Running Inside Out is just one piece of an extremely vibrant running community in Rochester, NY.
We all have our many reasons for running and let's face it, runners love to tell running stories as much as they like to hear running stories. Our goal is to share the stories and successes of the members of this community.
At times we also might talk about cool races, services, stores and products. I apologize in advance, if ever we accidentally talk about something that isn't running related.
Chris and Jen talk about a cornucopia of random nothing: the darkness of the days, the darkness of Chris’ winter running wardrobe, Chris preparing for his upcoming 8 hour race, Jen trying (and failing) to actually do this thing called rest, the agony and ecstasy (ok mostly agony) of planks, and of course, bedazzled Strasburg socks.
The clocks have been set back, the days are getting shorter and racing season is winding down. Chris and Kendra talk about switching gears. Chris is hitting the gym and doing a planking challenge! Kendra is running for two!
Love it or leave it, everyone’s got an opinion about race swag. Do you display all your race bibs and medals? Do you only hold onto the most meaningful booty? Do you hide your medals around the house as a treasure hunt for your kids? Chris and Jen chat about that race bling, from shirts and socks to medals and mugs.
This week Chris is joined by a fellow runner, and fellow WAYO programmer, Jeff Marsh host of Music Therapy on WAYO! And they talk about music! Are you a "music while running" person? Been running through the night and have you music player fail you? Jeff has. Know more than 3 bands? Chris doesn't. Maybe you like listening to people talk about running while you run. Well, this is your lucky day!
Chris and Jen talk about goals: Setting goals. Reaching goals. What if you don’t achieve your goal? What if you do? SMART goals. A goals, B goals, seagulls? Big Hairy Audacious Goals.
Chris and Kendra revel about night running and Ready Set Glow, a 5ish mile nighttime trail race/glow stick fest. Running in the dark can be a little uncomfortable, especially if you can hear the screams of the fisher cat, but it’s also really fun. So go try it! Run in the woods at night, stop, turn off your headlamp and look up at the stars.
Chris and Jen talk about random stuff. Or a meticulously curated list of fall running topics: local fall races, favorite places to run as the leaves change color, Chris running the canal while his kids biked, Jen falling off a bike while riding around Canandaigua Lake.
Chris and Kendra reflect on nothing and everything and FKTs. Is it a disease? Something you’d buy at a gas station? No, it’s the Fastest Known Time. Because you don’t need a race to run fast or have an adventure.
Whether you’re trying to BQ, achieve a toga running record or just chasing that pizza, the marathon is quite an experience. Chris and Jen chat about 26.2-ing in Rochester and beyond, with inevitable detours into baseball, bananas and stilts.
It’s fall (almost)! And that means cross country season, perfect running weather and no bugs! Chris and Kendra have a heart to heart about their love of the fall running season. Kendra waxes poetic about that orange glow over the trails, Chris no longer feels like he’s going to fall over from the heat, and all is well in the fall.
