Running with the Pack Podcast » Podcast Feed

Jeff and I made our longest podcast to date. We talk about Jeff’s new Nike+ system, shaving for sport performance, the different lengths of triathlon races, comparisons of the success of different diet plans, thoughts about doing an ultramarathon, and whether it’s ever too late to learn to swim better.

Jeff and I watched Ultramarathon Man on DVD this week. We review the movie and talk about Dean Karnazes’s book of the same name. I talk about the book “Your First Triathlon”, and then we discuss Weight Watchers and listener comments.

This week, Jeff and I talk about our recent workouts, practicing what I preach (workouts with bronchitis), my triathlon training, my growing “lady entourage”, Valentine’s Day, Comments from Kim and Ryan, and a few other miscellaneous items.

This week, I’m recording solo. I talk about exercising while you have a cold, my initial thoughts about getting into triathlons, and listener mail about topics such as shoes, weight control, health, tri suits, and what some of our listeners have been up to. Enjoy!

Jeff and I talked about our potential marathon plans for this spring (Cleveland or Pittsburgh), my triathlon ambitions, Jeff’s Weight Watchers update, a question about playlists and the new iPod rules, and then some responses to questions and comments from our listeners.

After the holidays and my vacation in Orlando, Jeff and I talk about the holiday damage, the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, our interest in triathlons and ultramarathons, using Borax to control smelly clothes, and the value of investing (in your health and finances). Get that body moving in the new year folks, it’s going to be a good one!

In several segments over a couple of days, I drive down to get my nephews and talk about Runcast.TV. Then I talk to my sister (the original runner in my family) and get into some thoughts about New Year’s resolutions.

After a few weeks off, Jeff and I talk about what our training has been like lately, what races we’re planning for 2009 and beyond, the Triathlete’s Training Bible, and some product reviews. Thanks again to all of those who wished us well before our marathon or congratulated us afterward.

After finishing the Philadelphia Marathon today, Jeff and I went to a mall food court to make a quick podcast. We talk about things like the weather, the course being hillier than we remembered, friends who were running, and our overall performance. Let’s just say that I set a PR and Jeff did extremely well.

We’re seven days out from the 2008 Philadelphia Marathon. Jeff and I talk about what we’re doing this week, what the weather is supposed to be like, wearing pink hats, the meet up after the race, and some comments from listeners.

Jeff and I are finally in the studio together again. In this show, we talk about our training for the Philadelphia Marathon (completing our last long runs), what we’ll be doing in Philadelphia, a listener question about stretching, and some shoutouts to friends and listeners who have run or who are about to run their big race.

While I’m in Orlando, I took some time to go through some of the listener e-mail messages that have been coming in: chocolate milk, GO PHILLIES, exploding calves, and more… Related Sites: Brandon’s Marathon Running in the Center of the Universe The Ultradad Podcast

Most of this recording was made while team “In it for the T-Shirts Too” ran the Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK 50-mile relay through the hills of central Pennsylvania. The weather was beautiful and I have never had that much fun at a race! Related Site: Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK 50-Mile Relay and Ultramarathon

I wanted to make sure that this video is part of the RSS feed. Otherwise, it would seem like we haven’t posted anything in a while. Also, this version is a higher quality than what is available through the normal player in YouTube. The next audio podcast will be out this week — by Sunday at the latest.

This week, Jeff gives an update on his Weight Watchers program, we talk about a couple of exercise drink powders (Hornet Juice and President’s Choice), dealing with multiple podcasts and Nike+, and what our training plans look like between now and the 2008 Philadelphia Marathon. By the way, it was “The Running Shoe” that has the “I am an athlete” saying. Ashland Dave deserves a little love as well though.
