Running with the Pack Podcast

Jeff is back this week. We talk a bit about my new bike, an attempt at buying a triathlon suit, some problems with running motivation, and several notes that we received about running ultramarathons. Good luck to Brandon Wood, who is completing this first marathon as I write this.

This week, I made a short podcast about getting my first road bike, a virtual sprint triathlon that I did this week, Brandon’s upcoming marathon and IT Band issues, Dave’s marathon PR, and a comment from Jim about rollerblading and the Goofy Challenge.

This week, Jeff and I talk about my bike purchase, getting back into longer runs outside, Jeff’s Weight Watcher progress, Borateem versus Borax, the Back on My Feet article from Runner’s World, and a ton of mail and comments that we’ve gotten from our listeners. Thanks for writing in everyone! Also, good luck to Dave from Running in the Center of the Universe and Brandon from Brandon’s Marathon, who are both running marathons this month.

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.
