Running Rogue

In this episode, Chris admits he might have been wrong about Jordan Hasay, plus he and Steve handicap the full Boston fields. Then with the main topic, they talk about why mental training is important and lay out a framework for a podcast series on mental training with more episodes to come. 

In this episode, Steve and Chris open with a tribute to two greats Ashton Eaton and Nick Symmonds, but they spend the bulk of the episode talking about how you should prepare for your next marathon across 5 key categories - Logistics, Pace Strategy, Nutrition/Hydration, Gear, and Mental Prep. Listen in so that you are more ready than ever for your next one!

In this episode, we share the story of 85 year old inspiration Ed Whitlock and then tell you why everything you thought you knew about pronation is probably wrong.

In this third episode, we ring in the new year by talking about the US field for the Boston Marathon, chatting with Masters Trail Runner of the Year Paul Terranova, and providing tips on how to start a running program in 2017. Happy 2017 y'all!

In this second episode, we start with a discussion on doping in the sport including the latest from the McLaren report on Russia. We answer the question: how can you be a track and field fan and avoid being jaded by the latest news? Then, we interview Allison Macsas, founder of Rogue Expeditions and an elite-level athlete. Allison shares her journey to become the 22nd fastest marathoner in the country, all while maintaining a full-time job. Her story brings tips and perspectives for runners of all levels. 

In this first episode, Rogue coaches Steve Sisson and Chris McClung talk about Breaking2, Nike's sub-two-hour marathon project, and the foundational training principles of Arthur Lydiard. Lydiard is the father of modern, elite-level distance coaching, but his methods don't always make sense on the surface. Listen to this episode to understand more and learn how to apply Lydiard's principles to your own running.
