Spring time is the time for especially runners to start seeing the fruits of our labour. Race season is just beginning, and the PRs are rolling in. So first I want to start with big congrats to those who raced some of their first races of the season this weekend !!! As NPers the beginning of the month, PR day, is the same milestone. Time to see that all the hard work you have been dong over the last month is paying off. From what I hear, this past week was bursting with them !!!!
For me, my training is not only the miles I get in, the number of squats I do, the minutes of plank I hold (uhhhh seconds of plank), but also learning more about the mechanics of running, different ways to train and what the world around us is doing when it comes to fitness.
I had been meaning to get into podcasts forever (got distracted by listening to Ed Sheeran’s album on constant endless repeat), but recently thanks to a great recommendation from Monica, finally found myself listening to them on the way to work, from work, on the elliptical, while pooping, I mean planking. Podcasts can make any run, plank seem to fly by!! Those planks are going from seconds to mins !! There is literally podcasts about everything.

My number 1 recommendation at the moment, is not a surprising one, Runner’s World. They talk about everything from the newest innovations to events going on in the running world to interviews with some of the world’s best runners from present and past. One of their very first topics …….
….. NOVEMBER PROJECT !!!!! The episode starts with a bounce, and the first line goes …”Those chants sound a little cult like, but as someone who got up at 630 in the morning to try this, it is strangely uniting”
Give it a listen.
