#310 - Races continue to grow from the lower numbers since 2020, along with the technology we use. Many things will take more importance in the new year while other things will become common place.

#309 - 2024 was a big year in many ways. The Paris Olympics were big, as well as a massive first at the Barkley Marathons. I go over a few of the highlights in running this year, along with some trends. It's impossible to cover all of them, so this is just a few. I also talk about my own year, which started out on the rough side, but has since improved greatly. And if that's not enough, I also share my favorite Christmas songs!

I hope you had a great 2024 in running! Let me know what your highlights this year were. You can email me at martharunstheworld@gmail.com

#306 - Wherever there's a race, there are those few who try to get around the rules, try to earn things without working for them and show everyone how they are seemingly "the best". But are they? This week, it's all about race cheaters. What types of cheaters are there? I give examples of one-time cheaters, as well as serial cheaters. And the bigger question: Why do cheaters cheat? What type of runner is most likely to cheat?

Please note this is Part 1 of 2 parts. The second part will be exclusively on Doping, which is a whole other type of cheating and deserves an entire episode.

And a correction: In my talking about the 2018 SF Hot Chocolate Race, I described the corals as being separated by miles per hour when I should have said separated by mile per minutes. My apologies.

All information can be found on the website.

#305 - In 2021, the ultramarathon community experienced its worst disaster in history. In the Chinese province of Gansu a terrible and preventable nightmare occurred. I will go over all the details; what led up to it, why it happened and how it could have been prevented. I will also help you from becoming a victim of a similar disaster.

Also, I review the running book - The Frontrunner, written by last week's guest Brad Fawley.

#304 - The Frontrunner is that rare book: a novel about running. It's more than that though. It's a story of understanding who one truly is through running. And it's really good. Author Brad Fawley joins me this week to talk about his book, his own runner (like his book, he's really good!), and all the other things he does or has done. If you're looking for motivation or even for a great next book to read, you've come to the right place! All the links are on the show website!

#303 - During my Ruth Anderson 50k race a few weeks ago, I realized that some food choice changes needed to be made. I've done a lot of thinking about how my food habits effect my running and races. They go hand in hand. This week, I talk about how my nutritional healthy choices will make a positive effect on my running and hopefully put an end to my past GI problems. Figuring out and perfecting our nutrition is difficult, I really hope this helps end my past problems and I hope that sharing them with you will help you on your own running journey!
