Run The Riot Podcast

Today's guest is Gwen Zywicke, an ultrarunning friend in Louisiana. Gwen is a professor at LSU who has been doing some really interesting research. You know that feeling when you are running and you're in the zone? In flow? That runner's high? Well, Gwen is researching that and the connection with the mind, body, and spirit, particularly as it relates to ultrarunning! You'll love how passionate she is about her work on her book that will be entitled, "Ultrarunning Mysticism". This was such an interesting conversation! I still have so many questions and can't wait to read the book when she's done! Show Notes here:  http://www.theriot.run/gwen

Do the Best you can with what you've got.  Seminary, balance, and boats.

Brodie has a passion to help runners to run injury-free.  Through his ebooks, podcast, classes, and online clinic, he has helped many runners fix the issues that plague them.  On today's podcast, we discuss numerous issues common to all runners and the importance of rest.

Don't just let life happen to you...go happen to life!

I had a great visit with Rob Steger from the Training for Ultra Podcast.  Listen in as we talk about running long distances, successes, failures, and life! Topics covered:  Triple Crown of 200s, Leadville, nutrition, DNFs, and a bunch of other stuff in between! Show notes here:  http://www.theriot.run/t4u

Know who you are.

One of the things I love about our sport is that it brings people from all walks of life together to enjoy pushing our limits and seeing what we can do.  I enjoyed this in-person visit with Dr. William Clark.   Dr. Clark is a spinal surgeon here in Tulsa Oklahoma specializing in scoliosis and spinal deformity.  He loves his job and the challenges it presents him on a regular basis.  Dr. Clark is an Ironman who has also done ultra-distance mountain bike races, including the Leadville 100.  He’s also completed various ultramarathons with more to come.  Some of you will love his committed but flexible approach to training as he balances work, family, and training.  I had a blast getting to know William and know you will too!

This week we chat with Midwest speedster, Jaclyn Long.  Jaclyn is known for a few things in races around here - speed, naps, waking from the dead, and a unique bluntness during races with her crew.  She’s a busy woman.  She’s a mom and nanny and raises tortoises, turkeys, and other "fowl" creatures.  Running gave her a focus when she was recovering from an eating disorder and she hasn’t stopped!  Join us for a very interesting conversation with Jaclyn!  Show Notes: http://www.theriot.run/jlong

I had a blast catching up with Mike to talk about all that he’s been up to since we had him on the podcast on episode 6.  On that first interview, we focused on Mike’s accident that could have kept him from running again.  We also discussed his win of all three races in the Triple Crown of 200s.  This time we talk a bit more about his low carb approach to running, his ZERO calorie 100-mile run, the Colorado Trail FKT, his Cocodona 250 DNF, and his big plans for the future which includes a 2022 Appalachian Trail FKT attempt!

Today we’ll be chatting with a friend of mine, Jeremy Howard.  Jeremy, like many of us, found his love for running a little later in life and discovered that he was good at it!  He recently attempted the gnarly,  273 mile “Long Trail” Unsupported, Fastest Known Time (FKT) in Vermont.  Join us as we dive into Jeremy’s amazing experience and lessons learned on the trail.   https://www.instagram.com/jhoward131/ https://www.playbrigade.com/challenge/
