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 get into a heated discussion about running in the heat and feeling the heat while tapering for an upcoming race. Among their hot tips for hot runs: seek out your neighborhood sprinklers, keep your sweat close to your heart by wearing a cotton shirt and get in on the life changing magic of pretzel cones.
Chris and Kendra discuss the different mindsets of going to a race versus going on an adventure, the highs of running up mountains and the thrills of visiting Adirondack convenience stores.
Chris and Jen pontificate on life and running, when life events crash into running events like a waterfall, and chasing waterfalls at a race in Ithaca.
Chris and Jen talk food, from pickle juice to Mountain Dew to the unparalleled perfection of the burrito. Because really, food is why we run.
Chris and Kendra debate having a rigorous training plan versus running free and the merits of milestone runs and running streaks.
Chris and Jen are joined by Jen’s taller half, Pete, to discuss everything from racing through the mud to the benefits of having a shoe butler / hydration-pack-shuttler / broken-bone-tender on the trails and in life.
While Chris is away launching software or rockets or something, Kendra and Jen take over the radio buttons with um, totally professional results. Or something like that. Chris, please come back and make RIO radio great again.
This week, Chris is literally just off the plane and decides it's a good idea come chat incoherently in Jen's general direction about the Disney Dark Side Half Marathon. So much of the actual experience was left out of these ramblings, but hey... that's what you get with plane brain.
It's Marathon Monday! That's right, Boston! Additionally, it's the 50th anniversary of a woman finishing the race. To celebrate women and the storied Boston Marathon, Kendra shares her "accidental Boston" story. And plus, Jen wrote a book about Running and Life! (original air date 4/17/2017)
This week Jen and Chris discuss when enough running is enough. Maybe Chris is getting better at relaxing during a run and so he doesn't need to run for 4 hours? And if so, what's going on with that big 70 mile race? Also, something about Viking helmets, I think. (original air date 4/10/2017)
