Send us Fan Mail#408 - We runners get A LOT of advice. Some advice we hear all the time. There is other advice that we don't hear very often or maybe we don't think is important enough to listen. This week is about all that advice we don't hear often, or we don't think is important, yet it is. Foot strength, running downhill, not paying attention to Strava, and more, it's all here! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Send us Fan Mail#407 - If you're still under the impression that you shouldn't walk during your road runs, either in training or races, this episode might change your mind. Walking during your runs can help keep you going. It might make you faster, depending on you utilize it. I cover a few ways you can add walking and help out your runs.

Send us Fan Mail#406 - Every year around Halloween, I release a special episode just for the occasion! I love the scary stories about the trails, or around the trails and I pick out a place that might be haunted, who knows? This year, it's focused on the park that holds the oldest mountains in the world, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! So, go for a run and listen about the haunted woods or sit back and listen in your darkened home, by candlelight!  Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Send us Fan Mail#405 - It's autumn, which for most runners, is our favorite season. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather is cooler and we can finally stop dying each time we go out in the heat. At least it feels like it. Of course, that means that even colder weather is on its way. Sorry, Southern Hemisphere Folks, you're on your own! This week, I update a very old episode I did years ago with some tips that I've learned over the years. What prompted me to do this episode is the very sad and tragic deaths of four hikers in Washington State recently. They were caught unprepared in early snowstorms. So I think it's really important to be prepared, so we can still have fun running! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Send us Fan Mail#404 - Last week, I published an episode about some of the races I never want to run. This week, I turn it positive and talk about some of the races I would like to run. All of the races listed are regardless of qualifications and skills, it's just a fun list of "what ifs". And both of these episodes are just that: for fun. So enjoy and have great runs! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Send us Fan Mail#403 - We all have a list of races or types of races, we don't want to run. This week, I give you my list of specific races I will never run. Some of them may not be surprising if you've heard my show before, while others might be. We're just having a fun week looking at races that don't appeal to me and maybe you're thinking of races that don't appeal to you as well. Next week, I'll give you my list of races I would love to run, regardless of qualification and distance! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Send us Fan Mail#402 - Let's face it, we runners are different. And that's perfectly fine. We do things a bit different than our non-running friends and family. This week, I go over some of the differences. Now, if some of these non-running things are stuff you do, no worries, these are just habits and daily things I do not do. I'm sure you have your own list. It's just for fun, so no need to take it too seriously. Enjoy! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Send us Fan Mail#401 - One of the best trails in the US encompasses Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada. It's not a super long trail, but it's one of the most beautiful. This week, I give reasons why you should get at least a few hours on this wonderful trail. If you don't want to do an overnight backpacking trip, a trail run is a lot of run. I give you most of the information you need to get you excited to get a few miles in the Sierra Nevada Mountains! Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Send us Fan Mail#400 - Do you plan every moment of your life to the last detail and then check and recheck and recheck again to make sure everything is going the way you planned? Or do you decide what you want to do at the last possible minute, never really knowing because that's the excitement in life? We can translate these behaviors into our running and see how they help and also hurt our running. I give some pointers in this episode. I also talk a little bit about what doing 400 episodes means to me. Support the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@martharunstheworldInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#
