    Thank you MOBO Board!

    Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that’s set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly!

    Even if you’re a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You’ll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it’s not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength.

    Unfiltered: New Equipment, Jason’s Knee Injury, Milestones, and more with Jon Levitt
    Aug 15 2024

    Kick back for a less structured conversation with my friend Jonathan Levitt, focusing on the big and small real-life issues affecting runners.

    Jon is a runner, cyclist, and host of For The Long Run Podcast. I like to joke that Jon is the Mayor of Boulder because of his ridiculous network of every single runner who lives within 100 miles. We share a lot of miles on the Boulder trails together and have great, rambling conversations about the running industry and our personal training, like this one.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • New running equipment thoughts

    • A silly knee injury: How I’m prioritizing movement and avoiding pain

    • Adventures at high altitude: Leadville and Breckenridge

    • Which is more impressive: a fast marathon or fast 5k?

    • How middle-distance races improve performance

    • Why we love our podcasts

    • Milestones for Strength Running’s podcast and YouTube channel

    • Why I had a lot of grasshoppers jumping around in my car recently…

    This episode will make you feel like you’re nerding out on running life with your own workout buddies. Enjoy!

  • Zone 2 Q&A: Can You Run Too Slow? When Does Easy Pace Get Faster?

    Zone 2 Q&A: Can You Run Too Slow? When Does Easy Pace Get Faster?
    Jul 25 2024
    Have we put Zone 2 running on an undeserved pedestal? A recent episode with Brady Holmer dug into Zone 2 as it relates to heat training. One listener named Nadine emailed me some great questions to follow up on the Zone 2 conversation. Like many of you, easy running has gotten confusing for Nadine because of so much of the advice on the internet to never go faster than Zone 2 and the value of very slow running. But Nadine was feeling better at slightly faster paces! I figured it'd be more helpful to record a conversation about these topics as a follow-up to our episode with Brady, and Nadine agreed. In this episode, we talk about: Zone 2 for non-elite, less experienced runnersHow and when to increase the speed of easy/long runsIs there such a thing as too slow?What if “too slow” corresponds to the right heart rate?Benefits of Zone 3 running for low-volume runnersPolarizing training and recovery runsRunning in the heat and heat adaptationHow do you determine your easy running pace? If you like what you hear in this episode, send it to a friend who runs!
