By my count, there are 12 arguments people make when debating runners' seasons and/or careers. (And 3 troll arguments that are entirely predictable.) A good message board thread will usually have all of these come up at some point.
Runners often define themselves by their personal records, but PRs rarely answer the most important question: how good are you, really? (New article at Podium Runner)
I had so much fun talking with Alan and Liz on the Running Book Reviews podcast about the ideas in Make the Leap, but what made it so enjoyable was exploring some of their goals, and their challenges as runners and people.
I gave a talk to the San Diego Rotary Club about Feedback Loops. It was based on similar ideas in my January article. See the presentation in this post.
I'm excited to share that Podium Runner, one of the premier online running platforms, has published an excerpt from Chapter 3 of Make the Leap. It's the section dedicated to the Hidden Training Program: what you really need to do to be successful.
I had the enormous pleasure of speaking with Sarah Kane on her Chasing Life podcast. "Always focus on doing the highest quality of work at the level you can do it now and focus on changing it and improving it when you know you are ready."
I am incredibly excited to announce that Jon Rankin and I will be hosting the new Fueling the Pursuit podcast presented by UCAN. We just launched the first episode with an old Bruin teammate of mine, Meb Keflezighi.
