The 20 Minute Runner

Good to have you along for this episode. We continue the training as we bring you along for this run. This episode reminds us of the beginning of Spring, and perhaps the beginning of a running program. I share my ideas about how to approach this; I am literally beginning again as we speak, being into the 5th full week of my running reboot. I suggest using the FACT method: Frequency

Wecome to this episode of The 20MR podcast. In case you get lost during the opening, we begin with some of the audio from the first installment of "The 20 Minute Runner Video Podcast Extra." That says a lot to say this: we have launched a YouTube channel. You can find the link on this page either on the sides (laptop/desktop) or near the bottom of the screen in the mobile view. I w

(THIS MP3 IS CLEAN. SORRY FOR THE FIRST FEW DEFFECTIVE UPLOADS) We are beginning yet again--after almost a year. While it has not been a year since we ran, it has been a while. A few reasons, one of them the most legitimate: pain. Not just the pain of the body, but the pain of loss. While I thought about waiting until I "had it all together" with the running, I decided to be as tra

The pic for this blog entry/episode is of the crab apple tree in my front yard, the one I planted in memory of my father just about 11 years ago now. The run in this episode began just a few feet from it at the end of my driveway. Thank you for joining me yet again. We are still working on Project GB, though we are getting very close to 30 minutes of running without stopping. I am

Good to have you back for another episode. We begin with an update on the weather--and yet another bout of illness. Will it ever end? We also give updates on what my supplements are. You may do the same or something different. Regardless, I believe in limited use and am not sure if they all benefit me or not. But at least my brain thinks so! Thanks for the emails and FB likes. Plea

We are making progress. You join me today on the 8th run since we have started project "GB" (Getting Back). It will take a few more short weeks before we get to where we can run the full 30 minutes without walking; we will get there.I begin this episode with a short clip from when I visited my mother several days ago in the nursing facility back home in Duplin County, NC. It was a

I cannot believe that we finally have another episode out! It has been too long. Anyway, this is the first episode of many that I almost did not do. Why? It is about Project GB (to almost steal a phrase from Coach Jeff). Whereas he has been working on Project PB, I am working on project "Getting Back." The road has been long, but I am now ready to get the show...and running for tha

As always, it is so good to have you along for this episode. We share some content from my recent trip to visit my mom in Wallace, NC, including an endorsement from my niece. I have also received correspondence from some listeners, including an mp3 from Coach Jeff Smith.The heart of the show, however, is about the importance of rest and recovery. I share what I like to do (includin

It's good to have you along with me for this episode. In it, I share some information about the only page that will host all of the content beginning with episode 102. This episode (101) is the last one to be hosted on blogspot. Instead, all content, including show notes, podcasts episodes, etc., will be at The20minuterunner.podbean.com only. Be sure and go to the site--if you are

I can hardly believe it! Finally, the BIG 100! Welcome to the 100th episode of the podcast. While it has taken almost five years to get here, we have arrived. I worked really hard on the editing. Suffice it to say, editing this show took longer than the marathon--way longer. But, it has been a blast and so much fun.In this very special episode, I take you back to the beginning--and
