I first interviewed Danny in August of this year. If you haven't had a chance to listen to that episode, I suggest you do; especially if you want to run with more grace and ease.

Hey Conscious Runners! I've got another fantastic interview for you today. I've got 2x Olympian, advocate and activist for runners and creator of Run Gum (performance gum), Nick Symmonds on the line with me. Nick got started running in a very interesting way. In high school, a girl he wanted to get to know better suggested he try out for the cross country team and he did. What Nick discovered is he was good at running. And not just good, very good.

Hey Conscious Runners! As always, I've got another fantastic interview for you.

The tables have been turned and I'm being interviewed. My name is Lisah. I am a masters runner, mother, author, certified running coach and the heart and soul behind The Conscious Runner.

Hey Conscious Runners! Lately, I've been hearing about a lot of runners struggling with motivation and holding themselves accountable so they reach their running goals. The truth is everyone has to start somewhere. Whether you’re coming back from injury or coming back from a planned break, you’ve got to start somewhere. Some of us start back with a few miles, some of us start back with a combination of walking and running and others of us start back one block at a time.

Jackie believes if we don't know how to properly deal with and release our emotions during stressful events, they remain in our bodies until our body feels safe enough to release them. When we do allow negative thoughts and feelings to take over and we get down and depressed, the negativity creates stress and tension in the body—the perfect conditions for an injury to develop.

Hey Conscious Runners! As always, I've got another fantastic interview for you. I've got Julia Chi Taylor from RunningConscious on the mic with me. From a very young age Julia knew all she needed to do was to 'run free'. To let the running take me where it wanted to. To stay in the step. To be in the moment and so to experience running as a meditation on the move.

Hey Conscious Runners! Welcome to another amazing interview. Today, I have runner and co-founder of Chi Running, Dany Dreyer on the line with me. Danny is an accomplished Ultra Marathon runner (races longer than a marathon) and has raced every distance from a 10K to 100 miles. He has successfully completed 40 ultra-marathons since 1995, finishing in the top 3 in his age group in all but one. In August 2005 he placed second in his age group in the USATF National 50k Championships.

Hey Conscious Runners! Welcome to another amazing episode of The Conscious Runner Podcast. I have runner and physical therapist Brad Beer on the line with me. Brad didn't set out to be a runner, in fact, he had his heart set on becoming a professional triathlete.

Matt got started running in one of the most interesting ways. One day, he and some friends of his got the idea to run a marathon. This was interesting because Matt had hated running his whole life. But here he was, training to run his first marathon an on top of it he was going after a Boston qualifier. But that didn't happen, he missed the mark by 104 minutes. This really hit him hard. But it wasn't surprising, he knew nothing about running, his training was terrible, his pacing was terrible, the whole thing was a mess. He could not believe he was that far off from the qualifying time. It really caused him to take a good hard look at himself.

Hey Conscious Runners! Hope you all are having a fantastic week. I'm so excited to bring this long awaited episode to you today. As you know, there is more to running than just running. We have to pay attention to the little things, such as following sound training principles, strength training, mobility, recover and yes, nutrition. well, today is all about nutrition. I've got Strength and Conditioning Specialist and weight loss and nutrition expert James Mullins on the line with me.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Whether you’re coming back from injury or coming back from a planned break, you’ve got to start somewhere. Some of us start back with a few miles, some of us start back with a combination of walking and running and others of us start back one block at a time.
