The Podcast

Ever wonder why different training plans look the way they do, and what the thought process is behind them? Heather and Jen discuss the primary training philosophies that most runners use, and how Novice and Intermediate runners might choose a program that meets them where they are.

As we head into our summer months, Heather and Jen revisit the nuances of running in the heat and humidity. Temperatures are rising, and we look to adapting and gearing up for some of the toughest running of the year.

We also want to give a huge shoutout to those who participated in Global Running Day with the Runners Without Limits team. We are with you, we respect and love you all.

Celebrate our first anniversary in today’s podcast. Join us as we take a look back over the past year and share some of our favorite moments. We talk about some of our favorite guests and what we learned on this crazy journey over the past 365+ days.

As we continue to navigate “Safer at Home” directives with ever-dwindling races, we have a lot of time to work on our weaknesses — those aspects of our running that we tend to neglect in favor of actual running. In this episode, Heather and Jen talk with Karli Conzo, a Running Coach and Physical Therapist with Prehab Clinic in New York City. Karli walks us through common running weaknesses and how to get stronger.

In this episode, Heather and Jen catch up on a little news surrounding RunDisney events, and speculate what those events may look like. This leads to a conversation of revised goals…which will likely change within days again. Then the topic turns to some fun and interesting headlines we thought we’d share. Don’t forget to use #RunnersWithoutLimits on Instagram!

Heather and Jen continue discussion about the common mistakes brand new runners make. From getting lost, pacing miscalculations, and the ever important “nothing new on race day,” we continue with laughs and light-hearted fun — we’ve all been there.

With the help of their amazing Podcast Facebook group, Heather and Jen discuss the common mistakes brand new runners make. From forgetting gear, to overtraining they get a little TMI on this one, but hey. This is the reality of being a new runner. Enjoy a chuckle as we try to keep things fun in this crazy time.

While up to our eyeballs in “Shelter at home” directives, Heather and Jen strive to be a continued positive voice. After RunDisney’s Star Wars Rival Run was canceled, they each recap how they adapted their would-be Disney weekend. Then the conversation turns to what it means to be a runner, and how we learned that we do belong in this community and on that start line.

In today’s podcast we dive into some of our favorite apps that we use for our running and fitness journey and we talk about some of the apps you mentioned in the Runners Without Limits Facebook Group. From running-specific apps to cross training to safety and nutrition, we talk about the pros and cons based on our personal experiences.
