#379 - It's tough enough to run with the demands of our busy lives. Add migraines into the mix and well, you could have many missed training runs and even races! Millions of Americans suffer from migraines, and many of those are runners. This week, I take a detailed look at migraines and how we can if not avoid them all together, reduce their effects so they don't hurt our running careers.

#378 - A couple weeks ago I did an episode on animals to watch out for on your runs. This week, I'm going over plants that could be harmful if you're not careful. If you are careful, stick to the trail and keep your eyes out, you'll be fine, but sometimes we take a few more chances than we should, so this may help you identify plants that don't like to play nice.

#377 - There are many ways we runners hurt our training runs and races and we don't even realize it! This week, I go over a few different ways we hurt our running and how we can either stop doing it or choose something more helpful.

I also realized after I recorded this episode, that I left off a few, so there will be a Part 2 coming along in a few weeks! Sometimes we are our own worst enemy, but we don't have to be!

Also, if you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel, I upload at least one short every week and I'll start adding longer separate videos soon!

#376 - The vitamin and supplement industry makes billions of dollars per year, much of it from athletes, like us runners. My question this week is: Do runners need supplements? This isn't an easy question to answer. We may or we may not. I break it down and go over the yes and the no answers, as well as what vitamins may help our running. I conclude the episode by talking about those additions in our supplements we do NOT want, including lead! You don't want to this this one!

#375 - No matter where we run, road or trail, we're board to encounter animals. What kind of run does determine what kind of animal you'll meet. In the contiguous North American States, there's a lot of animals we can encounter. This episode is about the many animals you may meet. Sorry Alaska, but you're on your own. Same for your Australia, I'm sure you're much more well-versed on your fauna than I am. I researched from a variety of experts to find the best and most common sense advise handling the many animals we many encounter. I hope you find this helpful and keep having fun on your runs!

#374 - The long run is the most important run in your running week. It can also sometimes cause you the most trouble. This week, I revisit the long run (I previously recorded an episode on the long run) with updates and give a more personal example with my very current long run problems. If you're having problems being motivated to finish those long miles, then this episode is for you! We can do this together!

#373 - Running is an expensive sport. It CAN be a very expensive sport, but it doesn't have to be, if we choose where to spend our money. This week, I give you guidance and some ideas how to spend your money wisely. You may have your own list which is completely different than mine and that's awesome. It helps to know what it important enough to you to spend more money on and where you can save. By making certain items priorities, we can hopefully, spare ourselves from spending too much when we don't have to.

Also, don't miss the end of the show when I talk about what happened at the Los Angeles Marathon this weekend.

#372 - Have you ever heard a runner call say someone else wasn't "a real runner"? Have you heard someone call someone disparagingly "a jogger"? This person is trying to gatekeep running. Trying to keep others out of certain running circles is nothing new. Fortunately, it's not as common as it used to be, but it still happens. I explore the subject of gatekeeping today. I also talk about why it may be a positive thing in some circumstances.

Also, please don't miss the last part of the show, where I give tribute to one of the pioneers in running.
