October 16, 2005 15:44 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBAccording to section 2.00 of the Major League Baseball rule book: A runner is an offensive player who is advancing toward, touching, or returning to any base.‿ In this episode we discuss the "Runner verses Jogger" debate.
Fdip13: Observations
October 09, 2005 15:41 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBThe human brain is a fascinating organ, and while few completely understand its true operation; some of its properties can be found in the way that it retains such high resolution memories from observations made during extreme physical exertion.
Fdip12: The Long Slow Run
October 02, 2005 15:32 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MBOf the many ways that we can prepare our bodies and minds for the act of running a road race, it’s the long slow run that is most effective, both physiologically and psychologically. Your body needs to change: BOTH muscularly and metabolically.
Fdip11: Healing Thyself
September 25, 2005 12:11 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MBThere’s an interesting behavioral quirk that many runners nurse and foster over the years, myself included. We develop this need to seek acceptable answers to our medical questions which meet our demanding requirements, rather than submit to the expertise of our own assigned doctors.
Fdip10: Life to the Fullest
September 18, 2005 12:08 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBLife is meant to be pounding, screaming with sweat and power: explosive and breathtaking with all the energy you can bring to a boil. You are most alive, as a runner, living life to its fullest: on the road, as fast and far as you possibly can. Greg Gumbinner lived his life to the fullest. I run a race dedicated to his memory this week, and ponder the concept that all runners are living their lives to the top of their game.
Fdip9: The Power of Pronation
September 09, 2005 12:06 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWhat is pronation, and why do we need to understand our unique running gait? I’ve often been told that I don’t pronate. Other runners have been found to pronate "too much". What does poor pronation mean to a runner, why is it a bad thing and what can be done about it are all questions answered (to some degree) within this weeks episode. Also: I run the Charlton Old Home Day 5 miler road race.
Fdip8: Why We Run
September 04, 2005 12:02 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBThere must be a reason. There must be some compelling motivation to get any none runners out there to want to lace up their shoes and join the fun. This episode was recorded from the Upper Richardson Lake in northwestern Maine, during a camping trip with my Dad, son and nephew.
Fdip7: 2005 Falmouth Road Race
August 21, 2005 11:53 - 38 minutes - 34.8 MBSeven thousand, five hundred twenty seven runners ran the 2005 SBLI Falmouth Road Race on Sunday August 14th and I beat four thousand eight hundred and sixteen of them!
