Frank Shorter is one of those rare living legends whose legacy is seen in every runner who seeks to better him or herself, and who runs with an infectious joy and passionâand sincerity. There are legends in our sport, as there should beâbut Frank Shorter is much more than a legend, he is an Olympian, a leader, a teacher, a good person and above all: a fellow runner.

This episode of Fdip is much different than all the others, and for those of you who dislike the musical selections that I include in each episode, this one is probably not for you. But music marks our life and times. Itâs more than just the poetry or melody: itâs the soundtrack that touches us; it expresses and reflects our feelings, it captures our emotions and it gives voice to our hearts. In this show youâll hear ten independent artists (nine musical) and songs from previous episodes as we celebrate my three years of podcasting and I go for a run around a tiny little island in the State of Maine, because this week: Iâm on vacation!

Planning your Fall Marathon is all about setting a goal, with many months ahead of you within which to prepare. What marathoners learn as we engage in this preparation is that the joy, passion and discovery takes place during our training: in many ways the marathon itself is merely a celebration of what we have been able to achieve through the hours and miles that weâve spent in training to get us to that starting line. Now is the time to pick our races, now is the time to make our commitments, now is the moment to promise to ourselves and others that we will train well and hard, and complete a 26.2 mile course with dedication, determination, strength and honorâand these are the races that you and I will run.

One of the great things about You Tube is priceless moments on the floor of the House or Senate can be brought to our attention. C-Span records the proceedings but someone else edits those 3 and 4 hour marathons down to 2 minutes of pure stupidity. Representative Darell Issa serves up tonight s course. From TP: ISSA: We are going to miss Tim Russert when it comes to the people on both sides of the issue of why we have $5 oil — $5 gasoline and $135 oil. I think Tim Russert would have been just the right guy to hold people accountable, who would talk about the 68 million acres that are, quote, inactive, while in fact 41 million are under current lease and use and are producing millions of barrels of oil and natural gas a day.

Today, Iâm going to tell you a little bit about a book written by Dr. George Sheehan titled âPersonal Best: The foremost philosopher of fitness shares techniques and tactics for success and self liberation, published in 1989 by Rodale Press. Itâs a book of 37 chapters, each one an essay and study into an physical of cerebral aspect of running. For anyone looking to read a sample of the right brain/left brain writings of Dr. Sheehan, this book gives you a good sense of his style. He challenges us to think about our lives, our running, and our purpose within each page. George Sheehan understood that running was more than just an activity; it is an expression of life and love.

Have a glass of wine with me while I catch up on some emails from fellow runners. Wine is one of my many passions. In order to appreciate wine you have to come into it with a clear head, a clear palate and a clear nose. Wine making dates back to 6000 BC and is a major part of the culture of many societies and religions. Wine is also a social beverage, something to share with friends and enjoy with a good meal. Itâs good for you as well, consumed in moderation wine has been found to have both cardioprotective and chemoprotective effects. In this short format version of my podcast, Iâll be resting my ankle and enjoying a glass of wine with you as we hear from fellow runners across the planet. http://fitnessrocks.org http://sierratrailrunner.blogspot.com http://www.fatcyclist.com http://runwithme-cindy.blogspot.com http://runningintothesun.blogspot.com http://unabuonaforchetta.blogspot.com http://www.worldwidehalf.com http://anotherrunner.com http://www.boglewinery.com http://santarita.com http://www.bodegasluzon.com

Today Iâd like to point out something thatâs really obvious; so obvious in fact, that we tend not to think about it much. In this episode I present for you a very basic, truthful, scientific and historical bit of trivia that both describes and explains the premise which propose, and that piece of trivia is this: Fred Flintstone never wore running shoes. Running shoes are not evil: youâll have to pry my NB 426âs off my hot sweaty feet if you ever want me to give up my running shoes: but we should entertain the idea that running without shoes on the open road may be a more natural, less injurious way to run.

I have known my friend Kathy for many years, through many life adventures and glasses of quality wine. In this short format episode of Phedippidations, we run the Long Island Marathon Festival of Races 10K road race in New York, with the goal of finishing in an hour or less. This is also the story of how I met my wife and the contentious angry beginnings of a friendship that will last a lifetime, and about my incredible victory in a epic battle which took place during an all night drive to Pennsylvania a long time ago in an automobile far, far away. http://www.thelimarathon.com

In this episode we'll hear the stories of others who ran the 112th Boston Marathon. When you write up a race report you re not just doing it for yourself to memorialize the even, you're doing it for others; passing on your observations so that they can incorporate it into their own form of opinion as a way to better understand the event so that we can improve our performance on race day. Its not enough to just run the race, or even run it well, you have to tell others about your race. Race reports are a big part of the process of running, racing and competing with each other. Itâs in this way that we give something back to our fellow runners; and with a sport that gives us all so much in terms of joy, passion, and health: the verbal or written telling of your story from the races you run is an important way to give back to this community.

This is a race report and audio recording of my 7th time running the Boston Marathon. This year was different in that I approached the starting line unprepared for the task ahead of me. Suffering from a case of peroneal tendonitis, my training was minimal throughout the winter months. On April 21st, 2008 I made the decision to ignore common sense setting a bad example to friends, family and fellow runners by ignoring my pain and pushing myself through a 26.2 mile race. What you'll hear in this episode is neither inspiring or noble, but it will raise the question: Why?â Show Links: www.worldwidehalf.com steverunner.com/PatriotsDayResults.htm www.bostonmarathon.com The song âCurra Roadâ by Sharon Shannon off her 2007 album âRenegadeâ sung by Mike McGoldrick and produced by Daisy Entertainment in Dublin, Ireland. www.sharonshannon.com O Fortuna was recorded by the Boston Symphony Orchestra www.bso.org The parody âFinish Lineâ was inspired of the song âStill Aliveâ by Jonathan Coulton www.jonathancoulton.com

It really means a lot to me that youâd come out to have a beer with me, send me such kind words, good wishes, hopeful prayers, emails, blog posts, and voice messages to the Extra Mile PodCastâand for being with me, in spirit, on race day. This is a short episode of Intervals, produced for race day of the 112th Boston Marathon, with thanks to everyone who have been so thoughtful to a middle aged, middle of the pack, slightly asthmatic, curiously injured fellow runner.

The Boston Marathon is a race that challenges an athlete in a way that most courses do not, neither buy design or intent. It is not a fast course. It is not a race where any runner, elite or back of the pack, will set a marathon PR, but it is a race for which all other marathons seek to enable athletes to arrive in a small New England town for the eastward run into the heart of bean town. This is the story of the 87th running of this event, where the last American male runner won the day, and a woman athlete named Joan ran a race for the ages.

What happens in Boston, starts in Hopkinton. In this episode I take my last 16 miler from the starting line of the Boston Marathon through the bottom of Newton Lower Falls. For those of us who will run the race, youâll eventually come to Hereford Street where crowds will block your forward progress and urge you to turn right. Youâll run this short block with the screams of spectators echoing off the buildings and will finally make your left hand turn onto Boylston Street, with the finish line just ahead of youâwith the promise of a well earned time and an ice cold beer there beyond the portal. Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, good wishes and thoughtful prayers in both emails and audio comments on episode 21 of The Extra Mile Podcast. It means so much to me that youâd take the time to wish me luck, and a happy taper. In the words of the ancient Romans: âOmnia vincit amorâ (love conquers all).

It takes courage to stand up to authority. It requires an act of bravery to break the unfair rules so as to start the discussion. K.V.

I have been invited to run the 112th Boston Marathon, and today Iâd like to invite you to join me through this goofy little podcast. In this short format episode of Phedippidations âIntervalsâ I extend to you an invitation to follow my progress on Patriots Day, April 21st, 2008. Also, I talk about my gratitude for the thoughtful gift of an invitational entry to this race from a good friend and the Massachusetts Wing of the Civil Air Patrol. http://mawg.cap.gov http://www.bostonmarathon.org http://groups.google.com/group/fdipgroup

We run for ourselves, for our health, for our family and friends, we run to honor, to celebrate, to achieve, and to accomplish. We run because we canâbecause at a very basic level we are good animals who were meant to move with purpose. We are runners; no better or worse than those who chose to practice an alternate motion of sport, or dance, or actionâbut we all have good reasons for being out thereâand while we might not always be self aware of why weâre doing it: when someone asks you the inevitable question; you might want to consider what your answer will beâwho do you run for?

My name is John. Today I am going to take to the microphone and, on this special episode of Intervals, give you a sense of what itâs really like to live under the brutal and maniacal dictatorship of my Dad: Steve Runner. For today I hope to uncover the truth for you: that my father is a warped, twisted old man who refuses to buy me a puppy. As you listen to this episode, I hope youâll come to appreciate my plight and do everything you can to rescue me from a life with Steve Runner.

Because of my new intermittent schedule, this episode of Fdip has the distinction (and curse) of being the longest Iâve produced thus far. The internet has created a way for runners to find and use resources for research, community, asking questions, sharing ideas, and for tracking our running performance. Free online training logs are available for us to use to help us reach our running goals. You should consider using an online training log to share your running log and upcoming schedule with a larger community of runners who can offer your advice, warn you in advance of injury and join you in your journey on the road.

You owe it to yourself, and to the rest of the running community, to start writing a blog, or producing a podcast. Write about your thoughts, your opinions and share your rambling diatribes…because at some point you’re going to write or record something that will touch another fellow runner, somewhere in this world, in such as way that it will have an important and positive influence in their life.

To push yourself past your zone of comfort you need to smile, think positively, focus on something other than the pain and weakness and dedicate yourself to a higher purpose other than âjust finishingâ. Most of all, you have to have the insatiable desire to reach your goal by making your efforts on the road more important than just yourself. If you can do this you will find that you can accomplish great things through your running, and be the runner and human being youâve always known you could be. This episode ends with an announcement about the future of Phedippidations. Show Links: http://www.worldwidehalf.com The song âAll I Really Wantedâ was by Jim Fidler www.jimfidler.com

The Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training stands by their philosophy of training as being the best scientifically proven method to improve as a runner, and gain fitness as an athlete. By limiting your time on the road to three intense workouts each week, and supplementing your training with cross training, they insist that you will become a better, more efficient runnerâable to meet and exceed all of your running goals.
