#321 - It seems everywhere you turn today, all you hear about is AI. And in running, it's no exception. AI can help your running, but there are some downsides. Today, I go over what AI is and how it can help you, provided that you look out for the negatives. Links are on the shoe website.

Also, I close the book on a running shoe company I used to love. I feel like I've broken up with someone. It's sad when a running shoe company completely changes a shoe that we love. It's heartbreaking!

#320 - I experienced something no one should go through this past week. My Facebook page, as well as my podcast page and podcast Facebook group was suspended over an Instagram account that is not mine. I replied back disputing the suspension, but I'm not optimistic about getting any results. So, while I set up a new Facebook account, it got me thinking.... do we runners rely too heavily on social media? So many runners seem more concerned with getting that perfect photo or video or they get upset with themselves when they see other runners' better times in races, or a myriad of different things, that this episode was overdue. I hope to have the podcast page and group started new by next week. I'll let you all know on the show when I have them up and running.

#319 - There are important moments in history that we can remember. Depending on our age, it can include the first man on the moon, the first computer, the first electric car. There are also historic moments in running that should be remembered as turning points. I go over some of these this week. There are so many, I could not include all of them, so if this is of interest to you, I can do a Part 2, just let me know. I'll include links to the full episode if I covered the moment previously.

Plus I review two Altra running shoes!

#318 - If you find yourself cutting your long runs short by a few miles every time you go out, or that you're getting DNFs more than you are finishes in your races, you may be suffering from Give-Up-Itis! But no worries! Many runners, including myself go through this, not realizing that it might be a sign of a bigger problem. This week, I'll talk about how it happens and what we can do to cure it! Fortunately, it has a 100% cure rate, if you're willing to put in the effort and if you're like me, and you love running, then you know that it's worth it! No worries, there's no prescription and no trip to the doctor's office!

#317 - Recently, I went to Boulder City, Nevada to run the race I should have last year! It was extremely hard, but I did it! I talk all about it this week, including a rookie mistake that nearly cost me the race! I also talk about the rest of my vacation, including a trip to Death Valley! It was a wonderful time!

#316 - We're never going to get PRs at every race. Sooner or later, we'll have a race or training run that disappoints us. The longer we go in our running careers, the more likely disappointments will happen. This week, I help both you and myself get through the Disappointment Minefield. It is a tricky one, and the bigger the disappointment, the harder that minefield it to navigate. But we can do this together. Listen to this episode to be prepared before your next race or even training run! All links are on the show website.

#315 - No fees, no awards, no aid, no wimps. That's how Fat Ass races started many years ago and they're still going on today. These self supported races are disappearing but there are some left and I talk about their beginnings and why they are a great style of race to try. In an era where running is its most expensive, why not try a race that doesn't have a huge entry fee and where the whole point is to enjoy running for running's sake? All links are on the show website.
