strategies for safe and effective heat acclimation.
Beyond the physiology, Coach Weitz delves into the practicalities of transitioning from summer endurance to fall speed. She outlines the typical progression of intensity and specificity that prepares an athlete for the demands of a goal race, from building an aerobic engine to integrating race-specific paces without risking overtraining. We also discuss the often-overlooked role of strength and conditioning in summer for preventing breakdown and enhancing power for faster fall paces. Finally, Erica shares her philosophy on how to cultivate the mental fortitude gained from the "summer grind" and avoid common pitfalls as excitement for fall races builds, ensuring you show up to the start line physically and mentally prepared for your best performance.

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we talk to Kelly Moorman, a truly inspiring runner whose story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of the human spirit. Kelly shares how he first got into running and how his journey took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at just 12 years old. He opens up about the emotional and physical challenges he faced, including kidney failure at 41 and a life-changing kidney and pancreas transplant in 2011. Just as he began to rebuild his health, Kelly faced another battle — a cancer diagnosis that led to a major surgery known as the Whipple procedure. Through it all, he found strength in movement and in the mindset that kept him putting one foot in front of the other. After relocating to Florida in 2018, Kelly reconnected with the running community, completed his first official half marathon in 2023, and now has his sights set on new goals, possibly even a full marathon. In our conversation, he reflects on the role of running in his recovery, how local run clubs supported his journey, and the lessons he’s learned through adversity. Kelly also shares advice for others facing health setbacks and reminds us what resilience truly means. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter what we face, there is always a path forward — and often, it starts with a single step.

In this episode, we dive into the mental side of marathon racing—a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of achieving success. Many runners ponder what it truly means to be mentally strong during a race and how they can cultivate the mindset needed to achieve their goals. Mental strength isn’t just about enduring discomfort; it’s about leveraging key mental attributes that enable us to perform at our best when it matters most.
We explore four core attributes that contribute to mental toughness: confidence, drive and determination, the ability to push through pain and discomfort, and the commitment to making your racing goals a top priority. But how do we develop these skills? From intentional practices during training runs to mindset exercises in everyday life, we discuss practical strategies to build and strengthen these attributes, helping you become a more resilient, focused, and successful runner.

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we chat with an RRCA coach who is also a strength and mindset coach about one of my favorite topics—mindset. We explore how mindset for marathoners goes beyond just thoughts; it’s a much deeper concept built onthree pillars: belief, identity, and attitude. We dive into actionable strategies like practicing gratitude by asking what’s going well and celebrating small wins before tackling challenges. The conversation reveals howunderstanding where your thoughts come from can shape how your brain processes them for self-preservation. Belief is key, but identity is often the hardest to change—it's not about dismissing your old self, but upgrading it. Attitude then naturally aligns as belief and identity come together. We also discuss proactive tips runners can use during a race to stay mentally strong and focused. This episode is packed with practical advice to help you master your mental game on race day!

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we learn all about hormones and how they affect our endurance. With our expert guest Kelsey Pontius, we discuss the relationship between hormones and running performance for both men and women. Hormones like cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone play crucial roles in energy levels, muscle recovery, and overall endurance. Women experience hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle, affecting their performance and recovery, while men need to monitor testosterone levels influenced by stress and training. Nutritional adjustments are important for maintaining hormonal balance; women may need more iron and calcium at certain times, and men should ensure they get enough zinc and vitamin D. Long-distance running impacts hormone levels in both genders, so balanced training and recovery are essential. Managing stress through proper training, diet, and recovery is key to supporting hormonal health and optimizing performance for all runners.

In this week's episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we delve into the intricacies of Energy Metabolism with Dr. Patrick Davitt, PhD, shedding light on crucial aspects that impact every runner's performance. We start by exploring the fundamental definition of Energy Metabolism and the role of ATP, the energy currency of ourcells.
Fueling takes center stage as we discuss its paramount importance during training runs, emphasizing the need to maintain blood glucose levels and supply energy to working muscles. The intriguing question arises: Can running in a "depleted" state, without eating before a run, actually benefit our body's adaptation? Dr. Davitt unravels the complexities of liver-stored glycogen versus muscle-stored glycogen,detailing the nuances of fuel partitioning, substrate metabolism, and the burning of carbohydrates or fats.
The conversation extends to the adaptation of running in a fasted state or consuming slow-absorbing foods, exploring their impact on handling the later miles in a marathon. Dr. Davitt provides insights into the prevailing trend of fueling all runs and challenges the notion, pointing out that exceeding 60g of carbohydrates per hour lacks supporting data for performance improvement.
As an endurance runner, understanding the ideal fueling strategy becomes crucial, with protein playing a role in replenishment and repair, and varying macronutrient ratios based on training versus competition. The podcast delves into the peculiar phenomenon ofchanging tastes in energy gels mid-run, linking it to hormonal changes and attempts at maintaining homeostasis.
Dr. Davitt shares his extensive research on Ucan gels, presenting a study that tested superstarch cornstarch-derived gels against other formulations. The findings highlight the importance of consistency in maintaining stable glucose levels throughout a run. The episode concludes with an exploration of the "glycogen sparing myth" and strategies to prevent the dreaded bonk during a marathon.
Listeners gain valuable insights from Dr. Patrick Davitt's seven years of unbiased research on Ucan, emphasizing his dedication to understanding the science behind energy metabolism and its practical implications for marathon runners.

Happy medal Monday everyone! I had an idea, looking at this box of medals, to dig in there and show you guys some of my favorites.
My all time favorite medal is from the 2009 LA marathon, because they say you never fortget your first.
Seriously it is my favorite because one I love LA
As you can see I cut the ribbon off because I didn’t care about it and didn’t know I was gonna collect the ribbons.
But here it is, this is what set the seed, this was what got me started on the 40 plus marathons to this date

Welcome to a special episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, where we recap and review the 127th Boston Marathon or the 2023 Boston Marathon. This year's race marked the 10th anniversary of the tragic bombing that shook the marathon world in 2013. In honor of the anniversary, a ceremony was held on Saturday, where the families of the victims and survivors came together to lay wreaths at the memorial sites near the finish line. The Boston Marathon is the oldest annual marathon in the world and one of the most prestigious races, known for its challenging course, enthusiastic spectators, and rich history. The marathon route is a point-to-point course, starting in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, and finishing in Boston's Copley Square. The Boston Marathon has seen many iconic moments in its history, including Kathrine Switzer becoming the first woman to officially run the race in 1967, and the tragedy of the bombing in 2013. To commemorate the anniversary, the docuseries "American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing" was released. The three-part series details the tragic events of the 2013 marathon and the hunt for the Tsarnaev brothers. The professional field for the 2023 Boston Marathon included many top runners, such as Eliud Kipchoge, the world record holder. With Kipchoge in the field, the men's race was one of the fastest in Boston Marathon history. However, 2022 winner Evans Chebet surged ahead in the Newton hills to repeat as champion. Hellen Obiri, a late entry in the elite women's field and running only her second marathon, finished strong to win the women's race. The men's and women's wheelchair races were also fiercely competitive, with Switzerland's Marcel Hug winning his sixth men's wheelchair crown and Manuela Schar of Switzerland finishing first in the women's wheelchair race. Overall, the 2023 Boston Marathon was a thrilling event with many memorable moments. It showcased the resilience and determination of the running community and honored the victims and survivors of the 2013 tragedy. #BostonMarathon #MarathonRunning #Resilience #Determination #AmericanManhunt #TsarnaevBrothers #ProfessionalField #EliudKipchoge #EvansChebet #HellenObiri #MarcelHug #ManuelaSchar Join our facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/SpeedStridersFollow us on instagram @runningpodcastCheck out our website: www.runningpodcast.us Tags of topics:#Marathon #Running #MarathonTraining #marathonnutrition #speedstriders #runningpodcast #racerecap #racereview #runner #mentaltraining #beginnerrunner #attitudeofgratitude #BostonMarathon

Specifically we will do this episode in two parts, the first one being that we talk about injuries in general, what causes them, why do they happen and who is at risk for them, and how to generally prevent injuries.
The second part, where we talk about the 6 most common injuries, what they are, why they happen, and how we could maybe prevent them from flaring up!

With your fall marathon approaching you have got a good 6-8 weeks of training left. You are nearing the end of your training, and there is no amount of food or rest you can get to make you feel whole. We get it. Training for a marathon is hard. Also, besides the lack of rest and seemingly off-balanced nutrition, there are things you feel. Soreness or injury? When do you keep pushing?
In this episode we speak with David Levine, head coach of the LA Roadrunners gives us some guidance on what to expect and what to do to complete your cycle.

In this episode we talk about two very important topics: 1. MARATHON BLUES and 2. POST MARATHON RECOVERY.
The marathon blues, also known as post race depression, is a sentiment that a lot of runners experience after the race. We will give you a proper definition, and will talk to you about the symptoms, causes, and how to handle these feelings.
When it comes to post marathon recovery, we see much advice on the internet about how much time to take off after your marathon, but very little information as to why those numbers are prescribed. So we look at some studies that will give us an idea how to translate the results of the studies into what is best for us runners as an individual. We will also talk about what things to do and what things not to do to speed up our recovery.
In this episode we are doing a recap of the 2021 Boston Marathon. With perfect weather and a roll-out start, we share with you our first experience running the Boston Marathon and weather it lived up to the hype. We also share with you a few reviews form other participants who tell us what stood out to them from this epic race weekend.
Have you ever heard of that person that curses the race during their course, complains about the painfulness of the marathon right after, but a week later, signs up for another marathon stating “it was amazing, it wasn’t so bad”? Well, then you’re not the only one. In this episode we talk about some common concepts in the running community: Runners’ Amnesia and Marathon Addiction. In this episode we talk about what these concepts are and that they are way more common than you think.
We also interview fellow podcaster and race director Jim Lynch about his journey of running a certified marathon in each one of the 50 states of the USA, earning the "50 certified states marathons" title.
In this episode we talk all about the 2021 Berlin Marathon that took place on September 26, 2021. This marathon was the first major marathon to return after the beginning of the pandemic. Logistics were interesting and the race and atmosphere were amazing. Perfect episode to listen to to get you hyped up and emotional about running. Running is back.
In this episode we talk to a psychologist Dr. Justin Ross about all things mental when it comes to race day for your marathon. We talked to him about concepts such as the marathon being 90% mental, whether it’s best to think about each mile or let your mind drift off, what to do when you hit the wall, the concept of finding your why, running mantras, breaking up marathon into chunks, A B and C goals, visualization, learning to talk back, and more. If you have a race coming up, this episode will be very helpful.

With all the fall marathons coming up, we all about race day rituals! Starting with the definition of what a ritual is we talk about the difference between rituals and routine and then move on to the psychology behind the rituals, why people do them, and how they can actually help us. From there we talk a bit about some of the common rituals, our own race day rituals, and last but not least, we talk about some of our listener’s rituals.
- In this episode, we talk to Thomas Steffens, in charge of communications at the Berlin Marathon. We asked him all sorts of burning questions about the upcoming marathon, some of them COVID related, but also about fueling on the course, staggering of waves, altering of the race course, temperature and weather, the expo, spectators, finish line festivities, the recent half marathon and its successful protocol, cut of times, the elite field, whether or not Kipchoge was coming, and may more. Have a listen and get hyped up about this upcoming race!
Welcome to destination marathons! In this episode, I am talking to fellow podcaster and we talk about all things traveling when it comes to marathons. We’re gonna address COVID, how to fly in for a marathon (ie how early to get to your destination, what seat to pick), hotels and accommodation (how to get a good deal and where to stay), expo (and why going is important), meal planning (and what to eat if you don’t have your go-to available), and your last training runs (where to run, and even how to find others to run with). Let us know if you feel like we missed something!

With fall races approaching we wanted to have an episode all about race day nutrition.
So we spoke with Amy Shapiro MS, RD, CDN, the founder and director of Real Nutrition, a NYC-based private practice, and asked her all about that race day, including: WHY is changing your nutrition leading up to a marathon important, HOW do we prepare with liquids and food when it comes to the days before and the day of the marathon, brand name recommendations, bathroom issues, post fueling for maximal recovery, and much more.
Amy is internationally recognized for her individualized, lifestyle-focused approach, which integrates realistic food plans, smart eating habits, and active living. Through encouragement, education, and the right “tricks of the trade”, Amy believes that anyone can achieve their nutritional goals while still enjoying the foods and flavors they crave.

In this week’s episode we talked to fellow runner Angela Pohl. Angela Pohl has been running since age 38 and created an instagram to share her running journey including any bumps on the road, which includes her fairly recent stage 3b breast cancer diagnosis. Angela talks to us about said diagnosis, how she was diagnosed, the type of cancer she has, her prognosis, and what effect this illness and treatment has on her daily life and running - because of course, she still runs. Using running analogies, Angela explains her mindset, talks about her current training for the Indianapolis Marathon in November, and shares her hopes of what going through this “injury experience” can do for her in the future. She is nothing but an inspiration and you don’t wanna miss this episode.

In this episode we do a Q&A with Coach Ron Tabb, retired long-distance runner with a PR of 2:09:31 in 1983, when the marathon world record was only 2:08. We asked him questions such as: How long should a marathon cycle be? How do I know what my race pace is? What pace should my long runs be? What should my easy pace be? How much slower than my fast pace? If you’re running a distance race, is it better to be fast at short distances and draw the speed out or have endurance under your belt and speed up your long runs? What should my weekly mileage be in my marathon cycle? What should my race pacing strategy be? How and why does speed work and strides help my pace? When in my marathon cycle should I start doing speed work?
What should my longest run really be and why don’t I have to run 26 miles? What are some tips better running economy? How long is a proper taper?

In this episode spoke with Bryan Green, the author of Make the Leap - a sports psychology book for runners. Through his book, Bryan demonstrates that the key to unlocking one’s potential isn't in training harder or doing more sophisticated workouts. Rather, it's in thinking better about your training. Think better, train better. His book provides athletes and coaches a step-by-step guide to thinking more effectively about all aspects of training. We asked him about some of the main concepts, including how “the leap” works, the concept of “the hidden training plan”, as well as many definitions of words and concepts that - when applied to running - make us rethink how we should think.

In this episode we asked Australian physiotherapist and host of the number 1 running podcast, Brodie Sharpe, about running form! Is there such a thing as the “perfect running form”? And although the answer was obvious (and let’s face it, the goal of our running form analysis is simply to prevent injury and to run economically so that we can run safely and fast) - as always with Brodie, we learned quite a bit. Listen in if you want to learn about the different phases of our running strides, what happens in each of them, and what things should be taken into consideration when looking at our running form, and what some definite must-correct things are we might do, and how to go about them.

In this episode we spoke about using our logged miles to do something good. All of us have running watches or some sort of device that enables us to track out progress. Well, there are a few option, and you don’t have to pick one. There are many ways to log your miles. One option is to sign up with achievements, where you can log miles. Once you reach 10,000 points, you can get yourself a gift card or donate your miles to charity. Very simple, and here is a link: https://tinyurl.com/yheruj5s That is something really rewarding. And if you wanna do even more, you can do so. There’s a company that allows you to log your miles with them, automatically, and those miles will earn $ for a good case. So we decided to interview Gene Gurkoff. Gene Gurkoff is the Founder of Charity Miles, a free iPhone/Android app that enables people to earn money for charity when they walk, run or bike. He explains the history of the company as well as how all this works. Gene himself has run 35 marathons and 6 Ironman triathlons to raise money for Parkinson's research in honor of his grandfather who has the disease.

As for post-partum running, we asked her when it would be safe to resume running, how to approach running after having a baby, we asked her about running and breastfeeding, and last but not least, weight-loss.
